An Open Model Just Claimed a Higher Song-Quality Score Than Suno v6 — and It Shows You the Score Before It Renders
M-A-P released YuE2-3B on September 9 — an open-weights song generation model built around 'white-box' symbolic planning. It writes a composition you can read, play, and change before any audio is rendered, handles zero-shot covers and agentic editing from the same checkpoint, and scores 6.9632 on WildSongBench at best-of-8 against Suno v6's 6.5562. That benchmark is M-A-P's own, which is worth holding in mind.
