MioTTS-0.6B: Lightweight & Fast LLM-based TTS
MioTTS-0.6B is a lightweight, high-speed Text-to-Speech (TTS) model based on an LLM architecture. It is designed to generate high-quality speech in English and Japanese while maintaining low latency and minimal resource usage.
This model supports zero-shot voice cloning and is built on top of the efficient neural audio codec MioCodec-25Hz-24kHz.
📊 MioTTS Family
We offer a range of model sizes to suit different performance and resource requirements.
| Model Name | Parameters | Base Model | License | RTF (Real-Time Factor) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MioTTS-0.1B | 0.1B | tiiuae/Falcon-H1-Tiny-Multilingual-100M-Base | Falcon-LLM License | 0.04 - 0.05 |
| MioTTS-0.4B | 0.4B | LiquidAI/LFM2-350M | LFM Open License v1.0 | 0.035 - 0.045 |
| MioTTS-0.6B | 0.6B | Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B-Base | Apache 2.0 | 0.055 - 0.065 |
| MioTTS-1.2B | 1.2B | LiquidAI/LFM2.5-1.2B-Base | LFM Open License v1.0 | 0.065 - 0.075 |
| MioTTS-1.7B | 1.7B | Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B-Base | Apache 2.0 | 0.10 - 0.11 |
| MioTTS-2.6B | 2.6B | LiquidAI/LFM2-2.6B | LFM Open License v1.0 | 0.135 - 0.145 |
RTF values represent the range observed when generating approximately 15 seconds of audio across multiple runs. Measured on an NVIDIA RTX 5090 using vLLM 0.15.1.
🌟 Key Features
- Lightweight & Fast: Optimized for speed, making it suitable for consumer-grade GPUs and edge deployment.
- Bilingual Support: Trained on approximately 100,000 hours of English and Japanese data.
- Voice Cloning: Supports high-fidelity zero-shot voice cloning from a short reference audio clip.
- Efficient Codec: Uses Aratako/MioCodec-25Hz-24kHz, which operates at a low framerate (25Hz) for faster generation without sacrificing quality.
🚀 Inference
We provide a dedicated repository for inference, including installation instructions and example WebUI.
