Release v4.53.0

Gemma3n

Gemma 3n models are designed for efficient execution on low-resource devices. They are capable of multimodal input, handling text, image, video, and audio input, and generating text outputs, with open weights for pre-trained and instruction-tuned variants. These models were trained with data in over 140 spoken languages.

Gemma 3n models use selective parameter activation technology to reduce resource requirements. This technique allows the models to operate at an effective size of 2B and 4B parameters, which is lower than the total number of parameters they contain. For more information on Gemma 3n's efficient parameter management technology, see the Gemma 3n page.

Dia

Dia is an opensource text-to-speech (TTS) model (1.6B parameters) developed by Nari Labs. It can generate highly realistic dialogue from transcript including nonverbal communications such as laughter and coughing. Furthermore, emotion and tone control is also possible via audio conditioning (voice cloning).

Model Architecture: Dia is an encoder-decoder transformer based on the original transformer architecture. However, some more modern features such as rotational positional embeddings (RoPE) are also included. For its text portion (encoder), a byte tokenizer is utilized while for the audio portion (decoder), a pretrained codec model DAC is used - DAC encodes speech into discrete codebook tokens and decodes them back into audio.

• Add Dia model by @​buttercrab in #38405

Kyutai Speech-to-Text

Kyutai STT is a speech-to-text model architecture based on the Mimi codec, which encodes audio into discrete tokens in a streaming fashion, and a Moshi-like autoregressive decoder. Kyutai’s lab has released two model checkpoints:

• kyutai/stt-1b-en_fr: a 1B-parameter model capable of transcribing both English and French
