Worked on the Blaizzy/mlx-audio repository to enhance multilingual zero-shot voice cloning by porting Confucius4-TTS to MLX, enabling torch-free inference on Apple Silicon. Leveraged Python and NumPy to implement 8-bit quantization for T2S and w2v-bert encoders, reducing memory usage and improving inference speed. Extended RoPE frequency tensors to support longer audio sequences, preventing runtime crashes. Developed a self-contained feature extraction pipeline using MLX, removing dependencies on external libraries like librosa. Addressed audio processing bugs by standardizing reference audio resampling and improved deployment portability by refactoring checkpoint resolution logic, resulting in a more robust and adaptable TTS stack.
June 2026 monthly summary for Blaizzy/mlx-audio: Delivered cross-MLX port and quality improvements for Confucius4-TTS, introduced 8-bit quantization for T2S and w2v-bert, extended RoPE for longer sequences, and established a self-contained feature extraction pipeline. Resolved critical audio and deployment bugs, including 16 kHz reference audio resampling and portable checkpoint resolution. These changes reduce memory footprint, speed up decoding, improve audio quality, and simplify deployment across Apple Silicon and diverse environments, strengthening the end-to-end TTS stack and enabling broader adoption.
