⚡ LongCat-AudioDiT-3.5B — The Commercial SOTA for Voice Cloning (May 2026)
🎤 Overview
LongCat-AudioDiT-3.5B is the leading state-of-the-art (SOTA) model for zero-shot voice cloning and text-to-speech as of May 2026. Developed by Meituan's LongCat team, it delivers the most accurate voice cloning in the open-source domain, capturing not just tonal similarity but the unique way of speaking, breathing patterns, and subtle emotional inflections of the reference speaker.
✅ Voice Clone Quality: Exceptionally accurate — clones voice and speaking style with unmatched fidelity
✅ Commercial Use: Fully permitted under the MIT License (both code and model weights)
✅ Two Versions: 1B and 3.5B parameters (this card is for the 3.5B flagship version)
🏆 Model Ranking (May 2026)
Tier 1 — The Commercial SOTA
1. 🥇 LongCat-AudioDiT-3.5B (Meituan) — MIT License
- The undisputed best open-source voice cloning model. Unmatched in cloning accuracy, naturalness, and speaking style preservation.
2. 🥈 MOSS-TTS 8B (OpenMOSS / MOSI.AI) — Apache 2.0 License
- The only model that comes close. A production-grade 8B flagship with zero-shot voice cloning, long-form synthesis (up to ~1 hour), and fine-grained pronunciation control. Fully open-source and safe for commercial deployment.
⚠️ Technically Excellent but Excluded from Ranking
Fish Audio S2 Pro would compete for the #1 spot on technical merit alone. However, it is released under the Fish Audio Research License, which explicitly restricts usage to research and non-commercial purposes only. Any business or production use requires a separate paid license, making it unsuitable for unrestricted commercial projects. For this reason, it is excluded from this ranking.
📉 Everything Else
All other open-source TTS models — including but not limited to Qwen3-TTS, Voxtral TTS, VoxCPM2, OmniVoice, X-Voice, Chatterbox, and XTTS-v2 — do not match the voice cloning fidelity and naturalness of LongCat-AudioDiT-3.5B or MOSS-TTS 8B as of May 2026.
🧠 Architecture
LongCat-AudioDiT operates directly in a waveform latent space rather than the traditional mel-spectrogram domain. This single-stage Diffusion Transformer (DiT) approach eliminates the information loss inherent in spectrogram-based pipelines, preserving every subtle nuance of the reference speaker's voice.

Introduction
LongCat-AudioDiT is a state-of-the-art (SOTA) diffusion-based text-to-speech (TTS) model that directly operates on the waveform latent space.
> Abstract: We present LongCat-TTS, a novel, non-autoregressive diffusion-based text-to-speech (TTS) model that achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance.
Unlike previous methods that rely on intermediate acoustic representations such as mel-spectrograms, the core innovation of LongCat-TTS lies in operating directly within the waveform latent space. This approach effectively mitigates compounding errors and drastically simplifies the TTS pipeline, requiring only a waveform variational autoencoder (Wav-VAE) and a diffusion backbone.
Furthermore, we introduce two critical improvements to the inference process: first, we identify and rectify a long-standing training-inference mismatch; second, we replace traditional classifier-free guidance with adaptive projection guidance to elevate generation quality.
Experimental results demonstrate that, despite the absence of complex multi-stage training pipelines or high-quality human-annotated datasets, LongCat-TTS achieves SOTA zero-shot voice cloning performance on the Seed benchmark while maintaining competitive intelligibility.
Specifically, our largest variant, LongCat-TTS-3.5B, outperforms the previous SOTA model (Seed-TTS), improving the speaker similarity (SIM) scores from 0.809 to 0.818 on Seed-ZH, and from 0.776 to 0.797 on Seed-Hard.
Finally, through comprehensive ablation studies and systematic analysis, we validate the effectiveness of our proposed modules.
Notably, we investigate the interplay between the Wav-VAE and the TTS backbone, revealing the counterintuitive finding that superior reconstruction fidelity in the Wav-VAE does not necessarily lead to better overall TTS performance.
Code and model weights are released to foster further research within the speech community.
