The ability to generate high-quality audio from text descriptions has long been a holy grail of artificial intelligence. AudioCraft, Meta’s open-source PyTorch library, brings this capability to the broader AI community with a comprehensive suite of audio generation models that cover music, sound effects, and neural audio compression.

AudioCraft unifies three distinct audio generation capabilities under a single codebase: MusicGen for generating music from text prompts, AudioGen for creating sound effects and environmental audio, and EnCodec for neural audio compression. Each component is state-of-the-art in its domain, and together they form one of the most powerful open-source audio AI toolkits available.

Higgs Audio: Boson AI's Open-Source Text-Audio Foundation Model

Text-to-speech technology has advanced dramatically in recent years, transitioning from robotic, monotone synthesis to remarkably natural voice generation. Higgs Audio by Boson AI represents the state of the art in open-source audio generation, offering a text-to-audio foundation model that produces speech indistinguishable from human recordings across multiple voices, languages, and emotional registers.

What distinguishes Higgs Audio from previous TTS systems is its scale and architecture. Pretrained on over 10 million hours of diverse audio data – far more than any prior open-source TTS model – Higgs Audio has learned the full richness and variety of human speech. It can generate expressive speech with appropriate emotion, emphasis, and pacing, clone a voice from just a few seconds of audio, produce multi-speaker dialogues with distinct voices, and even transfer speaking styles between voices.
