Model Card for indri-0.1-350m-tts

Indri is a series of audio models that can do TTS, ASR, and audio continuation. This is the medium sized model (350M) in our series and supports TTS tasks in 2 languages:

1. English
2. Hindi

Model Details

Model Description

indri-0.1-350m-tts is a novel, ultra-small, and lightweight TTS model based on the transformer architecture. It models audio as tokens and can generate high-quality audio with consistent style cloning of the speaker.

Samples

Text	Sample
मित्रों, हम आज एक नया छोटा और शक्तिशाली मॉडल रिलीज कर रहे हैं।
भाइयों और बहनों, ये हमारा सौभाग्य है कि हम सब मिलकर इस महान देश को नई ऊंचाइयों पर ले जाने का सपना देख रहे हैं।
Hello दोस्तों, future of speech technology mein अपका स्वागत है
In this model zoo, a new model called Indri has appeared.

Key features

1. Small, based on GPT-2 medium architecture. The methodology can be extended to any autoregressive transformer-based architecture.
2. Ultra-fast. Using our self hosted service option, on RTX6000Ada NVIDIA GPU the model can achieve speeds up to 300 toks/s (3s of audio generation per s) and under 20ms time to first token.
3. On RTX6000Ada, it can support a batch size of ~300 sequences with full context length of 1024 tokens
4. Supports voice cloning with small prompts (<5s).
5. Code mixing text input in 2 languages - English and Hindi.

Details

1. Model Type: GPT-2 based language model
2. Size: 350M parameters
3. Language Support: English, Hindi
4. License: This model is not for commercial usage. This is only a research showcase.

Technical details

Here's a brief of how the model works:

1. Converts input text into tokens
2. Runs autoregressive decoding on GPT-2 based transformer model and generates audio tokens
3. Decodes audio tokens (using Kyutai/mimi) to audio

Please read our blog here for more technical details on how it was built.

How to Get Started with the Model

🤗 pipelines

Use the code below to get started with the model. Pipelines are the best way to get started with the model.

import torch
import torchaudio
from transformers import pipeline

model_id = '11mlabs/indri-0.1-350m-tts'
task = 'indri-tts'

pipe = pipeline(
    task,
    model=model_id,
    device=torch.device('cuda:0'), # Update this based on your hardware,
    trust_remote_code=True
)

output = pipe(['Hi, my name is Indri and I like to talk.'], speaker = '[spkr_63]')

torchaudio.save('output.wav', output[0]['audio'][0], sample_rate=24000)
