The update

The dots team at Xiaohongshu, in collaboration with the X-LANCE Lab at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, has officially open-sourced dots.tts, a speech synthesis base model. Featuring 2 billion parameters, the model utilizes a fully continuous latent space autoregressive architecture. Unlike traditional approaches, dots.tts does not rely on discrete acoustic tokens, enabling smoother generation. It achieved state-of-the-art performance on the Seed-TTS-Eval benchmark for zero-shot voice cloning. Furthermore, the model offers high flexibility, supporting timbre fine-tuning and direct speech editing, providing developers with a powerful foundational tool.
