Original Summary

👋 I built Silens as a personal side project. I wanted to see how far open-source music models have come compared to closed platforms like Suno or Udio, and whether it was possible to create a full, end-to-end studio experience - lyrics, arrangement, vocal synthesis, and mixing on a completely serverless, zero-maintenance stack. It’s live now, and you can try it here: https://silens.ai The Tech Stack I designed the architecture to be as lightweight and cost-effective as possible, so it wouldn't incur huge hosting bills while idle: Frontend: Next.js (static export) hosted on Cloudflare Pages Backend / Edge API: Cloudflare Workers handles auth, rate limiting, job dispatching, and API routes Database & Storage: Cloudflare D1 (serverless SQLite) for songs/user metadata, and Cloudflare R2 for streaming audio files Prompt & Lyrics AI: Cloudflare Workers AI (Llama models) for structured prompt analysis and lyrics generation Audio Inference Engine: Modal running serverless GPU containers (T4 / A10G) Open-weights models: ACE-Step 1.5 for vocal synthesis/singing and MusicGen for instrumental arrangements Because Modal spins up on demand and shuts down to zero when idle, the generous free tiers across Modal and Cloudflare allow it to generate up to ~3,000 songs/month essentially for free. My Dilemma I’m starting a demanding full-time job soon and won't have much bandwidth to actively develop, market, or maintain this solo. Rather than letting the code gather dust or shutting it down, I’m trying to figure out the right path forward: 1. Keep it running as a free community sandbox Let people generate music within the free limits until the credits run out, and keep it alive primarily as a portfolio/showcase project. 2. Open source & find co-maintainers Open up the repository and find 1–2 collaborators who are excited about open-weight audio models, React/Next.js, and serverless GPU pipelines. 3. Micro-hosting / "Circle of Trust" tool Package it so musicians, producers, or indie collectives can one-click self-host their own instance. Their audio, stems, prompts, and lyrics would stay in their own private storage rather than being uploaded to a commercial music platform. What I’d love from you 1. Test it out Jump onto https://silens.ai and try generating a song. Try different genres, instruments, or lyrics. Let me know what sounds great, what feels clunky, and where the UI/flow could improve. 2. Advice If you’ve ever launched a passion project right before stepping into an intense job, how did you handle it? Did you find partners, open-source it, pivot, or just let it run? Thanks for checking it out! I’ll be hanging out in the comments answering questions about the stack, models, latency, or serverless setup. https://reddit.com/link/1whidzx/video/avu0g1j47sph1/player   submitted by   /u/Fit_Firefighter7273 [link]   [comments]
