Hello all.

  
[Couple of days I have posted about my couple weeks' struggle to port Pixal3D over to Apple Silicon so I could generate pretty decent 3D models](https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1ts82da/i_ported_pixal3d_to_apple_silicon/).

Well, after that I put my sights on music generation. Yes, we do have ACE Step 1.5, but I found it lacking, especially in comparison to what Khala does (not to mention any of the cloud models like Suno or Udio). I wanted something better and luck would have it that in May we got [Khala](https://github.com/Khala-Music-AI/Khala) \- a new model made by people from Central Conservatory of Music and Tsinghua University. Problem was that it was of course entirely trained, brought up and optimized for Nvidia. Not only that, it was released as trained by Nvidia Megatron, which is this big library that optimizes training process across many GPUs. The weights had to be converted to standard PyTorch format.  
  
Fortunately the process didn't take long altogether and after a weekend I had a working setup on my machine - from backend to frontend and got the music generated as expected.  
You can read the full story [here](https://blog.chillaid.art/posts/sing-for-me).

  
The converted model weights are at [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/Vinpolar/Khala-MusicGeneration-v1.0-MPS)

The code, instructions and examples are on my [GitHub](https://github.com/pawel-mazurkiewicz/Khala-mac).

Enjoy all, and see you soon!
