ElevenLabs released Music v2, an AI music generation model that can switch genres within a single track and build songs section-by-section. The model, trained on licensed data cleared for commercial use, can transition from opera to heavy metal, handle fast rap, and add sound effects while maintaining coherence.

ElevenLabs has launched a music marketplace where users can publish and sell tracks created with its ElevenCreative AI music model, with the company claiming to have already generated nearly 14 million songs on the platform. The company has paid out over $11 million through its Voice Marketplace using the same model. However, AI-generated music lacks legal copyright protection, leaving all legal risk on users.

Artificial Analysis has released an updated speech-to-text benchmark showing ElevenLabs and Google as top performers. The benchmark provides comparative analysis of current speech recognition systems across multiple models.
