MusicGPT

MusicGPT is an application that allows users to generate music locally using large language models (LLMs) without requiring heavy dependencies like Python or machine learning frameworks. It currently supports MusicGen by Meta, with plans to incorporate additional music generation models in the future. The project aims to achieve text and melody conditioned music generation, infinite music streams, and other advanced features.
