LuxTTS

Lightweight voice-cloning TTS — 48kHz speech at 150x realtime, fits in 1GB VRAM and runs on CPU or MPS. SOTA cloning from a ~3s reference sample, rivaling models 10x larger.

Curator's take

Reach for it when you need fast, local voice cloning that fits anywhere: 48kHz output (most open TTS caps at 24kHz), sub-1GB VRAM, and faster-than-realtime even on CPU make it practical for on-device apps and batch narration. NOT for you if you need many built-in voices or languages out of the box — it clones a reference, it doesn't ship a voice library — and cloning any real person's voice without consent is an ethics/legal minefield. Quality rides on a clean 3s+ reference.

LuxTTS

Hugging Face Model   Hugging Face Space   Colab Notebook

LuxTTS is an lightweight zipvoice based text-to-speech model designed for high quality voice cloning and realistic generation at speeds exceeding 150x realtime.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a3b57152-8d97-43ce-bd99-26dc9a145c29

The main features are

  • Voice cloning: SOTA voice cloning on par with models 10x larger.
  • Clarity: Clear 48khz speech generation unlike most TTS models which are limited to 24khz.
  • Speed: Reaches speeds of 150x realtime on a single GPU and faster then realtime on CPU's as well.
  • Efficiency: Fits within 1gb vram meaning it can fit in any local gpu.

Usage

You can try it locally, colab, or spaces.

Open In Colab Open in Spaces

Simple installation:

git clone https://github.com/ysharma3501/LuxTTS.git
cd LuxTTS
pip install -r requirements.txt

Load model:

from zipvoice.luxvoice import LuxTTS

# load model on GPU
lux_tts = LuxTTS('YatharthS/LuxTTS', device='cuda')

# load model on CPU
# lux_tts = LuxTTS('YatharthS/LuxTTS', device='cpu', threads=2)

# load model on MPS for macs
# lux_tts = LuxTTS('YatharthS/LuxTTS', device='mps')

Simple inference

import soundfile as sf
from IPython.display import Audio

text = "Hey, what's up? I'm feeling really great if you ask me honestly!"

## change this to your reference file path, can be wav/mp3
prompt_audio = 'audio_file.wav'

## encode audio(takes 10s to init because of librosa first time)
encoded_prompt = lux_tts.encode_prompt(prompt_audio, rms=0.01)

## generate speech
final_wav = lux_tts.generate_speech(text, encoded_prompt, num_steps=4)

## save audio
final_wav = final_wav.numpy().squeeze()
sf.write('output.wav', final_wav, 48000)

## display speech
if display is not None:
  display(Audio(final_wav, rate=48000))

Inference with sampling params:

import soundfile as sf
from IPython.display import Audio

text = "Hey, what's up? I'm feeling really great if you ask me honestly!"

## change this to your reference file path, can be wav/mp3
prompt_audio = 'audio_file.wav'

rms = 0.01 ## higher makes it sound louder(0.01 or so recommended)
t_shift = 0.9 ## sampling param, higher can sound better but worse WER
num_steps = 4 ## sampling param, higher sounds better but takes longer(3-4 is best for efficiency)
speed = 1.0 ## sampling param, controls speed of audio(lower=slower)
return_smooth = False ## sampling param, makes it sound smoother possibly but less cleaner
ref_duration = 5 ## Setting it lower can speedup inference, set to 1000 if you find artifacts.

## encode audio(takes 10s to init because of librosa first time)
encoded_prompt = lux_tts.encode_prompt(prompt_audio, duration=ref_duration, rms=rms)

## generate speech
final_wav = lux_tts.generate_speech(text, encoded_prompt, num_steps=num_steps, t_shift=t_shift, speed=speed, return_smooth=return_smooth)

## save audio
final_wav = final_wav.numpy().squeeze()
sf.write('output.wav', final_wav, 48000)

## display speech
if display is not None:
  display(Audio(final_wav, rate=48000))
