Ask HN: Consumer grade hardware AI sound / music generation models

1 utopman 0 8/2/2025, 3:03:06 PM

Hi folks,

I look for some open / free to use (commercial products) generated sound / music AI generation tool that I can run locally on common consummer hardware. I would like to iterate faster on prototyping apps / games without the hassle of searching / currating / cropping / transcoding audio media content.

I do not always need high quality content and do not want to mind if I forgot update media with copyright issues in my dev workflows before publishing.

Nothing very serious though, I just explore simple game dev at the moment and want to focus on game concepts instead of media content management.

any link / suggestion (it could be a 2 steps cli to search -> download from a free sound / music bank) welcome.
