About
The smaller base checkpoint of Qwen3-TTS, a streaming text-to-speech model on a 12 Hz speech tokenizer that covers 10 languages and clones a voice from a roughly 3-second reference clip.
Why it matters for physical AI
It is a recent Apache-licensed multilingual TTS small enough for edge GPUs, which matters for robots sold outside English-speaking markets.
