Researchers have developed an AI audio generator that they claim can create sounds that have never been heard before. The new generative artificial intelligence model, called Fugatto, was built by a team at computer chip giant Nvidia who wanted to create a “Swiss Army knife for sound”.

Nvidia’s Fugatto is designed for ‘film or audio productions,’ but it can also create the sound of a saxophone howling like a dog.

Nvidia says its new AI music editor can create “sounds never heard before” — like a trumpet that meows. The tool, called Fugatto, is capable of generating music, sounds, and speech using text and audio inputs it’s never been trained on.

From meowing trumpets to barking saxophones, Nvidia’s latest AI music editor is pushing the boundaries of audio creativity.

Nvidia, known for its sophisticated computer chips, is doubling down on its artificial intelligence offerings, developing a new generative AI audio model that can “produce sounds never heard before.” The new AI model is called Fugatto,

Nvidia's new model was trained on open-source data, and the company said it is still debating whether and how to release it publicly.

At this point, anyone who has been following AI research is long familiar with generative models that can synthesize speech or melodic music from nothing but text prompting. Nvidia's newly revealed "Fugatto" model looks to go a step further,

"We wanted to create a model that understands and generates sound like humans do," said Rafael Valle, one of the researchers behind the project and a manager of applied audio research at NVIDIA. The company listed some possible real-world scenarios wherein Fugatto could be of use in its announcement.

Nvidia on Monday introduced Fugatto, a groundbreaking AI model that transforms voices and generates new sounds from text descriptions. Aimed at revolutionizing audio creation in music, film, and gaming,
