Magenta RealTime 2: Open and Local Live Music Models (magenta.withgoogle.com) AI

Google’s Magenta team has released Magenta RealTime 2, an open-weights (2.4B-parameter) low-latency music model that can generate audio on a laptop in real time and be controlled via MIDI and audio (as well as text), with about ~15x lower latency than the prior version. The release includes a Python library (magenta-rt) and a C++/MLX inference engine for Apple Silicon, plus example standalone apps and DAW-oriented plugins and instruments built on the model.
