On January 20, 2025, Doubao App officially released its latest 'end-to-end' voice large model, with significant updates to its real-time voice call functionality. This development marks another leap for Doubao in the field of voice interaction, surpassing the previous ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition), LLM (Large Language Model), and TTS (Text-to-Speech) cascading solutions by integrating voice recognition, understanding, and generation into a single model. After testing by 'Intelligent Emergence,' the standout feature of the new Doubao version is its human-like capabilities.

A recent study reveals that readers struggle to distinguish between poems created by human poets and those generated by artificial intelligence. Surprisingly, many participants rated the AI-generated poems even higher than those by renowned poets. This research was conducted by Brian Porter, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Pittsburgh, and his team, with results published this week in Nature Scientific Reports. Image source note: The image was generated by AI, selected by the Midjourney research team's licensing service.

Recently, Oute AI released a novel text-to-speech synthesis method called OuteTTS-0.1-350M. This method utilizes pure language modeling without the need for external adapters or complex architectures, offering a simplified TTS approach. OuteTTS-0.1-350M is based on the LLaMa architecture, using WavTokenizer to directly generate audio tokens, making the process more efficient. The model features zero-shot voice cloning capability, requiring only a few seconds of reference audio.

Geely Auto has recently achieved a significant breakthrough in the field of speech synthesis, with its self-developed HAM-TTS large model outperforming the industry benchmark VALL-E, attracting widespread attention in the industry. This AI large model, named "Xingrui," has achieved significant improvements in key indicators such as pronunciation accuracy, naturalness, and speaker similarity. The HAM-TTS model utilizes token-based zero-shot text-to-speech hierarchical acoustic modeling technology, greatly enhancing the user interaction experience in intelligent cockpits. Under the same conditions of 400 million parameters, HAM-TTS...

At the opening ceremony of the 2024 Yunqi Conference, Giant Network made its debut and showcased its latest achievements in the "Game + AI" field. The company launched two self-developed large model applications—GiantGPT and BaiLing-TTS—while also demonstrating new technologies such as AI Digital Humans and the AI painting platform Giant Mimicry.

The release of Fish Speech 1.4 marks a significant breakthrough in multilingual support and performance for this open-source text-to-speech (TTS) model. As an innovative solution committed to providing high-quality and natural-sounding speech synthesis experiences, Fish Speech demonstrates its strong technical capabilities and broad application prospects in this update. The most notable feature of Fish Speech 1.4 is its powerful multilingual support capability: the training data volume has doubled, enhancing the model's

An innovative project called ChatTTS-OpenVoice has garnered attention on the internet by merging ChatTTS with OpenVoice technology, capable of generating personalized and natural-sounding voices based on a 10-second reference audio uploaded by users. This technology is suitable for dubbing tools and voice assistants, simplifying the upload process to provide users with a customized voice experience. Since its launch, the project has received widespread acclaim from developers and users alike, creating a buzz on social media. The project's leader stated that it aims to offer users a more personalized and natural voice.
