+# M<sup>2</sup>UGen Model with MusicGen-small
+
+The M<sup>2</sup>UGen model is a Music Understanding and Generation model that is capable of Music Question Answering and also Music Generation 
+from texts, images, videos and audios, as well as Music Editing. The model utilizes encoders such as MERT for music understanding, ViT for image understanding 
+and ViViT for video understanding and the MusicGen/AudioLDM2 model as the music generation model (music decoder), coupled with adapters and the LLaMA 2 model 
+to make the model possible for multiple abilities. 
+
+M<sup>2</sup>UGen was published in [M<sup>2</sup>UGen: Multi-modal Music Understanding and Generation with the Power of Large Language Models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.11255) by *Atin Sakkeer Hussain, Shansong Liu, Chenshuo Sun and Ying Shan*.
+
+The code repository for the model is published in [crypto-code/M2UGen](https://github.com/crypto-code/M2UGen). Clone the repository, download the checkpoint and run the following for a model demo:
+```bash
+python gradio_app.py --model ./ckpts/M2UGen-AudioLDM2/checkpoint.pth --llama_dir ./ckpts/LLaMA-2 --music_decoder musicgen --music_decoder_path facebook/musicgen-small
+```
