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 advancements in the breakthrough technology offered by Futureverse’s JEN AI for the future of AI in the music and entertainment industry.
Futureverse and Alibaba Cloud Partnership for AI in Music
The partnership between Futureverse and Alibaba Cloud will focus on bringing cloud computing services to the Jen Music AI platform and product offering. By combining Futureverse’s expertise in AI music solutions with Alibaba Cloud’s secure and scalable cloud computing capabilities, the aim is to develop further and set standards for high-performance AI infrastructure and security.
Futureverse has utilised Alibaba Cloud’s Machine Learning Platform for AI (PAI) to train its text-to-music generation model JEN-1. Leveraging the robust and scalable infrastructure of Alibaba Cloud has allowed Futureverse to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of its AI model.
“We are excited to be working with the team at Alibaba Cloud,” says Futureverse co-founder Aaron McDonald. “JEN is at the forefront of AI generative music, and having access to their advanced on-demand training infrastructure and global partner network enables us to move fast and stay ahead in this rapidly evolving market.”
Selina Yuan, President of International Business at Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Group, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “We are excited about the collaboration with Futureverse, who is at the forefront of AI generative music. We look forward to supporting more of the company’s efforts and sparking ideas in generative AI in the music industry and beyond. Alibaba Cloud has been enhancing our cloud computing services to cater to the surging demand on generative AI, supporting our customers to build their generative AI applications to seize the unparalleled opportunities.”
Training JEN-1 Model on Alibaba Cloud’s Machine Learning Platform
In a recent research paper by Futureverse, the early stages of JEN were introduced. The research paper covers the advancement of music AI. It introduces JEN-1, the first version of a universal high-fidelity model for text-to-music generation.
The JEN-1 Music AI Research Paper highlights an efficient approach demonstrating higher-quality outputs than the state-of-the-art baselines previously released by Google and Facebook, such as MusicLM and MusicGen. This indicates a significant breakthrough in the generation of high-fidelity and realistic music.
Alibaba Cloud’s PAI provides high-performance and easy-to-scale capabilities for various industries, along with tools to develop specific AI models. Furthermore, the platform offers support for complex computing tasks, including foundation model training and inference, with over 140 built-in optimization algorithms for developers and enterprises.
This partnership between Futureverse and Alibaba Cloud is crucial in advancing AI in the music and entertainment industry. Together, they aim to revolutionize the AI generative music landscape, setting new standards for high-quality outputs and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in AI-powered music.
