Voxtral TTS is a multilingual text-to-speech model that generates natural speech from short reference audio

advanced Published 27 Mar 2026
Action Steps
  1. Train a speech tokenizer with a hybrid VQ-FSQ quantization scheme
  2. Adopt a hybrid architecture combining auto-regressive generation and flow-matching for token encoding and decoding
  3. Use the trained tokenizer to encode and decode semantic and acoustic tokens from reference audio
  4. Evaluate the generated speech using human evaluation metrics

Title: Voxtral TTS

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.25551v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce Voxtral TTS, an expressive multilingual text-to-speech model that generates natural speech from as little as 3 seconds of reference audio. Voxtral TTS adopts a hybrid architecture that combines auto-regressive generation of semantic speech tokens with flow-matching for acoustic tokens. These tokens are encoded and decoded with Voxtral Codec, a speech tokenizer trained from scratch with a hybrid VQ-FSQ quantization scheme. In human eval
