What the additional permission does not settle
You remain responsible for rights and consent relating to your inputs, outputs and use of the model. The permission includes responsible-use conditions. It cannot grant rights in third-party recordings, lyrics or other material.
Credit on generated outputs is encouraged but is not a condition of the additional creator permission. Attribution requirements for sharing weights still apply. Read the complete model license, including its scope and conditions, for your use case.
About this guide
YuE2 Online is an independent documentation and discovery site at yue2.online. We are not the YuE2 authors and are not affiliated with M·A·P, NOIZ, ComfyUI or Suno. Model names belong to their respective owners.
Our guides link to primary documentation and distinguish the authors’ reported results from our own observations. We have not run hardware inference benchmarks. The prompt builder is a local text utility; this website does not host music generation or sell model access.
Privacy and analytics
The prompt builder runs in your browser. We do not upload or save your lyrics, style brief or exported request on our server. Your analytics preference is stored locally in this browser.
With your permission, Google Analytics 4 measures page visits, language switches, resource clicks and prompt copy/export actions. Events do not include the contents of your lyrics or prompts. Google receives the technical and usage information needed to provide its analytics service; see Google’s privacy policy.
Google Analytics stays off until you choose to allow it. You can change the preference using . Cloudflare delivers the website and may process connection data to operate and protect it. Its cookieless Web Analytics also measures site performance and traffic. Linked external services have their own policies.
