At this point, anyone who has been following AI research is long familiar with generative models that can synthesize speech or melodic music from nothing but text prompting. Nvidia's newly revealed "Fugatto" model looks to go a step further,

Graphics and AI giant NVIDIA has announced a new AI model called Fugatto (short for Foundational Generative Audio Transformer Opus 1). Developed by an international team of researchers. It is being billed as "the world’s most flexible sound machine" taking on ElevenLabs and AI music maker Suno in one hit.

Nvidia's new model was trained on open-source data, and the company said it is still debating whether and how to release it publicly.
