What is Yue AI?
Yue AI refers to "YuE," an open-source AI music-generation model (Apache 2.0, from HKUST/M-A-P and others) that generates full songs with vocals and accompaniment from lyrics, singing in English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and more. It's self-hostable from GitHub/Hugging Face and allows commercial use. Note: this page's URL (yueai.ai) is a third-party site offering the model online—separate from the official YuE GitHub project—and its "free" service has no published pricing.

About "Yue AI"
What is Yue AI (YuE)
Yue AI refers to "YuE," an open-source AI music-generation model that generates full songs—vocals and accompaniment—from lyrics. YuE is an open-source model (Apache License 2.0) released by HKUST and M-A-P and others, billed as "an open foundation model for full-song generation, similar to Suno.ai." It can sing in multiple languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, and you can specify genre and mood.
This page's URL (yueai.ai) is a third-party site that lets you use the open-source YuE model online, and its operator is not disclosed. YuE's official project is on GitHub (multimodal-art-projection/YuE), separate from yueai.ai. This page focuses on the open-source YuE model, which is the substance.
Make songs with vocals from lyrics
YuE's trait is that it generates vocals and accompaniment together from lyrics and a genre. With a "dual-track (dual-token)" technique that handles vocals and accompaniment as separate tracks, plus a semantically enhanced audio tokenizer, it aims for natural song structure. Being open source, you can get the model from GitHub or Hugging Face and run it in your own environment.

02Technology
- Dual-track generation — generate vocals and accompaniment simultaneously
- Semantically enhanced tokenizer — aims for high-quality audio output
- LLaMA-based two-stage architecture — 7B (stage 1) + 1B (stage 2)
03Use
- Open source / self-host — published on GitHub / Hugging Face
- Commercial use OK (Apache 2.0) — attribution recommended
The "full songs up to 5 minutes" claim comes from the online site; the official README says "several minutes" and generates short segments by default (longer output needs more generation/compute). Actual length and quality vary by environment and settings.
Pricing
The open-source YuE model is free—you can get it from GitHub/Hugging Face and self-host it (inference needs your own compute). The online site yueai.ai advertises itself as "free," but no pricing page or clear plans/limits are published (its FAQ references a pricing page that does not exist). The previously mentioned "Free (5 songs/mo) / Pro $9.99 / Enterprise" cannot be verified, so it is not listed here. Check [YuE official (GitHub)](https://github.com/multimodal-art-projection/YuE) or the respective sites for the latest (as of August 2026).
How it differs from other AI music generators
YuE's strengths are that it is open source, generates songs with vocals from lyrics, and allows self-hosting and commercial use. For ease and quality, commercial cloud services may suit better.
| Aspect | YuE (Yue AI) | Suno | Mureka |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery | Open source (self-hostable) | Cloud service | Cloud service |
| Focus | Lyrics → vocals + accompaniment | Music generation broadly | Music generation, DAW control |
| Price | The model is free | Free–subscription | Free–subscription |
To easily make high-quality songs, Suno, Mureka, and AIVA are comparison points. If you want to run an open-source model yourself and use it commercially, YuE is a strong choice.
