speech-generation

Mistral AI released Voxtral TTS, an open-source text-to-speech model designed for enterprise voice agents and edge devices. The model supports nine languages, adapts custom voices from samples under five seconds, and achieves 90ms time-to-first-audio latency with a 6x real-time factor.

Hume AI has open-sourced TADA, a speech generation model that maps exactly one audio signal to each text token, achieving 5x faster processing than comparable systems. The model produced zero transcription hallucinations across 1,000+ test samples and runs on smartphones, available in 1B and 3B parameter versions under MIT license.
