What is Yue 2?

Yue 2 (YuE2) is a music generation model from M·A·P, with Tokenwave.AI, MBZUAI, and ACE Studio. It writes an editable symbolic score, then turns that plan into vocals and accompaniment in one model.

Search interest in the exact name was first seen in the week of 6 September 2026. The project page dates the work as research and demos from September 2026. People usually want sample songs or a place to compose. Samples live on the research site. Composition on sunov5.app uses Suno, not Yue 2 weights.

How Yue 2 builds a song

The published description is score first, audio second.

Symbolic plan

Yue 2 drafts melody, rhythm, and chords as an editable score instead of jumping straight to a waveform.

Audio performance

That score becomes semantic music tokens, acoustic latents, and a full song with vocals and accompaniment.

Cover and edit

The same model is described as supporting creation, covering, and editing, including changes to melody, lyrics, tempo, and arrangement.

Published model facts

Figures below come from the Yue 2 research page, updated 12 September 2026. This website did not re-run those tests.

Size

About 3.59 billion parameters and 28 layers. The AR and NAR experts share an attention computation and use separate normalization, projections, and MLPs.

Training

The project says the models are trained mainly on CC0 music and synthetic data. Yue 2’s reported training set is 346,000 hours. Tokenwave.AI supplies most of the synthetic data under license.

Benchmark

On WildSongBench (192 prompts, 17 settings), Yue 2 best-of-8 reaches 6.9632 on SongBench, the highest mean in that published comparison. Suno v5 scores 6.8721. Suno v6 and Suno v6 Wild score 6.5562 and 6.4195.

Yue 2 and Suno, from the published table

SongBench means on WildSongBench. Higher is the paper’s song-quality average.

Best-of-8 picks from eight generations. The other rows do not all use that budget, so one number is not a shared-protocol winner.

Where to listen, and where to compose

Yue 2 audio examples are hosted by the research project. The studio on this site is a separate Suno workflow.

Official demos

The research site plays generated songs next to their symbolic scores, plus cover and editing examples.

Not the same model

sunov5.app does not serve Yue 2 weights, and this page is not an official Yue 2 product.

Open the studio

Continue sends you to the dashboard. The prompt is passed in the URL the same way other guides on this site do, and the model is Suno V5.

3

Generate and keep the file

Create the take in the studio, then download it from your history. Credits follow the rules on the pricing page.
