Futureverse, a leading AI and metaverse technology and content company, has partnered with Alibaba Cloud, the digital technology and intelligence side of Alibaba Group. The collaboration aims to make significant advances in the breakthrough technology offered by Futureverse’s JEN AI for the future of AI in the music and entertainment industries.
Futureverse and Alibaba Cloud Partnership for AI in Music
The collaboration between Futureverse and Alibaba Cloud will focus on bringing cloud computing services to the Jen Music AI platform and product offerings. By combining Futureverse’s expertise in AI music solutions with Alibaba Cloud’s secure and scalable cloud computing capabilities, the aim is to further develop and set standards in high-performance AI infrastructure and security.
Futureverse used Alibaba Cloud’s Machine Learning Platform for AI (PAI) to train its text-to-music generation model JEN-1. By leveraging Alibaba Cloud’s robust and scalable infrastructure, Futureverse has been able to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of its AI model.
“We are excited to work with the team at Alibaba Cloud,” said Aaron McDonald, co-founder of Futureverse. “JEN is at the forefront of AI generative music, and having access to their advanced on-demand training infrastructure and global partner network will allow us to quickly move forward and stay at the forefront of this rapidly evolving market.”
Selina Yuan, president of International Business at Alibaba Cloud Intelligence group, expressed his excitement about the partnership, saying: “We are excited about working with Futureverse, who are at the forefront of AI generative music. We look forward to supporting more of the company’s efforts and driving ideas in generative AI in the music industry and beyond. Alibaba Cloud has enhanced our cloud computing services to meet the rising demand for generative AI, and supports our customers in building their generative AI applications to seize the unparalleled opportunities.”
Training the JEN-1 model on Alibaba Cloud’s Machine Learning Platform
In a recent one research paper Futureverse introduced the early stages of JEN. The research paper is about the advancement of music AI. It introduces JEN-1, the first version of a universal high-fidelity text-to-music generation model.
The JEN-1 Music AI Research Paper highlights an efficient approach that demonstrates higher quality results than the state-of-the-art baselines previously released by Google and Facebook, such as MusicLM and MusicGen. This indicates a major breakthrough in the generation of high-fidelity and realistic music.
Alibaba Cloud’s PAI offers powerful and easy-to-scale capabilities for various industries, along with tools to develop specific AI models. Additionally, the platform supports complex computing tasks, including basic model training and inference, with more than 140 built-in optimization algorithms for developers and enterprises.
This partnership between Futureverse and Alibaba Cloud is crucial for advancing AI in the music and entertainment industries. Together, they aim to revolutionize the AI generative music landscape, setting new standards for high-quality output and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in AI-powered music.
