## Model Card

A trustremotecode packaging of bosonai/higgs-audio-v3-tts-4b that loads with plain transformers (no SGLang). The weights are the original checkpoint, copied unchanged; only a small modeling.py / configuration.py pair and an automap were added. The model is a standard Qwen3-4B backbone plus a fused multi-codebook audio embedding/head. Reference-audio encoding and waveform decoding use the transformers-native bosonai/higgs-audio-v2-tokenizer (higgsaudiov2tokenizer), loaded automatically on first use. Requires transformers >= 5.5. generatespeech returns a mono 24 kHz waveform as a CPU float32 tensor [L]. - Generation uses Higgs' delay pattern across 8 codebooks (vocab 1026, incl. BOC/EOC…

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…

MOSS-TTS-Local-Transformer-v1.5 is continued from MOSS-TTS-Local-Transformer-v1.0. It preserves the main 1.0 capabilities, including zero-shot voice cloning, long-form speech generation, token-level duration control, Pinyin/IPA pronunciation control, multilingual synthesis, and code-switching. For the full 1.0 feature walkthrough, input schema, and evaluation tables, please refer to the MOSS-TTS-Local-Transformer-v1.0 README. Compared with MOSS-TTS-Local-Transformer-v1.0, v1.5 focuses on the following improvements: - Stronger multilingual synthesis with language tags: when the language field is omitted, v1.5 may improve some languages and regress slightly on others compared with 1.0.
