The audio.cpp project has released significant updates, introducing native C++/GGML support for several new audio models including ACE-Step, Stable Audio, HeartMuLa, RoFormer, and HTDemucs. This expansion enables music and SFX generation, as well as source separation, with some models now capable of generating up to 10 minutes of audio. Additionally, VibeVoice 1.5B has been integrated, demonstrating impressive performance for long-form TTS, generating 90 minutes of audio in under 23 minutes on an RTX 5090, significantly outperforming Python-based alternatives.

IMPACT Expands local audio model capabilities, offering faster inference for music, SFX, and long-form TTS compared to Python.
RANK_REASON This is a release of new models and features for a specific software project, audio.cpp, rather than a core AI model release from a major lab.
