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

#### Load model:
```python
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
```python
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:
```python
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))
```
## Tips
- Please use at minimum a 3 second audio file for voice cloning.
- You can use return_smooth = True if you hear metallic sounds.
- Lower t_shift for less possible pronunciation errors but worse quality and vice versa.

## Community
- [Lux-TTS-Gradio](https://github.com/NidAll/LuxTTS-Gradio): A gradio app to use LuxTTS.
- [OptiSpeech](https://github.com/ycharfi09/OptiClone): Clean UI app to use LuxTTS.
- [LuxTTS-Comfyui](https://github.com/DragonDiffusionbyBoyo/BoyoLuxTTS-Comfyui.git): Nodes to use LuxTTS in comfyui.

Thanks to all community contributions!

## Info

Q: How is this different from ZipVoice?

A: LuxTTS uses the same architecture but distilled to 4 steps with an improved sampling technique. It also uses a custom 48khz vocoder instead of the default 24khz version.

Q: Can it be even faster?

A: Yes, currently it uses float32. Float16 should be significantly faster(almost 2x).

## Roadmap

- [x] Release model and code
- [x] Huggingface spaces demo
- [x] Release MPS support (thanks to @builtbybasit)
- [ ] Release LuxTTS v1.5
- [ ] Release code for float16 inference

## Acknowledgments

- [ZipVoice](https://github.com/k2-fsa/ZipVoice) for their excellent code and model.
- [Vocos](https://github.com/gemelo-ai/vocos.git) for their great vocoder.

## LuxTTS -- Complete Research Report

### Overview

**LuxTTS** is a lightweight, high-speed text-to-speech model designed for zero-shot voice cloning. It is built on top of **ZipVoice** (by Xiaomi/k2-fsa), distilled down to 4 inference steps, and paired with a custom 48kHz vocoder for high-clarity output. It was created by **Yatharth Sharma** (GitHub: ysharma3501, email: yatharthsharma350@gmail.com).

### Architecture

LuxTTS is a **flow-matching TTS** model using the **Zipformer** backbone (from k2-fsa/icefall). Key architectural components:

1. **Text Encoder** -- A Zipformer-based encoder
   - `text_encoder_dim`: 192
   - `text_encoder_num_layers`: 4
   - `text_encoder_feedforward_dim`: 512
   - `text_encoder_num_heads`: 4
   - `text_encoder_cnn_module_kernel`: 9
   - `text_embed_dim`: 192

2. **Flow Matching (FM) Decoder** -- A larger Zipformer with time embeddings and guidance scale embeddings, using a **multi-resolution U-Net-like downsampling/upsampling structure**:
   - `fm_decoder_dim`: 512
   - `fm_decoder_feedforward_dim`: 1536
   - `fm_decoder_num_heads`: 4
   - `fm_decoder_num_layers`: [2, 2, 4, 4, 4] (5 stages, 16 layers total)
   - `fm_decoder_downsampling_factor`: [1, 2, 4, 2, 1] (hourglass structure)
   - `fm_decoder_cnn_module_kernel`: [31, 15, 7, 15, 31]
   - `query_head_dim`: 32, `value_head_dim`: 12, `pos_head_dim`: 4, `pos_dim`: 48
   - `time_embed_dim`: 192
   - `feat_dim`: 100 (mel spectrogram features)

3. **Distillation**: Inherits from `ZipVoice` but replaces the solver with `DistillEulerSolver`, enabling generation in only **4 steps** (vs. the original 16+ steps). Uses an anchor-based ODE update scheme.

4. **Vocoder** -- A modified **Vocos** vocoder (from gemelo-ai) with a custom upsampler (from **LinaCodec**) to output 48kHz audio:
   - Backbone: VocosBackbone, dim=512, intermediate_dim=1536, 8 layers
   - Head: ISTFTHead (n_fft=1024, hop_length=256)
   - Upsampler: UpSamplerBlock from LinaCodec with upsample_factors [2, 1]
   - Mel features: 100 mels, sample_rate=24000 internally, upsampled to 48kHz output

5. **Tokenizer**: Uses `EmiliaTokenizer` with **360 phoneme-level tokens** (IPA symbols including click consonants, vowels, diacritics, etc.) processed via `piper_phonemize`.

6. **Prompt Encoder**: Uses **Whisper** (whisper-base for GPU, whisper-tiny for CPU) to transcribe the reference audio, then extracts mel features using `VocosFbank` at 24kHz.

### Parameter Count & File Sizes

Total storage: **~1.19 GB**

| File | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `model.pt` | 491 MB | Full PyTorch model (float32) |
| `fm_decoder.onnx` | 478 MB | FM decoder ONNX (float32) |
| `fm_decoder_int8.onnx` | 125 MB | FM decoder ONNX (int8 quantized) |
| `text_encoder.onnx` | 17.6 MB | Text encoder ONNX (float32) |
| `text_encoder_int8.onnx` | 5.6 MB | Text encoder ONNX (int8 quantized) |
| `vocoder/vocos.bin` | 64 MB | Vocos vocoder weights |
| `vocoder/config.yaml` | 752 B | Vocoder config |
| `config.json` | 697 B | Model config |
| `tokens.txt` | 2.6 KB | Tokenizer vocabulary |

From the file sizes, the FM decoder dominates (~478MB float32 ONNX). The full model.pt at 491MB in float32 suggests roughly **~120-130M parameters** total (491MB / 4 bytes per param). The text encoder is quite small (~4.4M params from the 17.6MB ONNX file). VRAM usage is stated to be under **1GB**.

### Inference API & Parameters

```python
from zipvoice.luxvoice import LuxTTS
lux_tts = LuxTTS('YatharthS/LuxTTS', device='cuda')  # or 'cpu', 'mps'

encoded_prompt = lux_tts.encode_prompt('reference.wav', duration=5, rms=0.01)
final_wav = lux_tts.generate_speech(
    text="Hello world!",
    encode_dict=encoded_prompt,
    num_steps=4,         # Higher = better quality but slower (3-4 best for efficiency)
    guidance_scale=3.0,  # Classifier-free guidance scale
    t_shift=0.5,         # Sampling temperature-like param (higher = better quality but worse WER)
    speed=1.0,           # Speech rate (lower = slower)
    return_smooth=False   # True = smoother but less clean (uses 24kHz path)
)
```

**Tips from the authors**:
- Minimum 3-second reference audio for voice cloning
- Use `return_smooth=True` if you hear metallic sounds
- Lower `t_shift` reduces pronunciation errors but degrades quality

### Key Technical Observations

1. **The flow matching operates in mel spectrogram space** (100-dim mel features at 24kHz), not in a latent/token space. The vocoder then converts mels to 48kHz waveform.

2. **The distillation approach** uses `DistillEulerSolver` with an anchor-based ODE update: at each step it predicts both x_0 (noise) and x_1 (clean data), interpolates for the next step, and snaps to x_1 on the final step.

3. **The 48kHz output is achieved by upsampling** -- the model internally operates at 24kHz mel resolution, and the custom Vocos vocoder with LinaCodec's `UpSamplerBlock` (factors [2,1]) produces 48kHz waveform from the ISTFT head.

4. **No training data is disclosed** in the model card or README. The upstream ZipVoice likely trained on Emilia/LibriTTS (given the tokenizer names), but LuxTTS does not specify its training data.

5. **The codebase includes training scripts** (`train_zipvoice.py`, `train_zipvoice_distill.py`) suggesting the distillation can be reproduced, though no training instructions are provided in the README.
