Smol TTS models are here! OuteTTS-0.1-350M - Zero shot voice cloning, built on LLaMa architecture, CC-BY license! 🔥

> Pure language modeling approach to TTS
> Zero-shot voice cloning
> LLaMa architecture w/ Audio tokens (WavTokenizer)
> BONUS: Works on-device w/ llama.cpp ⚡

Three-step approach to TTS:

> Audio tokenization using WavTokenizer (75 tok per second)
> CTC forced alignment for word-to-audio token mapping
> Structured prompt creation w/ transcription, duration, audio tokens

The model is extremely impressive for 350M parameters! Kudos to the
OuteAI team on such a brilliant feat - I'd love to see this be applied on larger data and smarter backbones like SmolLM 🤗

Check out the models here: OuteAI/outetts-6728aa71a53a076e4ba4817c

Rhymes AI drops Aria: small Multimodal MoE that beats GPT-4o and Gemini-1.5-Flash ⚡️

New player entered the game! Rhymes AI has just been announced, and unveiled Aria – a multimodal powerhouse that's punching above its weight.

Key insights:

🧠 Mixture-of-Experts architecture: 25.3B total params, but only 3.9B active.

🌈 Multimodal: text/image/video → text.

📚 Novel training approach: “multimodal-native” where multimodal training starts directly during pre-training, not just tacked on later

📏 Long 64K token context window

🔓 Apache 2.0 license, with weights, code, and demos all open

⚡️ On the benchmark side, Aria leaves some big names in the dust.

- It beats Pixtral 12B or Llama-3.2-12B on several vision benchmarks like MMMU or MathVista.
- It even overcomes the much bigger GPT-4o on long video tasks and even outshines Gemini 1.5 Flash when it comes to parsing lengthy documents.

But Rhymes AI isn't just showing off benchmarks. They've already got Aria powering a real-world augmented search app called “Beago”. It’s handling even recent events with great accuracy!

And they partnered with AMD to make it much faster than competitors like Perplexity or Gemini search.

Read their paper for Aria 👉  Aria: An Open Multimodal Native Mixture-of-Experts Model (2410.05993)

Try BeaGo 🐶 👉 https://rhymes.ai/blog-details/introducing-beago-your-smarter-faster-ai-search

On-device AI framework ecosystem is blooming these days:

1. llama.cpp - All things Whisper, LLMs & VLMs - run across Metal, CUDA and other backends (AMD/ NPU etc)
https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp

2. MLC - Deploy LLMs across platforms especially WebGPU (fastest WebGPU LLM implementation out there)
https://github.com/mlc-ai/web-llm

3. MLX - Arguably the fastest general purpose framework (Mac only) - Supports all major Image Generation (Flux, SDXL, etc), Transcription (Whisper), LLMs
https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-examples

4. Candle - Cross-platform general purpose framework written in Rust - wide coverage across model categories
https://github.com/huggingface/candle

Honorable mentions:

1. Transformers.js - Javascript (WebGPU) implementation built on top of ONNXruntimeweb
https://github.com/xenova/transformers.js

2. Mistral rs - Rust implementation for LLMs & VLMs, built on top of Candle
https://github.com/EricLBuehler/mistral.rs

3. Ratchet - Cross platform, rust based WebGPU framework built for battle-tested deployments
https://github.com/huggingface/ratchet

4. Zml - Cross platform, Zig based ML framework
https://github.com/zml/zml

Looking forward to how the ecosystem would look 1 year from now - Quite bullish on the top 4 atm - but open source ecosystem changes quite a bit! 🤗

Also, which frameworks did I miss?

A 'small' MobileNet-V4 update, I just pushed weights for the smallest model I've trained in the series, a 0.5 width multiplier version of the MobileNet-V4 Conv Small.

Now you may look at this and say hey, why is this impressive? 64.8% top-1 and 2.2M params? MobileNetV3-Small 0.75, and MobileNet-V2 0.5 are both fewer params (at ~2M) and over 65% top-1, what gives? Well this is where MobileNet-V4 differs from the previous versions of the model family, it trades off (gives up) a little parameter efficiency for some computational efficiency.

So, let's look at the speed. On a 4090 w/ torchcompile
* 98K img/sec - timm/mobilenetv4_conv_small_050.e3000_r224_in1k
* 58K img/sec - timm/mobilenetv3_small_075.lamb_in1k
* 37K img/sec - timm/mobilenetv2_050.lamb_in1k

And there you go, if you have a need for speed, MNV4 is the better option.

Less than two days ago Kyutai Labs open sourced Moshi - an ~7.6B on-device Speech to Speech foundation model and Mimi - SoTA streaming speech codec! 🔥

The release includes:

1. Moshiko & Moshika - Moshi finetuned on synthetic data (CC-BY license) ( kyutai/moshi-v01-release-66eaeaf3302bef6bd9ad7acd)
2. Mimi - Streaiming Audio Codec, processes 24 kHz audio, down to a 12.5 Hz representation with a bandwidth of 1.1 kbps (CC-BY license) ( kyutai/mimi)
3. Model checkpoints & Inference codebase written in Rust (Candle), PyTorch & MLX (Apache license) (https://github.com/kyutai-labs/moshi)

How does Moshi work?

1. Moshi processes two audio streams: one for itself and one for the user, with the user's stream coming from audio input and Moshi's stream generated by the model.

2. Along with these audio streams, Moshi predicts text tokens for its speech, enhancing its generation quality.

3. The model uses a small Depth Transformer for codebook dependencies and a large 7B parameter Temporal Transformer for temporal dependencies.

4. The theoretical latency is 160ms, with a practical latency of around 200ms on an L4 GPU.

Model size & inference:

Moshiko/ka are 7.69B param models

bf16 ~16GB VRAM
8-bit ~8GB VRAM
4-bit ~4GB VRAM

You can run inference via Candle 🦀, PyTorch and MLX - based on your hardware.

The Kyutai team, @adefossez @lmz and team are cracked AF, they're bringing some serious firepower to the open source/ science AI scene, looking forward to what's next! 🐐

🤯 Ghost 8B Beta emerges as a clear leader, surpassing even proprietary models like xAI Grok 1, OpenAI GPT 3.5, and Mistral Mixtral 8x7B. This dominance extends to its parity with Mistral Medium, further solidifying its position as a top-tier language model. Furthermore, Ghost 8B Beta stands out as one of only three models employing the zero-shot method for evaluation, alongside Claude 2 and Claude 3, showcasing its unique capabilities and potential for groundbreaking applications.
