fish-audio-s2-pro-8bit

This model is an 8-bit quantized version of fishaudio/s2-pro, quantized using mlx.nn.quantize() (group_size=64, bits=8) via scripts/quantize_fish_s2.py.

Refer to the original model card for more details on the model.

Model Overview

Fish Audio S2 Pro is a leading text-to-speech model with fine-grained inline control of prosody and emotion. Trained on 10M+ hours of audio data across 80+ languages, it combines reinforcement learning alignment with a Dual-Autoregressive architecture.

Architecture

Fine-Grained Inline Control

Localized control over speech generation using [tag] syntax with free-form textual descriptions (15,000+ supported tags):

[whisper in small voice]
[professional broadcast tone]
[pitch up]

Common Tags (15,000+ supported): [pause] [emphasis] [laughing] [inhale] [chuckle] [tsk] [singing] [excited] [volume up] [echo] [angry] [whisper] [screaming] [sad] [shocked] and many more.

Supported Languages

Tier 1 (Full Support): Japanese, English, Chinese Tier 2 (Strong Support): Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, French, German Additional: 70+ more languages

Use with mlx-audio

pip install -U mlx-audio

CLI Example:

python -m mlx_audio.tts.generate --model mlx-community/fish-audio-s2-pro-bf16 --text "Hello, this is a test."

Python Example:

from mlx_audio.tts.utils import load_model
from mlx_audio.tts.generate import generate_audio

model = load_model("mlx-community/fish-audio-s2-pro-bf16")
generate_audio(
    model=model,
    text="Hello, this is a test.",
    ref_audio="path_to_audio.wav",
    file_prefix="test_audio",
)
