Jiaqi Li, Xueyao Zhang, Yuancheng Wang, Haorui He, Chaoren Wang, Li Wang, Huan Liao, Junyi Ao, Zeyu Xie, Yiqiao Huang, Junan Zhang, Zhizheng Wu

TL;DR

Amphion v0.2 introduces a scalable, open-source toolkit for audio, music, and speech generation, addressing entry barriers for junior researchers by pairing a 100K-hour multilingual dataset with a robust Emilia-Pipe data pipeline. The framework unifies state-of-the-art generative modalities, including neural audio codecs, autoregressive and masked speech language models, diffusion/flow-matching approaches, and advanced TTS/VC systems such as MaskGCT and Vevo, complemented by specialized datasets like SpMis and SD‑Eval. It also extends to practical tools for speech enhancement (AnyEnhance) and temporally controllable audio (PicoAudio), with extensive tutorials and open-source experiments demonstrating robust performance across multiple downstream tasks. The work highlights Amphion’s potential to accelerate research and real-world deployment in robust, controllable, and multilingual audio generation, while fostering an active ecosystem of models, datasets, and tutorials.

Abstract

Amphion is an open-source toolkit for Audio, Music, and Speech Generation, designed to lower the entry barrier for junior researchers and engineers in these fields. It provides a versatile framework that supports a variety of generation tasks and models. In this report, we introduce Amphion v0.2, the second major release developed in 2024. This release features a 100K-hour open-source multilingual dataset, a robust data preparation pipeline, and novel models for tasks such as text-to-speech, audio coding, and voice conversion. Furthermore, the report includes multiple tutorials that guide users through the functionalities and usage of the newly released models.
