Tencent Hunyuan open-sources Hy-SimulMT for real-time Chinese-English speech translation
Overview
Tencent Hunyuan has open-sourced Hy-SimulMT, a 30B-A3B model that translates Chinese and English speech into the other language while the speaker is still talking, under an Apache 2.0 license on Hugging Face, ModelScope and GitHub.
Tencent reports about 3 seconds of latency on the RealSI benchmark using the StreamLAAL metric, which the project says is not the same as time to first translated speech. Tencent also says the model supports real-time voice cloning and outperforms most open-source models and commercial APIs; these claims are Tencent's and have not been independently verified. ModelScope says it had the lowest StreamLAAL among compared systems in the RealSI long-form evaluation and beat four of five commercial APIs on GEMBA quality. Speech output and voice cloning require a configured TTS service, according to ModelScope.
The model is live first in the Hy Translate app, which IT Home and the project pages describe as free to use. SGLang says Hy-SimulMT is coming to SGLang Omni, with streaming Chinese-English audio input, translated text output, and BF16 inference on a single H200.
