What is Zonos-v0.1-hybrid?
Zonos-v0.1-hybrid is a cutting-edge text-to-speech model that represents a significant advancement in multilingual speech synthesis. Trained on over 200,000 hours of diverse speech data, it combines a hybrid architecture with sophisticated conditioning mechanisms to produce highly natural speech output at 44kHz quality.
Implementation Details
The model employs a two-stage architecture: initial text processing using eSpeak for normalization and phonemization, followed by DAC token prediction through a hybrid backbone. This approach enables both efficient processing and high-quality output generation.
- Supports multiple languages including English, Japanese, Chinese, French, and German
- Real-time factor of ~2x on RTX 4090 GPUs
- Requires 6GB+ VRAM on NVIDIA 3000-series or newer GPUs
- Includes comprehensive Python API and Gradio interface
Core Capabilities
- Zero-shot voice cloning from 10-30 second samples
- Audio prefix conditioning for enhanced speaker matching
- Fine-grained control over speaking rate, pitch, and audio quality
- Emotional expression control (happiness, anger, sadness, fear)
- Native 44kHz audio output
- Docker support for easy deployment
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes this model unique?
