WavFlow is a research audio generation model from Meta (FAIR authors) that synthesizes audio directly in raw waveform space rather than in a compressed latent space. It uses waveform patchifying and amplitude lifting to enable stable flow matching with direct x-prediction, removing the need for a VAE or other intermediate representation.
The project page reports results on VGGSound-Test for video-text-to-audio generation and on MovieGen-Audio-Bench. WavFlow variants (M-16kHz at 624M parameters, L-16kHz, L-44.1kHz) are compared against MMAudio, HunyuanVideo-Foley, Frieren, V2A-Mapper and MovieGen Audio. According to the page, it is competitive with MMAudio on several metrics, with training on about 11.1K hours of data versus about 8.2K for MMAudio.
The material provided shows a project page, demo samples and a paper citation (arXiv 2605.18749), but no code repository, model card or download link. A YouTube reviewer noted that the full production checkpoints were not released and that a piano example sounded poor. Access and licensing are therefore unconfirmed.
