Pure C inference engine for Qwen3-TTS text-to-speech. No Python, no PyTorch — just C and BLAS. Supports 0.6B and 1.7B models, 9 voices, 10 languages.
Why this job: says: tts; topics: text-to-speech, tts, speech-synthesis, text to speech
What it does
- Pure C, minimal dependencies. Only requires a C compiler and BLAS. No Python runtime needed.
- Runs on macOS, Linux and Windows/WSL2 (ARM/x86). the hot matvec/attention kernels have NEON+SDOT (ARM), AVX2 and AVX-512/VNNI/BF16 (x86) twins with a scalar fallback + runtime ISA guard, and decode threading runs on a cross-OS pool (GCD on
- Optional GPU backends (opt-in). Apple Metal (make metal) and NVIDIA CUDA (make cuda) run the whole fused pipeline resident on the GPU (0.28 RTF for 0.6B on an M4; ~0.44 for 1.7B on a mainstream NVIDIA GPU), plus server request-batching for
- Both model sizes. Automatically detects 0.6B or 1.7B from weight files.
- 9 preset voices. ryan, vivian, serena, aiden, eric, dylan, uncle_fu, ono_anna, sohee.
