YuE2 3B isolated quality test

Prepared, non-starting evaluation of m-a-p/YuE2-3B with the standard m-a-p/YuE2-Vae listening decoder. The source is pinned to the official yue2-v0.1.6 commit 9c6c4b349be978b06a9d0d958471a07a6cdeff4d.

Preparation on Athena is complete. The model and VAE files were checked against their published weights_manifest.json SHA-256 values. The Docker image is built, but no YuE2 container has been created or started.

Safety and isolation

• This experiment is not part of the profile controller or dashboard.
• The Compose service uses the manual profile, has no restart policy and cannot start through an ordinary docker compose up.
• Only the RTX 5080 is exposed to the container.
• Building and downloading do not load the model or use a GPU.
• Do not start it while another Athena GPU job is active.

The initial control request is a true empty-lyrics instrumental request. No invented [Instrumental] lyrics marker is used.

Manual test (only after GPU availability was checked)

From /opt/mike-ai/yue2-3b on Athena:

docker compose --profile manual run --rm yue2-test generate \
  --offline \
  --device cuda:0 \
  --budget 16 \
  --request /workspace/requests/instrumental-synthwave.json \
  --output /workspace/runs

Start with the official unquantized BF16 path. If and only if this fails from VRAM pressure, repeat with --quantization fp8 --offload-ar; keep the outputs separate because that is a different inference configuration.

YuE2 is newly released and officially specifies a 24-GB BF16 GPU. Readiness of this image and the downloaded weights is not evidence that the 16-GB RTX 5080 run will fit or that its audio quality is acceptable.
