Brilliant convo between three of my favorite people in the AI music space. @dadabots have a refreshing, mind bending take on the space and Mark is the perfect host, with a deep knowledge of music, culture, tech and AI.

@samim 🔥🔥🔥

📢New MusicForComputers release: Machine Dub – by Count Slobo. 11 min of AI-generated roots dub. Think King Tubby’s ghost routed through neural nets. A synthetic prayer in bass + echo, crafted by the Machine, for the Machine. Play it loud and let Jah signal ride the wires!

Google Magenta @GoogleMagenta RealTime + music sentiment analysis + prompt block game = A twist on the lo-fi anime girl. 👉 You need to play to keep her studying. If the music gets too quiet → she falls asleep 😴 If it’s too danceable → she starts dancing 💃

new dadabots podcast out w/ @markredito such a pleasure! - prompt jockeying at the UN - livecoding w/ tidalcycles - building control into diffusion models - 22nd century music - simulating music critics - ai song contest - high-effort creating - world premiere of MF U UP 🥳

@dadabots live performances make this visible. When they generate "twinkle trap" or "ghost pepper salsa" in real-time, they're not just making new sounds. They're revealing how creativity has always worked. more on this episode: redito.substack.com/p/from-247-str…

Human music history works the same way. Genre fusion, cultural collision, artistic influence. All mirrors reflecting mirrors.

AI music is "the collective consciousness through a hall of mirrors." - @dadabots Each generated track reflects training data warped through layers of algorithmic interpretation.

@mybellalogica @BerkleeCollege @matdryhurst @hollyherndon @water_and_music So sick!

music + crypto course kicked off @BerkleeCollege last week, including obligatory nods to @matdryhurst @hollyherndon framing the cons of the uniform pay-per-stream model and @cheriehu42 @water_and_music's music tech ownership ouroboros

@opiumhum @LILINTERNET MORE OF THIS PLS

I think @LILINTERNET has outdone himself with this one soundcloud.com/newmodels/nm-p…

@raihan_ Miss u. Lets talk soon pls

@markredito Reditooooo. I wanna talk you about this !

in the back of my mind, most "anti-AI" discourse feels like this.

@NousResearch 🔥🔥🔥

Nous Research presents Hermes 4, our latest line of hybrid reasoning models. hermes4.nousresearch.com Hermes 4 builds on our legacy of user-aligned models with expanded test-time compute capabilities. Special attention was given to making the models creative and interesting to interact with, unencumbered by censorship, and neutrally aligned while maintaining state of the art level math, coding, and reasoning performance for open weight models.

@dadabots fantastic! I'm looking forward to it! Let me know if you need testers ;)

@markredito yeah LoRAs are lightweight, train faster, can be combined with other LoRAs at inference time, can set the strength (like 30% base model, 70% finetune), and also still work across the family tree of models downstream from the base model

Stable audio LoRAs working awesome. Trains in half a day on a full band's discography (~50 tracks). Puts everything into the band's style while prompting for other genres/BPMs/moods & it makes hybrid music. So much fucking fun.

@jesseengel This is so inspiring! I'm gonna play around with the notebooks you shared! And yeah, @hollyherndon @matdryhurst are true OGs!

We're thrilled to have worked with Holly Herndon to train a model finetuned on her vocal style to share with all of you. Playing with Holly’s model, you can use additional controls to get vocalizations that contour the music or "color" the instruments with a timbre that resembles Holly's voice

Realtime interactive generative models FTW! Announcing a new 🌊 of details and features for Magenta RealTime, the open weights live music AI model from GDM! * Live Jamming with audio input 🎤🎸🎵 * Personalize your own models 🔧 * Tech report 📜 Links below in the 🧵...

@karmawav This is great. Having AI embedded in a familiar tool makes so much sense.

@markredito AI as a plugin in my DAW at this current moment. I want it living where I already create, generating ideas, transforming sounds, and speeding up workflows without forcing me into a new ecosystem. Seamless, inside the session, no extra friction.

Question for musicians & music-tech folks: What's your ideal AI music workflow? AI plugins in DAWs? Native AI-DAWs? Desktop/mobile/web? Non-DAW interface? I think there's opportunity to rethink AI music workflows to be more dynamic. Thoughts?

@lmarena_ai @Kimi_Moonshot Pretty good!

🚨 BREAKING: @Kimi_Moonshot’s Kimi-K2 is now the #1 open model in the Arena! With over 3K community votes, it ranks #5 overall, overtaking DeepSeek as the top open model. Huge congrats to the Moonshot team on this impressive milestone! The leaderboard now features 7 different providers in the top 15 - the most competitive it’s ever been. More insights in the thread 🧵
