inclusionAI releases five open-weight Ming-3.0 speech and audio models
Overview
inclusionAI releases five open-weight Ming-3.0 audio models for speech synthesis, audio understanding and speech recognition, according to Ant Ling, which says it open-sourced them.
Ant Ling lists the parameter counts: the speech synthesis family includes a 0.5B voice design model and a 7.9B-parameter (1.3B active) Tiny model for long-form speech; the audio family includes a 126B-parameter (6.5B active) Flash model for understanding and tool use and a 9.3B-parameter (2.7B active) Tiny model for dialogue; the recognition model, Ming-3.0-asr-tiny, has 8.6B parameters (2B active) and accepts hotwords and dialogue history.
ModelScope says Ming-3.0-tts-0.5B reaches a 1069 Elo rating on Artificial Analysis Controlled Voice, the top open-weight result, using eight English reference voices. It also reports that Ming-3.0-audio-flash scores 99.40 on BigBenchAudio S2T in the authors' own comparison.
SGLang and vLLM announce day-0 serving support for the models, with SGLang-Omni covering three of them.
