Audio8-TTS-Realistic 0.6B

Audio8-TTS-Realistic is a 0.6B-parameter text-to-speech model, built on Audio8-TTS-Preview. It adds richer expression and supports 23 languages, 12 more than Preview. The demo page offers 24 curated English and Chinese voice-cloning examples (16 English, 8 Chinese), each rendered from the same text and reference voice by five models: Realistic, Preview, Breeze-TTS-2, Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base and Higgs TTS 3. The page says the examples illustrate realism and expression, are not a blind preference test or an overall ranking, and do not cover all 23 languages. The 0.6B count excludes the separate audio codec, and counting conventions differ between projects. Links to Hugging Face, GitHub and a paper are given, but the page states no licence, release date or benchmark figures.
