Story

2,823 stars, Apache-2.0, three releases across two days. It wraps the open Demucs htdemucs_6s model to split vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and other, auto-selecting CUDA, MPS or CPU, then opens a browser multitrack mixer for solo, loop and per-stem export. Built by one developer, Thales Claro, so his kid could practice drums without a Moises or LALAL.AI subscription. Clean example of a local-first replacement for a paid cloud AI service, and the reason it exists is better than most product strategies. (GitHub)
