OpenAI is said to be developing an artificial intelligence tool that can create complete music songs from simple text or audio inputs. Such technology could potentially allow users to write complete songs, vocals, and instrumentals without the need for conventional production tools.
As reported by The Information, OpenAI has teamed up with students from the Juilliard School to annotate musical scores, which is intended to train the model with high-quality data. The target is to enable users to accomplish specific creative tasks, including adding a guitar accompaniment to a vocal track or creating background scores for short videos.

Could OpenAI’s next hit redefine music-making?
The competition to control AI-generated music composition has already started. Google launched its second-generation music model, Lyria, and OpenAI itself has existing exposure in the same area from previous work such as MuseNet (2019) and Jukebox (2020). Even though both efforts showed technical potential, neither became a part of ChatGPT's ecosystem.
The renewed focus on music follows the rollout of Sora, OpenAI’s video-generation platform that lets users produce short AI-generated clips. Sora’s rapid adoption after launch highlighted the growing appetite for tools that merge creativity and automation.
