In its finished state, the software is supposed to work like this:

• Users start Anthem, which act as a peer in the network
• Once they have found other peers, they connect to a master node, which coordinates the training
• All peers then train a model with their uploaded songs
• Then they generate songs from their local models
• Each user can now listen to and generate their own AI songs

Would love to hear any feedback from you guys :) Does this make the current AI situation better or worse? I could imagine it acting as a protest against AI companies (similar to what Napster did), but I’m not sure which effect it will have on smaller artists (after all, Napster basically lead to music labels coming under the hood of Apple’s ecosystem, which in the end, wasn’t so good for artists but on the other hand also brought the Fediverse into being … I’m not sure).
