VoxCPM2

VoxCPM2 is a tokenizer-free, diffusion autoregressive Text-to-Speech model — 2B parameters, 30 languages, 48kHz audio output, trained on over 2 million hours of multilingual speech data.

Highlights

• 30-Language Multilingual — No language tag needed; input text in any supported language directly
• Voice Design — Generate a novel voice from a natural-language description alone (gender, age, tone, emotion, pace…); no reference audio required
• Controllable Cloning — Clone any voice from a short clip, with optional style guidance to steer emotion, pace, and expression while preserving timbre
• Ultimate Cloning — Provide reference audio + its transcript for audio-continuation cloning; every vocal nuance faithfully reproduced
• 48kHz Studio-Quality Output — Accepts 16kHz reference; outputs 48kHz via AudioVAE V2's built-in super-resolution, no external upsampler needed
• Context-Aware Synthesis — Automatically infers appropriate prosody and expressiveness from text content
• Real-Time Streaming — RTF as low as ~0.3 on NVIDIA RTX 4090, and ~0.13 accelerated by Nano-VLLM
• Fully Open-Source & Commercial-Ready — Apache-2.0 license, free for commercial use

Quick Start

Installation

pip install voxcpm

Requirements: Python ≥ 3.10, PyTorch ≥ 2.5.0, CUDA ≥ 12.0 · Full Quick Start →

Text-to-Speech

from voxcpm import VoxCPM
import soundfile as sf

model = VoxCPM.from_pretrained("openbmb/VoxCPM2", load_denoiser=False)

wav = model.generate(
    text="VoxCPM2 brings multilingual support, creative voice design, and controllable voice cloning.",
    cfg_value=2.0,
    inference_timesteps=10,
)
sf.write("output.wav", wav, model.tts_model.sample_rate)

Voice Design

Put the voice description in parentheses at the start of text, followed by the content to synthesize:

wav = model.generate(
    text="(A young woman, gentle and sweet voice)Hello, welcome to VoxCPM2!",
    cfg_value=2.0,
    inference_timesteps=10,
)
sf.write("voice_design.wav", wav, model.tts_model.sample_rate)

Controllable Voice Cloning

# Basic cloning
wav = model.generate(
    text="This is a cloned voice generated by VoxCPM2.",
    reference_wav_path="speaker.wav",
)
sf.write("clone.wav", wav, model.tts_model.sample_rate)

# Cloning with style control
wav = model.generate(
    text="(slightly faster, cheerful tone)This is a cloned voice with style control.",
    reference_wav_path="speaker.wav",
    cfg_value=2.0,
    inference_timesteps=10,
)
sf.write("controllable_clone.wav", wav, model.tts_model.sample_rate)

Ultimate Cloning

Provide both the reference audio and its exact transcript for maximum fidelity. Pass the same clip to both reference_wav_path and prompt_wav_path for highest similarity:

wav = model.generate(
    text="This is an ultimate cloning demonstration using VoxCPM2.",
    prompt_wav_path="speaker_reference.wav",
    prompt_text="The transcript of the reference audio.",
    reference_wav_path="speaker_reference.wav",
)
sf.write("hifi_clone.wav", wav, model.tts_model.sample_rate)

Streaming

import numpy as np

chunks = []
for chunk in model.generate_streaming(text="Streaming is easy with VoxCPM!"):
    chunks.append(chunk)
wav = np.concatenate(chunks)
sf.write("streaming.wav", wav, model.tts_model.sample_rate)

Model Details

Performance

VoxCPM2 achieves state-of-the-art or competitive results on major zero-shot and controllable TTS benchmarks.

See the GitHub repo for full benchmark tables (Seed-TTS-eval, CV3-eval, InstructTTSEval, MiniMax Multilingual Test).

Fine-tuning

VoxCPM2 supports both full SFT and LoRA fine-tuning with as little as 5–10 minutes of audio:

# LoRA fine-tuning (recommended)
python scripts/train_voxcpm_finetune.py \
    --config_path conf/voxcpm_v2/voxcpm_finetune_lora.yaml

# Full fine-tuning
python scripts/train_voxcpm_finetune.py \
    --config_path conf/voxcpm_v2/voxcpm_finetune_all.yaml

See the Fine-tuning Guide for full instructions.

Limitations

• Voice Design and Style Control results may vary between runs; generating 1–3 times is recommended to obtain the desired output.
• Performance varies across languages depending on training data availability.
• Occasional instability may occur with very long or highly expressive inputs.
• Strictly forbidden to use for impersonation, fraud, or disinformation. AI-generated content should be clearly labeled.
