OpenAI is reportedly preparing to introduce a new artificial intelligence tool that can generate complete music tracks using simple text or audio prompts. The tool aims to let users create songs from scratch, from vocals to instruments, directly through AI-generated composition, El.kz reports citing hindustantimes.com.
According to The Information, OpenAI is working with students from the Juilliard School to annotate music scores, helping the company train its model with high-quality data. The project seeks to enable users to perform tasks like adding guitar accompaniment to a recorded vocal or composing background scores for videos.
This initiative aligns with OpenAI’s broader plan to diversify its offerings beyond ChatGPT, which now serves more than 800 million users. The company seems to be exploring new creative and commercial opportunities, such as helping advertisers produce jingles or content creators generate soundtracks.
OpenAI is not alone in this space. Google has already introduced its second-generation AI music model, Lyria. OpenAI itself has prior experience in this field with MuseNet (2019) and Jukebox (2020), though neither was integrated into ChatGPT. The renewed focus on music follows the release of OpenAI’s video-generation app, Sora, which allows users to produce AI-generated videos. Sora reportedly saw more than a million downloads within days of launch, which shows the growing demand for creative AI tools.
If launched successfully, OpenAI’s upcoming music tool could simplify music production for a wide range of users, from musicians and editors to educators and students. It may also support professionals seeking new methods of composition and production without relying on traditional instruments or software.
Meanwhile, Sora’s head, Bill Peebles, shared an update about new features coming to the video platform. The advancements include options to generate character cameos, such as pets or AI-created figures, and an updated interface that highlights trending creations. These developments suggest OpenAI is steadily building a suite of tools focused on creative expression through artificial intelligence.
