Check our open-source repository https://github.com/boson-ai/higgs-audio for more details! We are open-sourcing Higgs TTS 2, a powerful audio foundation model pretrained on over 10 million hours of audio data and a diverse set of text data. Despite having no post-training or fine-tuning, Higgs TTS 2 excels in expressive audio generation, thanks to its deep language and acoustic understanding. On EmergentTTS-Eval, the model achieves win rates of 75.7% and 55.7% over "gpt-4o-mini-tts" on the "Emotions" and "Questions" categories, respectively. It also obtains state-of-the-art performance on traditional TTS benchmarks like Seed-TTS Eval and Emotional Speech Dataset (ESD). Moreover, the model…

Higgs TTS 3 is built for voice chat: it speaks, not just reads. It turns model responses into expressive conversational speech across 100+ languages, with zero-shot voice cloning and inline control over emotion, style, prosody, pauses, and sound effects. Higgs autoregressive decoder consumes interleaved text and audio tokens. Audio is encoded by the Higgs Tokenizer into 8 codebooks at 25 fps, staggered via a delay pattern, then mapped to backbone hidden states through a multi-codebook fused embedding. Output codes pass through a multi-codebook fused head, are de-delayed, and decoded back to waveform. The model reaches single-digit WER/CER on 102 languages, which split into · Chichewa/Nyanja…
