About Waveformer
Waveformer is an open-source Next.js project in a GitHub repository. It generates music from text prompts using Meta's MusicGen model and saves the result as an audio file or as a waveform video. The project calls MusicGen and an audio-to-waveform model through Replicate's API, so generation depends on that external service and requires a Replicate API token. The repository is released under the MIT license. The source does not state any pricing for usage.
