ElevenLabs 上线 Music v2.5,并把它设为 ElevenMusic 默认模型。新版本重点提升旋律、编曲层次和乐器真实感。官方让 v2 和 v2.5 用相同提示词各生成一版,做了 47,885 组盲测,v2.5 在多数对比中获胜。R&B、灵魂乐、嘻哈、摇滚、金属、管弦和电影配乐的差距最大。 而且现在授权也放宽了。Free 用户每天能下载 5 首无损歌曲,生成内容可以商用,但必须标注「Made with ElevenMusic」;Pro 每月有 400 次无损下载,不需要标注,还能把歌曲发行到流媒体平台。作品创建时拿到的权限以后不会因为降级或退订改变。基于其他艺人歌曲做改编的作品则不能下载或对外发行。 ElevenLabs 还明确表示 Music v2 不会下线。Suno 最近上线 v6,同时退役此前所有旧模型,引发不少老用户不满。HN 有用户实测后认为,v2.5 音质更好,但音乐性还是更喜欢 Suno v5。
@ElevenLabsIntroducing Music v2.5. > Richer melodies, instruments that sound closer to a live take, and more depth in arrangements, built for commercial use. > In ElevenMusic, you control what you make on every plan (including Free).
