Not bad! It's about as coherent as background music needs to be, at least in the typical Lo-Fi beats context.

I don't have access to Sonauto. I wish I could ask them what the compute requirements are for this. How much energy does it take to produce 1 hour?

Thanks! It's actually all generated by a single RTX 3090 (so constant ~250 watts). It runs at about 0.8X realtime. The Sonauto web app uses serverless A10Gs, though.

It's obviously not at the quality level of human producers, but I found it surprisingly listenable. The setup is basically just streaming MusicGen songs to AzuraCast with the Multi-Band Diffusion decoder.

This was buried a few days ago with no discussion so I'm posting it again. Lmk if that's discouraged.
