Overview

VoxCPM2 is an open-source text-to-speech (TTS) model from OpenBMB, designed for developers needing high-fidelity voice synthesis with an Apache-2.0 license. Unlike closed-API solutions, VoxCPM2 allows for local deployment, giving you full control over data privacy and latency. It is optimized for natural prosody and clear articulation, making it suitable for integrating into accessibility tools, automated content creation, or interactive AI agents. For developers, the primary draw is the balance between computational efficiency and output quality, allowing it to scale across various hardware configurations without requiring massive GPU clusters for inference.

Highlights

  • Permissive Apache-2.0 license for commercial use
  • High-fidelity voice synthesis with natural prosody
  • Low-latency local deployment for privacy and speed
  • Seamless integration into AI agent workflows
  • Efficient inference across diverse hardware setups

Highlights

  • 🌍 30-Language Multilingual — No language tag needed; input text in any supported language directly
  • 🎨 Voice Design — Generate a novel voice from a natural-language description alone (gender, age, tone, emotion, pace…); no reference audio required
  • 🎛️ Controllable Cloning — Clone any voice from a short clip, with optional style guidance to steer emotion, pace, and expression while preserving timbre
  • 🎙️ Ultimate Cloning — Provide reference audio + its transcript for audio-continuation cloning; every vocal nuance faithfully reproduced
  • 🔊 48kHz Studio-Quality Output — Accepts 16kHz reference; outputs 48kHz via AudioVAE V2's built-in super-resolution, no external upsampler needed
  • 🧠 Context-Aware Synthesis — Automatically infers appropriate prosody and expressiveness from text content
  • Real-Time Streaming — RTF as low as ~0.3 on NVIDIA RTX 4090, and ~0.13 accelerated by Nano-VLLM
  • 📜 Fully Open-Source & Commercial-Ready — Apache-2.0 license, free for commercial use

Quick Start

Installation

bash
pip install voxcpm

Requirements: Python ≥ 3.10, PyTorch ≥ 2.5.0, CUDA ≥ 12.0 · Full Quick Start →

Text-to-Speech

python
from voxcpm import VoxCPM
import soundfile as sf

model = VoxCPM.from_pretrained("openbmb/VoxCPM2", load_denoiser=False)

wav = model.generate(
text="VoxCPM2 brings multilingual support, creative voice design, and controllable voice cloning.",
cfg_value=2.0,
inference_timesteps=10,
)
sf.write("output.wav", wav, model.tts_model.sample_rate)

Voice Design

Put the voice description in parentheses at the start of text, followed by the content to synthesize:

python
wav = model.generate(
    text="(A young woman, gentle and sweet voice)Hello, welcome to VoxCPM2!",
    cfg_value=2.0,
    inference_timesteps=10,
)
sf.write("voice_design.wav", wav, model.tts_model.sample_rate)

Controllable Voice Cloning

python
# Basic cloning
wav = model.generate(
    text="This is a cloned voice generated by VoxCPM2.",
    reference_wav_path="speaker.wav",
)
sf.write("clone.wav", wav, model.tts_model.sample_rate)

Cloning with style control

wav = model.generate( text="(slightly faster, cheerful tone)This is a cloned voice with style control.", reference_wav_path="speaker.wav", cfg_value=2.0, inference_timesteps=10, ) sf.write("controllable_clone.wav", wav, model.tts_model.sample_rate)

Ultimate Cloning

Provide both the reference audio and its exact transcript for maximum fidelity. Pass the same clip to both reference_wav_path and prompt_wav_path for highest similarity:

python
wav = model.generate(
    text="This is an ultimate cloning demonstration using VoxCPM2.",
    prompt_wav_path="speaker_reference.wav",
    prompt_text="The transcript of the reference audio.",
    reference_wav_path="speaker_reference.wav",
)
sf.write("hifi_clone.wav", wav, model.tts_model.sample_rate)

Streaming

python
import numpy as np

chunks = []
for chunk in model.generate_streaming(text="Streaming is easy with VoxCPM!"):
chunks.append(chunk)
wav = np.concatenate(chunks)
sf.write("streaming.wav", wav, model.tts_model.sample_rate)

Performance

VoxCPM2 achieves state-of-the-art or competitive results on major zero-shot and controllable TTS benchmarks.

See the GitHub repo for full benchmark tables (Seed-TTS-eval, CV3-eval, InstructTTSEval, MiniMax Multilingual Test).

Fine-tuning

VoxCPM2 supports both full SFT and LoRA fine-tuning with as little as 5–10 minutes of audio:

bash
# LoRA fine-tuning (recommended)
python scripts/train_voxcpm_finetune.py \
    --config_path conf/voxcpm_v2/voxcpm_finetune_lora.yaml

Full fine-tuning

python scripts/train_voxcpm_finetune.py \ --config_path conf/voxcpm_v2/voxcpm_finetune_all.yaml

See the Fine-tuning Guide for full instructions.

Limitations

  • Voice Design and Style Control results may vary between runs; generating 1–3 times is recommended to obtain the desired output.
  • Performance varies across languages depending on training data availability.
  • Occasional instability may occur with very long or highly expressive inputs.
  • Strictly forbidden to use for impersonation, fraud, or disinformation. AI-generated content should be clearly labeled.
