A Music Model Shipped Without a Key Piece. Strangers Built It in Five Days.
YuE2 landed last week, and what happened next is the best argument for open weights we have seen in a while. Quantised to 8 GB by day two. The missing encoder trained from scratch by a stranger on day five. A LoRA trainer the same day. One thing almost nobody is mentioning, though, and it matters if you plan to earn anything.
