MiniMax Music 3 GGUF

GGUF package for MiniMax Music 3 for audio.cpp.

Upstream model: https://huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-Music3 Upstream license: https://huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-Music3/blob/main/LICENSE

Compatible Q8 GGUF package: https://huggingface.co/joemattie/MiniMax-Music3-GGUF

Preview Notes

• The implementation is available on the preview/minimax-music-3 branch while the runtime surface is iterated quickly.
• The current runtime uses model-local resource loading instead of treating the v1 spec as the runtime contract. This keeps component selection flexible while the package layout and option surface settle.
• The default component mix now favors Q4_0 for the large language model and flow transformer, with BF16 kept for the RVQ depth decoder.
• BF16, Q4_K, and Q4_0 component variants are included for quality/performance comparison. The best package-wide component mix is still being measured.
• Longer generations such as five-minute songs are supported as long-form runs, but they are currently tuned for completion and quality checks rather than realtime throughput.
• Memory usage remains an active optimization target for larger durations and alternate component mixes.

Components

Default audio.cpp component mix:

• language_model_q4_0.gguf
• rvq_depth_decoder_bf16.gguf
• transformer_q4_0.gguf
• condition_encoder.gguf
• vocoder.gguf

The BF16, Q4_0, and Q4_K component variants are included for measurement and quality/performance comparison.

Component GGUFs can be selected explicitly for experiments:

--session-option minimax_music3.language_model_gguf=language_model_bf16.gguf
--session-option minimax_music3.language_model_gguf=language_model_q4_k.gguf
--session-option minimax_music3.rvq_depth_decoder_gguf=rvq_depth_decoder_q4_k.gguf
--session-option minimax_music3.flow_transformer_gguf=transformer_bf16.gguf
--session-option minimax_music3.flow_transformer_gguf=transformer_q4_k.gguf
