The Higgs-TTS-2-3B-base Model: A Text-to-Speech Foundation Model
SMRTR summary
Bosonai's higgs-TTS-2-3B-base is a 5.8-billion-parameter text-to-speech AI model trained on over 10 million hours of audio, capable of generating emotionally expressive, natural-sounding speech. It outperforms GPT-4o on emotional speech benchmarks with a 75.7% win rate, and uniquely handles multi-speaker dialogue, voice cloning across 100+ languages, and simultaneous speech with background music — all without fine-tuning. However, it requires at least 12GB of VRAM and is restricted to research use only.
