Chinese technology giant Kunlun Tech is launching what it claims is “the world’s first AI-powered music streaming platform.”

Kunlun Tech, a former investor in TikTok’s predecessor Musical.ly and parent company of web browser Opera, has launched what it calls the “world’s first AI-powered music streaming platform.” The Chinese company says its new Melodio service offers “personalized, AI-generated music streams tailored to (users’) moods and scenarios.”

Melodio allows its users to enter text prompts such as “soft melodies for morning coffee” or “energetic music for a long car ride” to “instantly create a customized music stream that fits the occasion.”

“With endless streams of personalized music in real time, Melodio caters to users’ every mood and situation, allowing them to change their prompts on the fly, switch between generated lyrics, and save or share their favorite moments for a truly transformative listening experience,” says Kunlun.

In addition to the AI ​​streaming service, Kunlun has also launched an AI music creation platform called Mureka, which Kunlun says “enables music lovers and professional artists to create and monetize their AI-generated music.” Users can even sell their AI music through the Mureka Store, which Kunlun says allows artists to “explore new business models for AIGC.”

On Mureka’s “Create” page, users can “enter lyrics, reference tracks, and control music styles using the Style feature.” The company claims that Mureka’s AI music “provides unprecedented stability and controllability, allowing users to fine-tune sections such as intros, verses, choruses, bridges, and outros with ease.”

Both products, the Melodio streaming service and the Mureka music generator, are based on Kunlun’s AI music generation large language model called SkyMusic 2.0. The company claims SkyMusic 2.0 is “the industry’s first AI music model capable of consistently and stably generating an endless music feed in specific styles.”

SkyMusic was the first “commercial AI composition model in China,” which Kunlun said can process lyrics of more than 500 words and produce 6-minute 4400Hz two-channel stereo AI songs. It supports 31 languages, including Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean and French, and allows lyrics to be generated from melodies and text sources. Notably, Kunlun has not disclosed the data used to train its AI models.

The tech giant, with a market value of $4.8 billion (34.49 billion Chinese yuan), has an average monthly active user base of nearly 400 million across “AGI, AIGC, content distribution, metaverse, social entertainment and gaming.” Last summer, the company’s Star Group Interactive division acquired a stake in AI company Singularity AI in a deal valued at $160 million. Following that acquisition, Kunlun pumped $400 million into its Star Group division.
