https://x.com/LiuXub/status/1863622470709690575 TAAE — the first Transformer-based Audio AutoEncoder scaled to 1B parameters for neural speech coding! 🔥 TAAE achieves state-of-the-art speech quality at ultra-low bitrates of 400 or 700 bits-per-second, delivering reconstruction quality remarkably close to real audio. It sets a new benchmark for efficient and high-quality speech tokenization. 📖 Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.19842v1 👂 Demos: https://stability-ai.github.io/stable-codec-demo/ 💻 GitHub: https://github.com/Stability-AI/stable-codec Code and pre-trained models will be released to empower the community!
