What is Magenta RealTime 2?

Magenta RealTime 2 is an open-source AI model from Google's Magenta team that enables real-time, interactive music generation. It allows musicians and developers to generate and manipulate audio streams on the fly, with low latency suitable for live performance. The model builds on earlier Magenta research, focusing on making music AI responsive and controllable in real time. Based on community signals so far, it appears to be a fresh launch aimed at bridging the gap between AI music generation and live, improvisational use. The project is hosted on Google's Magenta website and represents a step toward more practical, real-world music AI tools.
