## Model Overview

TangoFlux consists of FluxTransformer blocks which are Diffusion Transformer (DiT) and Multimodal Diffusion Transformer (MMDiT), conditioned on textual prompt and duration embedding to generate audio at 44.1kHz up to 30 seconds. TangoFlux learns a rectified flow trajectory from audio latent representation encoded by a variational autoencoder (VAE). The TangoFlux training pipeline consists of three stages: pre-training, fine-tuning, and preference optimization. TangoFlux is aligned via CRPO which iteratively generates new synthetic data and constructs preference pairs to perform preference optimization.


## Getting Started
Get TangoFlux from our GitHub repo https://github.com/declare-lab/TangoFlux with
```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/declare-lab/TangoFlux
```

The model will be automatically downloaded and saved in a cache. The subsequent runs will load the model directly from the cache.

The `generate` function uses 25 steps by default to sample from the flow model. We recommend using 50 steps for generating better quality audios. This comes at the cost of increased run-time.

```python
import torchaudio
from tangoflux import TangoFluxInference
from IPython.display import Audio

model = TangoFluxInference(name='declare-lab/TangoFlux')
audio = model.generate('Hammer slowly hitting the wooden table', steps=50, duration=10)

Audio(data=audio, rate=44100)
```
