Kunlun Tech launches the world’s first music reasoning large model Mureka O1, leading the global AI music revolution

Published

BEIJING, March 26, 2025 /CNW/ — On March 26th,  Kunlun Tech officially launches the Mureka O1 and Mureka V6 models. As the world’s first music reasoning large model, Mureka O1 outperforms Suno and achieves the State of the Art (SOTA). China’s technological innovation is leading the global AI music revolution.

In April 2024,  Mureka released the first-generation music model Mureka V1 (SkyMusic). It received an overwhelmingly positive market response.

Over the past year, our technology and product teams have been working hard to push the boundaries and refine Mureka’s capabilities. So far, users from more than 100 countries and regions around the world have accessed our AI music product—Mureka.

Mureka is a combination of “Music” and “Eureka.” Eureka is an exclamation from Greek, meaning “I have found it” or “I have discovered it,” often used to express moments of sudden inspiration. Mureka hopes that it can quickly capture people’s moments of musical inspiration and create songs in their own unique style.

Mureka V6 & O1 have been fully launched and support seamless switching

Mureka V6 is the current base model of Mureka, supporting pure music generation as well as AI music creation in ten languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, and Russian. In Mureka V6, we have introduced our self-developed ICL (In-Context Learning) technology. This advancement brings several improvements: a more expansive soundscape, enhanced vocal texture, and improved mixing design.

The Mureka O1 model is an optimized version based on Mureka V6 and is the world’s first music model to introduce CoT (chain of thought). It incorporates thinking and self-criticism in the inference process, significantly improving music quality, music creation efficiency, and flexibility.

Both Mureka V6 and O1 models support a wide range of music styles and emotional expressions, which cover Jazz, Electronic, Pop, Country, R&B, Soul, Blues, Rock, Dance, and more. The emotional dimensions include happiness, indulgence, mystery, vitality, sadness, and various other emotional expressions.

In addition, Mureka also offers two unique music generation features:

Music Reference Function: Using the music itself as a prompt, users can directly upload audio files or YouTube links as creative references.Vocal Function: Mureka is the world’s first AI music generation platform that allows users to choose the vocal timbre of the singer. Users can not only choose from a variety of official singer timbres but also upload their own voices for the AI to learn and replicate, accurately simulating the singer’s timbre and generating personalized exclusive works with a single click. The feature of customizing singer timbres heralds the arrival of the era where everyone can become an AI singer.

The launch of Mureka V6 and O1 represents a significant milestone in the technological advancement of the AI music industry. It also demonstrates the potential of AI in artistic creation and highlights the vast possibilities of continuously exploring new technological forms and artistic expressions.

Mureka O1 adopts the self-developed MusiCoT technology and achieves SOTA

Mureka O1 includes MusiCoT, Mureka’s latest innovative research in the field of music generation, which is technologically advanced and forward-looking. We found that there is very little algorithmic work in music, and only a few teams have made their work public. To address this,Mureka published the implementation principle of Mureka O1 in the form of a paper, and welcome the industry to make better work on this basis.

Mureka O1 incorporates the latest achievements in music generation from the Mureka team—MusiCoT. MusiCoT is a variant of the Chain-of-Thought (CoT) method tailored for music generation. Unlike traditional autoregressive models that generate audio step-by-step, MusiCoT pre-generates the overall music structure before finalizing the audio tokens for decoding. This approach significantly improves the structural coherence and instrumental arrangement of the generated music.

Built on the CLAP model, MusiCoT achieves high scalability without requiring manual annotations. It not only enhances the analyzability and quality of generated music, but also paves a new path for high-fidelity music generation. With MusiCoT, we usher in an era of structured music creation using AI, offering exceptional possibilities for musicians and producers.

Given to the introduction of Chain-of-Thought (CoT) technology and the upgrade of the algorithm framework, Mureka O1 not only maintains low-latency music generation but also significantly improves the lyrics accuracy, singing accuracy, and production quality. It surpassed Suno V4 in multiple metrics.

Music isn’t math. Ultimately, it’s all about what sounds good to the ear. That’s why both subjective evaluation and objective metrics are crucial. Under this philosophy, Mureka O1 excels across various aspects in our subjective assessment and ranks among the top-tier models in this category,including Mixing, Vocal Texture and Background Music Texture.

Mureka offers API service and model fine-tuning function

Mureka is the world’s first high-quality AI music generation platform with open API services. Both developers and music platforms can now seamlessly integrate Mureka’s music generation capabilities into their own products or platforms, making it easier to extend their business value with AI music capabilities.

In addition to opening up API services for the first time worldwide, Mureka synchronously opens up model fine-tuning services based on Mureka V6. Become the world’s first AI music generation platform with open model fine-tuning function.

This feature makes AI music creation more personalized, providing customized AI music solutions for musicians, producers, and even brands and game developers.In the future, the Mureka team will continue to invest in model capabilities to keep our music model in the top tier in the world, while developing more music creation functions on top of the base model, such as secondary editing of music generation, song creation, and so on.

Users around the world are welcome to log on to Mureka (www.mureka.ai) to experience the new V6&O1 model, explore the infinite possibilities of music creation with AI music creators around the world, and build an AI music developer ecosystem.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Published

By

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
