The backstory
LALAL.AI separates songs into vocal and instrument stems and sells processing minutes. Meta's open-source Demucs performs high-quality stem separation for free, and it is bundled into many free tools and apps. When the underlying model is open and freely runnable, paying per minute is hard to justify for many users. Because a free open model does the core job, it is killed.
