YuE2, a new open-source music generation model, has been released with claims it lands somewhere between Suno 4.5 and 5.5 in quality, beating Mureka v9 and MiniMax 3 on various benchmarks.

If real-world tests hold up, YuE2 would bring locally hostable music generation close to Suno's latest closed models—significant for creators wanting self-hosted, subscription-free music generation. Audio samples and benchmark details still need independent verification.
