#OpenAI Musenet no longer accepting uploaded midi files

😦 upset about this. I absolutely need Musenet to work. I read this is only GPT2? If OpenAI had to sacrifice this old Blog from 2018 for ChatGPT heavy demand -- Please oh please Just provide the pretrained weights so I can run it in my own notebook? Or maybe it is having a temporary error?

Generation also doesnt work for the preloaded examples. it doesnt expand the length and it doesnt upload custom midis anymore. This is recent , the error only began in the last day or so.

MuseNet is Indispensable. It can't be allowed to just disappear. Musenet is still one of the best music completion models to date.

OpenAI

We’ve created Musenet, a deep neural network that can generate 4-minute musical compositions with 10 different instruments and can combine styles from country to Mozart to the Beatles.

This has been happening for over a week now. They do nothing and do not respond. There are echoes on reddit, twitter and even here, but SILENCE.

#

I don't know what to suggest. I tried everything to contact them. I tweeted them, emailed them, on the help page, but silence.

#

Kind of guys. Your neural network has not been working for more than a week and everyone who uses it writes to you, but you ignore it.

#

I understand that no one needs MuseNet except experimenters and there was no influx of audience on the neural network, but pay attention already and have respect at least answer that you will not do anything or completely close the work of MuseNet given their tendency to go to a paid basis.

#

I still had the idea to write to the authors listed on the site.

#

How have you been using musenet previously? Was there an API? Can you give me some links to any programmatic interfaces?

rapid totem
#

I tweeted them. Let's see what will happen.

rapid totem
silver veldt
#

There's no pretrained model or pretrained notebook where we can train it ourselves?

#

and theres no colab or something where we can interact programatically with it instead of using the MuseNet website itself?

rapid totem
#

I don't know about that, it's worth asking questions in the chat, but I know that they have a GitHub with MuseNet.

I'm going to bed. Tomorrow I will check again the work of MuseNet.

rapid totem
#

It still doesn't work. My Christmas was ruined.horrified

rapid totem
#

I hope they fix it by the New Year. I've already done my best, good luck.

#

I will only control this thread so that it does not get deleted. Therefore, I will write here every day that the neural network is not yet working.

#

@silver veldt
Any ideas what might have happened? It’s just that the author of this AI hasn’t been working in OpenAI for a long time, but MuseNet continued to work without it until December 12th.

#

At least I learned about it from the discussion of people

silver veldt
#

Hey I’m really not sure, I’m also lost myself :/

# silver veldt Hey I’m really not sure, I’m also lost myself :/

I can describe the problem in more detail. As if the interface itself works and at a basic level you can work with the available four pieces and four styles, but if you go to the tab where there is more material and you can select tools and more styles, then it simply does not work. Feeling like a neural network is sending a null request is simple. Also, you can't load midi files for some reason, although this function worked.

#

Probably worth checking exactly the work in "SHOW ADVANCED SETTINGS" most likely the problem lies in the fact that it does not process the request or something is damaged.

#

Well, or something by chance could be deleted.

#

Maybe..?

#

Unfortunately, I don't know how to code. The only thing that I had to do in my life was a ruby ​​script for rpg maker.

#

It just does not respond to requests in "SHOW ADVANCED SETTINGS", if you do not use things there, then the basic thing works.

#

In general, if there is news, I advise you to ping me. I have been sitting for more than a week and watching what is happening with the neural network. I can test things when needed.

"MuseNet still does not work"

rapid totem
#

I'm sorry, but I mentally burned out in anticipation and manifestation of activity for more than a week. I have to leave this account which was created for anonymity basically. It's too hard for me to double-check something every day. I hope you can somehow better influence the situation and draw attention to the situation. I will not say my nickname on social networks, but it will just be possible to stumble upon a person who actively ran through all social networks where there are OpenAI accounts, communities and their employees and other people who wrote about the same problem. Good luck with dealing with this situation. I did my best and wrote wherever I could. Thank you for your understanding and attention to this situation.

@azure pendant The only person who answered my email is Andrew Mayne, OpenAI Science Communicator. His answer:

"I think OpenAI stopped supporting that a while ago. It's over three years old – which is ancient by AI standards.

Best,

Andrew"
It should be understood that this is only a communicator and the main thing to note is "think", but still what progress has been made.

rapid totem
#

Well.. I couldn't figure out anything..

#

Could you help with this situation by writing to their mail? .. I think we can develop what is happening with a little more active requests for the situation .. support@openai.com
@silver veldt @azure pendant

#

Yeeaa @azure pendant

azure pendant
#

yeah i literally have multiple midi files waiting to be expanded and I can't do anything now T_T

azure pendant
#

it was literally working perfectly up till a week or two ago when ChatGPT started requiring more compute

rapid totem
#

Well.. MuseNet is completely broken.

#

Even the demo mode is broken

azure pendant
#

consider it "ancient" al lyou want there is still ZERO midi GPTs that come anywhere close, and Wav and spec based music models suck and sound horrible, and jukebox is The Worst

silver veldt
#

I think this project is dead

#

and there's no point thinking/worrying about this anymore

rapid totem
#

Maybe my hypothesis does not make sense, but something tells me that this is true, because apart from the working interface and the ability to download files, nothing works here

silver veldt
#

I think it would be time to find an alternative

azure pendant
#

its just "dead" like 5 days ago?

#

Its not dead its just that it got sacrificed for chatgpt which is a propaganda bot

silver veldt
#

yeah I just mean

#

we can't hope for updates at this point

#

It's clear that musenet is not a priority

#

nor will it be prioritized quickly

azure pendant
#

i didnt need updates it was fine as it was

#

it would be great if they released the weights though to run on our own notebook]

silver veldt
#

updates as in updates from staff as to what's happening with the project, seems like they just dont want musenet taking server power while chatGPT's alive

azure pendant
#

this is horrible 😦

rapid totem
#

Ah.. Wait

#

Yes, they turned off MuseNet, and it shows in their silence and how everything does not work too well here, it does not look like a random mistake

silver veldt
#

It's definitely not a mistake

#

yeah

rapid totem
#

Too qualifying points removed simply

#

Is Sam the head of the company?

#

If so, they are planning to launch a new service system to better connect with the audience.

#

I tried to write to him, but on Twitter I saw a post about launching new processes on the site and in the chat

#

If this does not affect the operation of MuseNet, then this is really not a mistake, but a choice of them. If they really have problems with communication now at the post offices and so on, then this could really be a mistake.

#

We should wait after the holidays and try to write to them again

#

I think this is logical, but if everything fails, then an alternative is already in development.

#

Because the author of MuseTree is now making an alternative build where his system will work already, and not MuseNet services

#

I contacted the person who is in contact with him and they told me that after the appearance of this chat, the demand for MuseNet, which apparently the company cut off, so as not to waste resources and not draw attention to the old system, has grown sharply.

#

They even have a hunch that they may not return the work of MuseNet

#

Because for the company, this simply does not make sense, it is an extra burden.

#

Plus, the author of this AI has long since retired from the company and the question arises. And who will support MuseNet? Especially for no one, it remains only on the basis of this code to make an alternative that will work outside of MuseNet services, but work the same way because it is an analogue. What are they doing now.

#

@silver veldt @azure pendant
What are your thoughts on this? How best to act or really wait as I suggest

#

I advise you to stay in touch with me and they will immediately give me a link to a new working build, and I will pass it on to you

#

We literally need to live through the New Year in order to look at the results in January and continue to work with the situation that has developed, if everything is so bad, then petitions and pickets always work in Europe, lol

#

Just because MuseNet has a huge creative potential even for generating ideas for original composers who do not exploit its functionality and ability to write a track for you at all

#

The only thing I suggest is to really wait until the end of this week and after the holiday already ask OpenAI to go again about the work of MuseNet, if everything is even, then support the enthusiast project that makes MuseTree

#

heres something i made back when it worked

rapid totem
rapid totem
azure pendant
#

done before dec 12

#

i did a little touching up in post with reverb

#

musenet starts at 00:22

rapid totem
#

I can show my work, but I'll warn you right off the bat, I'm only using MuseNet to generate ideas. I don’t let this neural network write tracks for me, but only an intro or a piece if I don’t know how to continue the track.

#

Sorry, I can't show the full version with the arrangement. The author of the game will kill me if I do this before the release.

azure pendant
#

nice lol it sounds like sonic

rapid totem
#

When the part with the piano ends, then I already enter there again with my motif

rapid totem
azure pendant
#

love it

rapid totem
#

I'm just inspired by music from games like Sonic

#

0: 22

#

I didn't even know what motif was supposed to play here, but it sounds perfect

#

This track is unlikely to be finished. A terrible apathy covered me after this whole situation. I spent my personal time sorting out all this and helping people who use it and build their YouTube channels on generated tracks. I sat for more than a week and followed everything that was happening and wrote where I could.

#

Briefly speaking. So that this branch does not die, I will write some things here until the new year. So that later you can sit back and deal with things.

#

In general, I love to play with different software for unusual sounding tracks. I can connect not only a neural network for the sake of one passage. I used one program in one track, not a big one from github

azure pendant
azure pendant
#

lol

#

thats so openai

rapid totem
#

Okay, apparently not fate. Is it legal at all? Why do we communicate in English then

#

Russian is my native language

#

My parents are from Russia lol

rapid totem
#

This is what this program does

#

It replaces the sound in the audio track with other samples. It doesn't work like sampling or replacing a sample, it just embeds the sounds in a natural way.

azure pendant
#

lol warning its a war song

#

musenet @ 2:00

rapid totem
#

I'm too tired for the day. I have done too much and wasted time on MuseNet.

#

I really hope only that my efforts will lead to something, otherwise I will be offended that everything was in vain and I spent a whole week for nothing

azure pendant
#

i support trying to message the author of musenet like you said btw

azure pendant
#

@faint saffron please refer this to the relevant humans

rapid totem
#

December 28, MuseNet is still dead

rapid totem
#

@azure pendant HEY

#

AHAHAHAHA

#

I MAKE IT

rapid totem
#

Hey guys! A comment abruptly popped up on a friend's channel with the description "We just got confirmation that they have no intention of bringing it back up." channel name @MuseNetEnthusiast. Do you know anything about it? Is this true or just a scam?

azure pendant
#

: i dont know anything about it but thats literally horrible

#

why cant they just post the weights up on the repo like Clip

#

or on Hugging Face. Come on

azure pendant
distant birch
#

Hey, just checking before I give false hope, but is twitter user mcleavey someone who is reliable for information in this situation

azure pendant
#

no idea. i wanna say maybe?

#

im leaning on yes

#

Yes

any alternatives?

#

@azure pendant @rapid totem can you guys recommend me any alternative free api to MuseNet? thank you :)

Bump. I need this.

I just want confirmation Musenet will come back one day, I don’t care when.
