Model reference · open weights
MERT-public is an open-weight embedding model from m-a-p. AxForge deploys and operates it for you on dedicated EU-owned hardware — with the licence handled where one is required.
Available as managed deployment — configured and operated for you on dedicated EU hardware, quoted per deployment.

The m-a-p models share the similar model architecture and the most distinguished difference is the paradigm in used pre-training. Other than that, there are several nuance technical configuration needs to know before using:
MERT-v0-public is a completely unsupervised model trained on completely non-comercial open-source Music4All dataset and the part of FMA_full dataset that does not include tag "experimental".
The training settings and model usage of MERT-v0-public can be referred to the MERT-v0 model.
Details are reported at the short article Large-Scale Pretrained Model for Self-Supervised Music Audio Representation Learning.

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys mert-public for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (mert-public below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/embeddings \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
