MiniMax stopped taking new users for its music API on 20 August 2026. This one takes you now.
If you came looking for MiniMax Music 3 and hit a wall, here is what happened: on 20 August 2026 MiniMax closed its paid Music Generation and Lyrics Generation APIs to new users. Accounts that were already paying keep working; new ones cannot be created. The model itself is not gone - the Music 3 weights are published on Hugging Face under a community licence that allows commercial use with attribution, so self-hosting is still a route in. What is gone is the easy one. Rapper is not MiniMax and does not run its model: it generates with ACE-Step, in your browser, for free. Describe a song, get a full track with vocals in about a minute, and download the MP3.
Tell Rapper what you want — a chill lo-fi beat, an epic orchestral score, a punk anthem about your cat. Use plain words, any language. The weirder, the better.
Rapper's AI composes full lyrics and a music description based on your prompt. Review everything, tweak the words, adjust the vibe — or rewrite from scratch. It's your song.
Set the duration (30s to 3 min), BPM, key and time signature — or just leave the defaults and let Rapper handle it.
Since 20 August 2026 MiniMax's paid music and lyrics APIs are closed to new users. Existing paying customers still have access - nobody else can sign up for one.
MiniMax-Music3 is on Hugging Face under a community licence permitting commercial use with attribution, with a separate agreement required above US$20M yearly revenue. Running it yourself is the way to use that model now.
Rapper runs ACE-Step, not MiniMax. No account, no credit card, no watermark on the file - a full song with vocals or instrumental, downloadable as MP3.
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Rapper generates with ACE-Step. This page exists because MiniMax's music API stopped accepting new users and people arriving from that search need somewhere that works today.
MiniMax's own documentation states that from 20 August 2026 the paid Music Generation and Lyrics Generation APIs are no longer available to new users. Customers who were already paying can carry on using them.
Yes - by running it yourself. The weights are published on Hugging Face as MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-Music3 under a community licence that allows commercial use with attribution. You need a GPU and the patience to set it up; tooling for the model is still young.
ACE-Step is Apache 2.0 and built for speed - a full song in about a minute rather than several. MiniMax Music 3 aims at longer, more finely arranged songs. If arrangement detail matters more than turnaround, self-hosting theirs is worth the setup.
Nothing, and yes. No account and no card to generate, and the MP3 downloads with no audio watermark or spoken tag over it. Check your platform's own rules for AI-generated music before monetising.
