Killa YuE v1.6.0 – Local AI vocal songs and P2P audio hosting on Android (A 2.0) (github.com)

Killa YuE has released version 1.6.0 of its innovative Android app, enabling users to create full vocal songs entirely on their phones. Built around the YuE2 model, the app allows users to input style and lyrics, while it utilizes the phone's GPU for song rendering. This release is significant as it claims to be the first application to successfully run the advanced YuE2 model on mobile hardware, thus broadening access to music creation and demonstrating the potential for powerful AI tools on everyday devices. The app operates on Android 9 or later and supports arm64 architecture, making it compatible with most smartphones sold since 2018. It leverages the Snapdragon 8 Elite's GPU for high-performance processing, while a fallback CPU mode ensures broader compatibility, albeit at reduced speed. The storage and memory requirements are substantial—about 10 GB combined for the model and a song—and the app allows users to manage their creations with features like sound mixing, lyric synchronization, and easy sharing among phones without needing an internet connection. The focus on keeping audio processing local enhances user privacy and offers a unique solution for on-the-go music production.
