Details

  • Zyphra released ZONOS3-Mini, a compact open-source text-to-speech model with 100 million active parameters that enables real-time inference on phones, laptops, and directly in the browser.
  • The model supports 43 languages and allows voice cloning from audio samples or character design by shaping age, accent, and vocal texture.
  • Architecture utilizes a latent Mixture of Experts (MoE) backbone with 64 experts and top-2 routing, generating 15 Hz dual-codec frames rendered to 44.1 kHz audio via a causal multi-resolution iSTFT head.
  • Weights are released under Apache 2.0, with native runtimes available for NVIDIA GPUs (CUDA), Apple Silicon (MLX), CPU/GPU (C++/ggml), and WebGPU in-browser builds.
  • Inference controls include loudness, bandwidth, and speaking rate, with a context window of 32,768 positions and support for up to 10 minutes of audio per generation.
