musegpt is a VST3 plugin I developed that brings local LLM inference into Digital Audio Workstations. It solves a problem for music producers who want AI assistance without cloud services, internet connectivity, or sharing sensitive creative work.
The plugin runs entirely on your machine using llama.cpp. Your music and prompts never leave your computer. No internet is required once models are downloaded, and it works as a standard VST3 plugin in any compatible DAW with any GGUF format models.
I built it with C++ and JUCE. The project is now archived, but it demonstrated the feasibility of running sophisticated AI models directly within creative tools.
