MiniMax Music 3 training tournament

A central comparison of 5 MiniMax Music 3 language-model LoRA tournaments. The previous campaigns are preserved below, followed by the Caption v2 training-window and singer-tag comparisons. Tournament and prompt sections are collapsed so individual audio comparisons can be opened as needed.

The card cross-links 2,144 existing FLAC renders from the source model repositories; it does not duplicate the audio. Each comparison holds its lyrics, caption conditions, LoRA-strength sweep, and random stream constant within that tournament.

Evaluation lyrics

The original comparison lyrics are shared by the first four tournaments. The latest singer-tag comparison uses its own section-assigned lyric sheet.

Show lyrics
[Intro]
Count the teeth in the traffic light
Paint the silence ultraviolet

[Verse 1]
Paper crowns on the factory floor
Everybody wants a little more
Wind-up prophets in a checkout line
Selling borrowed seconds back as time

[Pre-Chorus]
Turn the dial, divide the sky
Ask the wires to tell us why

[Chorus]
Wake up the walls, let the ceiling shake
We built a feast from a plastic lake
Hands in the air while the engines stall
Who signed the order to swallow it all?

[Verse 2]
Velvet sirens in the avenue
Paint every warning a pleasant blue
I fed my shadow to the voting machine
It came back polished, quiet, and clean

[Bridge]
Softly, softly, count to four
Kick down the arithmetic door
One for the hunger, two for the show
Three for the ones who already know

[Final Chorus]
Wake up the walls, let the ceiling shake
We built a feast from a plastic lake
Hands in the air while the engines stall
Who signed the order to swallow it all?

[Outro]
Count the teeth
Kill the light
Carry the silence
Into the night

[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]
Why don't you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square?
Was fashion the reason why they were there?
They disguise it, hypnotize it
Television made you buy it

[Chorus: Daron Malakian]
I'm just sitting in my car and
Waiting for my

[Verse 2: Daron Malakian]
She is scared that I will take her away from there
Dreams and her country left with no one there
Mesmerized, the signal bends the truth
The broadcast paints a blindfold on the youth

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]
I'm still waiting by the dashboard
Watching for the signal
I'm still waiting by the dashboard
Waiting for my girl

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Daron Malakian]
I'm still waiting by the dashboard
Waiting for my girl
I'm still waiting by the dashboard
Waiting for my girl

Inference notes

The four LoRA strengths were evaluated in one batched pass with a shared random stream. NextLat's predictor and XM's route embeddings are auxiliary training modules and were not used at inference. The generated audio remains hosted in the source model repositories linked above.
