Research-only music models
6 in the catalogue today, and the list grows as the market does. Every one with what it costs, who sells it and where it stands.
Models that compose and render music from a description. They are priced per generation or per second of audio rather than per token. The question that decides whether you can use one commercially is not the price but the terms: makers differ sharply on who owns the output and whether it may be sold, and that is on the maker's page, not in the rate card.
Weights published for research and explicitly not for selling. They are here because they exist, are often excellent, and are worth knowing about — and because the cheapest way to learn this is not after you have shipped. If a model on this list is what you want, the maker will usually license it commercially on request; that is a conversation, not a download.
