ElevenLabs Music (music_v1) is a music generation model developed by ElevenLabs that produces original audio tracks from text descriptions. Users can specify a genre, mood, style, or use case in natural language, and the model generates a corresponding track with or without vocals. It supports multiple languages for vocal content, making it usable across a range of regional and stylistic contexts. The model is designed for creators who need customized background music, scored content, or vocal tracks without requiring traditional music production tools. It accepts text as its sole input type, meaning the entire creative direction is communicated through descriptive prompts. ElevenLabs Music is well-suited for video producers, game developers, content creators, and anyone needing original audio generated quickly from a written description.

MiniMax Music 2.5 is an AI music generation model developed by MiniMax and released in January 2025. It is designed to address two longstanding challenges in AI-generated music: precise structural control over song arrangement and high-fidelity audio output that closely resembles professionally recorded sound. The model supports 14 distinct structural tags — including Intro, Bridge, Interlude, Build-up, and Hook — giving users paragraph-level control over how a song is organized from start to finish. MiniMax Music 2.5 is well-suited for musicians, content creators, filmmakers, and developers who need complete, structurally defined songs without access to a recording studio. Users can generate full tracks by providing text prompts and selecting structural and stylistic options, making the workflow accessible to creators at varying levels of music production experience. The model is available through MiniMax's platform and is accessible on MindStudio without requiring separate API key setup.
