Qwen-Music技术报告：支持文本生成与翻唱的音乐模型

In this report, we introduce Qwen-Music, a powerful music generation model capable of producing highly musical and high-fidelity songs with complete vocal singing. Qwen-Music supports two core tasks: Text to Music Generation, which create entirely new songs from text descriptions, lyrics, and musical attributes, and Cover Song Generation, which reinterprets existing songs with different styles and vocal characteristics. Architecturally, Qwen-Music integrates three core components: Qwen-Music-Tokenizer, Qwen-Music-LLM, and Qwen-Music-Render. Qwen-Music-Tokenizer compresses audio into a 25 Hz single-codebook stream of Music Semantic Tokens that preserve semantic and melodic information for LLM prediction. Based on these tokens, Qwen-Music-LLM performs autoregressive music semantic modeling, with a key novelty being a melody-token-based chain-of-thought (Melody-CoT) mechanism that plans melodies before full-song generation, improving creativity, musicality, structural coherence, and reference-audio-based melody cloning. To overcome the fidelity limitations of discrete semantic tokens, Qwen-Music-Render performs generative stereo rendering, enriching acoustic details and producing high-fidelity stereo waveforms. Finally, we train Qwen-Music-LLM on more than 5 million hours of multilingual music data covering hundreds of languages. We first apply quality-aware pre-training curriculum, then use progressive post-training, comprising supervised initialization, offline DPO, and online GSPO, to further improve musicality and instruction-following ability. Across 600 Chinese and English prompts, Qwen-Music achieves state-of-the-art results in 13 of 16 objective musicality and audio-quality metrics. Professional evaluators also prefer Qwen-Music over leading proprietary systems. For cover song generation, Qwen-Music preserves reference melodies more accurately than leading proprietary systems.
