ElevenLabs
Music v2.5 is ElevenLabs’ updated model for generating music for commercial use. It produces richer melodies, instruments designed to sound closer to a live take and arrangements with more depth.
According to the LinkedIn launch post, the model is available through ElevenMusic, ElevenCreative and the ElevenLabs API. Each route serves a different type of workflow, from creating individual tracks to adding music generation inside another product.
Where Music v2.5 Fits
| Product | Access | What it supports |
|---|---|---|
| ElevenMusic | Every plan, including Free | Creating and controlling generated music |
| ElevenCreative | Marketers and creative teams | Licensed music for ads, branded content and video |
| ElevenLabs API | Developers | Music generation, audio reference and inpainting |
In ElevenMusic, people control what they create with Music v2.5 across every plan. That includes the Free plan. The announcement describes the model as built for commercial use, covering the resulting melodies, instruments and arrangements.
ElevenCreative packages the model for marketers and creative teams. They can create licensed music at scale and use it to score advertising, branded content and video. This puts music production alongside the platform’s wider creative audio tools.
Developers get three functions through the ElevenLabs API: generation, audio reference and inpainting. These can be embedded directly inside their own products rather than being limited to the ElevenMusic interface.
Building Music Into a Production Workflow
Music generation covers new audio created with the model. Audio reference gives developers another input for shaping that process, while inpainting provides an editing route through the API. ElevenLabs did not provide further implementation details for those API functions in the announcement.
The three access routes mean Music v2.5 can be used as a standalone creation tool, as part of a marketing production system or as a feature inside a developer’s product. ElevenCreative specifically covers licensed output at scale for commercial media work.
Music v2.5 is available in ElevenMusic on every plan, including Free.
