the cover artist just went ai. minimax's music 2.6, out oct 10, doesn't just compose from scratch — it takes an existing track and reworks it into a new version.
the remix now runs on a model.
Context
Verified event date: MiniMax released Music 2.6 on Apr 10, 2026, adding a Cover feature that extracts a song's melodic skeleton and lets creators rebuild everything around it (MiniMax news and Creative AI News, Apr 10).
MiniMax says you can flip the genre, swap instruments and keep the melody while rewriting the lyrics.
The cover and remix capability matches MiniMax's own post. The post says 'out oct 10'; the release read is dated Apr 10, 2026, so the month is wrong. 'Reworks it into a new version' fits the Cover description.
'the cover artist just went ai' is the author's opinion.
