A key highlight is DramaBox, a new model designed for prompt-directed voice acting with control over emotion and delivery. The release also features Confucius4-TTS for cross-lingual voice transfer and integrates several other models and ASR systems. Enhancements to platform support include early HIP/ROCm compatibility for AMD GPUs and performance improvements for Apple Silicon, alongside better live streaming and ingest features. AI
