YuE2 GGUF

Pre-quantized GGUF models for yue2.cpp, a portable C++17 implementation of YuE2 song generation using GGML.

Style tags and lyrics in, stereo 48kHz audio out, with the ABC score the model composed on the way. Runs on CPU, CUDA, Vulkan.

Quick start

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ServeurpersoCom/yue2.cpp
cd yue2.cpp

pip install hf
./models.sh           # downloads the Q8_0 set (~4.4 GB)

mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DGGML_CUDA=ON
cmake --build . --config Release -j$(nproc)
cd ..

./build/yue-server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8087 \
    --model models/YuE2-3B-Q8_0.gguf \
    --vae models/YuE2-Vae-F32.gguf

Open http://localhost:8087 in your browser. The embedded WebUI handles everything: write style tags and lyrics, generate, read the score the model wrote, play and download tracks.

CLI tools (without the server)
# full pipeline: score, semantic codes, flow matching, VAE
./build/yue-synth \
    --model models/YuE2-3B-Q8_0.gguf \
    --vae models/YuE2-Vae-F32.gguf \
    --style style.txt \
    --lyrics lyrics.txt \
    --out song.mp3

# symbolic stage alone: the ABC score the model intends to play
./build/yue-plan \
    --model models/YuE2-3B-Q8_0.gguf \
    --style style.txt \
    --lyrics lyrics.txt \
    --out score.abc

One file holds two complete transformers sharing their attention: the autoregressive half writes the score then the semantic codes, the non-autoregressive half renders them by flow matching. Q8_0 is near lossless and is what the scripts load. No Q4: an audio code LM breaks below Q5.

VAE

File Quant Size
YuE2-Vae-F32.gguf F32 530 MB

Oobleck SnakeBeta decoder, 48 kHz stereo, 1920x upsample. Never quantized: its weights are the audio.

The converter keeps the native dtype of the source byte for byte, so no dtype exists in a GGUF that does not exist in the checkpoint.

Pipeline

Style tags + lyrics
        v
backbone, autoregressive path     ABC score, then semantic codes at 25 Hz
        v KV cache, read not rebuilt
backbone, flow matching path      midpoint ODE on 64 channel latents
        v
Oobleck VAE decoder               1920x upsample -> 48 kHz stereo

The two halves share one KV cache: the flow matching side reads what the autoregressive side just wrote, so it never pays a prefill of its own. The ABC score is the white box of the pipeline: read it, edit a chord or a bar, hand it back, and the model realizes your version instead of writing a new one.
