Model overview
mini-omni is an open-source multimodel large language model developed by gpt-omni that can hear, talk while thinking in streaming. It features real-time end-to-end speech input and streaming audio output conversational capabilities, allowing it to generate text and audio simultaneously. This is an advancement over previous models that required separate speech recognition and text-to-speech components. mini-omni can also perform "Audio-to-Text" and "Audio-to-Audio" batch inference to further boost performance.
Similar models include Parler-TTS Mini v1, a lightweight text-to-speech model that can generate high-quality, natural-sounding speech, and Parler-TTS Mini v0.1, an earlier release from the same project. MiniCPM-V is another efficient multimodal language model with promising performance.
Model inputs and outputs

- Audio:
mini-omnican also produce streaming audio output, allowing it to talk while thinking.
Capabilities
mini-omni can engage in natural, conversational interactions by hearing the user's speech, processing it, and generating both text and audio responses on the fly. This enables more seamless and intuitive human-AI interactions compared to models that require separate speech recognition and text-to-speech components. The ability to talk while thinking, with streaming audio output, sets mini-omni apart from traditional language models.
What can I use it for?
The streaming speech-to-speech capabilities of mini-omni make it well-suited for building conversational AI assistants, chatbots, or voice-based interfaces. It could be used in applications such as customer service, personal assistants, or educational tools, where natural, back-and-forth dialogue is important. By eliminating the need for separate speech recognition and text-to-speech models, mini-omni can simplify the development and deployment of these types of applications.
Things to try
One interesting aspect of mini-omni is its ability to "talk while thinking," generating text and audio outputs simultaneously. This could allow for more dynamic and responsive conversations, where the model can provide immediate feedback or clarification as it formulates its response. Developers could experiment with using this capability to create more engaging and natural-feeling interactions.
Additionally, the model's "Audio-to-Text" and "Audio-to-Audio" batch inference features could be leveraged to improve performance and reliability, especially in high-volume or latency-sensitive applications. Exploring ways to optimize these capabilities could lead to more efficient and robust conversational AI systems.

The parler-tts-mini-v1 is a lightweight text-to-speech (TTS) model developed by the parler-tts team. It is part of the Parler-TTS project, which aims to provide the community with TTS training resources and dataset pre-processing code. Compared to the larger parler-tts-large-v1 model, the parler-tts-mini-v1 is a more compact model that can still generate high-quality, natural-sounding speech with features that can be controlled using a simple text prompt. Model Inputs and Outputs The parler-tts-mini-v1 model takes two main inputs: Inputs Input IDs**: A sequence of token IDs representing a textual description of the desired speech characteristics, such as the speaker's gender, background noise level, speaking rate, pitch and reverberation. Prompt Input IDs**: A sequence of token IDs representing the actual text prompt that the model should generate speech for. Outputs Audio Waveform**: The model generates a high-quality audio waveform representing the spoken version of the provided text prompt, with the specified speech characteristics. Capabilities The parler-tts-mini-v1 model can generate natural-sounding speech with a high degree of control over various acoustic features. For example, you can specify a "female speaker with a slightly expressive and animated speech, moderate speed and pitch, and very high-quality audio" and the model will generate the corresponding audio. This level of fine-grained control over the speech characteristics sets the Parler-TTS models apart from many other TTS systems. What Can I Use It For? The parler-tts-mini-v1 model can be used in a variety of applications that require high-quality text-to-speech generation, such as: Virtual assistants and chatbots Audiobook and podcast creation Text-to-speech accessibility features Voice over and dubbing for video and animation Language learning and education tools The ability to control the speech characteristics makes the Parler-TTS models particularly well-suited for use cases where personalized or expressive voices are required. Things to Try One interesting feature of the Parler-TTS models is the ability to specify a particular speaker by name in the input description. This allows you to generate speech with a consistent voice across multiple generations, which can be useful for applications like audiobook narration or virtual assistants with a defined persona. Another interesting aspect to explore is the use of punctuation in the input prompt to control the prosody and pacing of the generated speech. For example, adding commas or periods can create small pauses or emphasis in the output. Finally, you can experiment with using the Parler-TTS models to generate speech in different languages or emotional styles, leveraging the models' cross-lingual and expressive capabilities.
