This repository contains **Ming-3.0-tts-tiny**, the Ming-3.0-tts mixture-of-experts checkpoint built on Ling V3. Its Ling V3 backbone has 7.9B total parameters and activates about 1.3B parameters per token. The repository includes sharded weights, supporting model code, audio tokenizer, speaker encoder and text tokenizer.

> **Inference requires the [Ming-3.0-tts GitHub repository](https://github.com/inclusionAI/Ming-3.0-tts).** This Hugging Face repository is for checkpoint distribution and does not provide a standalone inference setup. Clone the GitHub repository and follow its README for the current dependencies, inference code and usage instructions. The CLI scripts and Python APIs referenced below are provided by the GitHub repository.

## Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/inclusionAI/Ming-3.0-tts.git
cd Ming-3.0-tts
conda create -n ming-tiny python=3.10.15 -y
conda activate ming-tiny
pip install -r requirements-tiny.txt
```

Tiny uses a separate reference inference environment: Python **3.10.15**, PyTorch and torchaudio **2.7.1+cu118** (CUDA 11.8 wheels), and `transformers==4.46.3`. Install the pinned dependencies from [requirements-tiny.txt](https://github.com/inclusionAI/Ming-3.0-tts/blob/main/requirements-tiny.txt) in a dedicated environment, as other dependency versions differ from 0.5B. We recommend using NVIDIA H800 for inference.

### Download

```bash
pip install "huggingface_hub[cli]"
hf download inclusionAI/Ming-3.0-tts-tiny --local-dir Ming-3.0-tts-tiny
```

### CLI Inference

```bash
python infer_tiny.py \
  --model_path inclusionAI/Ming-3.0-tts-tiny \
  --task dialect \
  --text "今日天气几好，我哋食完饭一齐去海边行下啦。" \
  --dialect 广粤话 \
  --prompt_wav data/wavs/10002287-00000094.wav \
  --output_path output/tiny.wav
```

### Python API

Loading configures the release runtime (bf16, portable MoE loop, fp32 recurrent state) and checks the checkpoint against it; `generate()` defaults to `cfg_scale=2.0`, `temperature=0`, `flow_steps=10`, and `sigma=0.25`.

```python
from ming_tiny import MingTinyTTS

tts = MingTinyTTS.from_pretrained("inclusionAI/Ming-3.0-tts-tiny", device="cuda:0")
tts.generate(
    task="seed",
    text="傍晚的风从山口吹过来，远处的云慢慢染成了金色。",
    prompt_wav="data/wavs/10002287-00000094.wav",
    prompt_text="在此奉劝大家别乱打美白针。",
    target_language="Chinese",          # English for English text
    output_path="outputs/seed.wav",
)
```

### Supported Tasks

Each call selects one task and accepts the inputs listed below:

| Task | Reference audio | Reference text | `target_language` | Controls |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `seed` | one | required | `Chinese` / `English`, required | — |
| `multilingual` | one | required | `German` / `Spanish` / `French` / `Korean` / `Japanese` | — |
| `paralinguistic` | one | required | `Chinese` / `English` | inline tags in `text` |
| `podcast` | one per speaker | one per speaker, same order | inferred from the text | `speaker_N:` at the start of every line |
| `basic` | one | not accepted | — | `speed`, `pitch`, `volume`, all three |
| `emotion` | one | not accepted | — | `emotion` |
| `dialect` | one | not accepted | — | `dialect`: `川渝话` / `广粤话` |
| `freeform` | one | not accepted | — | `instruction` |
| `voice_design` | none | — | — | `style` |
| `ip` | none | — | — | `ip` |

Freeform always requires a reference clip and cannot be combined with voice design, a built-in voice, emotion, dialect or attribute controls. For `podcast`, start every dialogue line with `speaker_N:` and provide one reference audio clip and transcript per speaker, in speaker order. Repeat `--prompt_wav` and `--prompt_text` on the command line.

See the [Tiny examples](https://github.com/inclusionAI/Ming-3.0-tts#ming-30-tts-tiny) for a Podcast Python example and [examples/one_click/](https://github.com/inclusionAI/Ming-3.0-tts/tree/main/examples/one_click) for scripts for every task. `python infer_tiny.py --help` lists the CLI arguments.

### Verify the Checkpoint

```bash
python tools/preflight_tiny.py --model_path /path/to/Ming-3.0-tts-tiny
```

## Performance

The tables below contain results for **this Tiny checkpoint only**. See the [project README](https://github.com/inclusionAI/Ming-3.0-tts#performance) for evaluation details and full cross-model comparisons.

### Zero-shot TTS (Seed-TTS testset)

| zh WER ↓ | zh SIM ↑ | en WER ↓ | en SIM ↑ |
| ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |

<p><small>Each open-source model was evaluated using its recommended inference settings under a unified ASR-based WER/CER evaluation protocol.</small></p>

### Paralinguistic Control (NVBench)

| Multi | Chinese | 4.49 | 32.88 | 5.81 |
| Multi | English | 5.12 | 46.13 | 7.68 |

### Dialect Control

| Test set | CER ↓ | SIM ↑ | ACC ↑ |

| Attribute control: speed / volume / pitch / average | 93.00% / 93.00% / 78.70% / 88.23% |
| Attribute control: WER / SIM | 0.274% / 0.742 |
| Voice Design: APS / DSD / RP / average | 85.10% / 79.90% / 61.10% / 75.37% |

### Podcast

| CER ↓ | cpSIM ↑ | UTMOS ↑ |
| ---: | ---: | ---: |
| 2.03% | 0.561 | 2.12 |

## Limitations

- Korean CER (6.000%) is the clearest multilingual content-accuracy gap for this checkpoint.
- Speaker similarity remains weaker than content accuracy on several multilingual and dialect evaluations.
- NVBench Multi trails Single on several metrics; stability with multiple paralinguistic events in one sentence is still improving.
- Emotion control is harder when the words carry no emotional signal.
- Pitch is less accurate than speed and volume, and open-ended Voice Design does not yet match the strongest evaluated system.
- Podcast audio quality remains a limitation: UTMOS is 2.12, below ZipVoice-Dia's 2.24 and the historical Ming-omni-tts-0.5B score of 2.25.
