MOSS-TTS-Nano is an open-source multilingual tiny speech generation model from MOSI.AI and the OpenMOSS team. With only 0.1B parameters, it is designed for realtime speech generation, can run directly on CPU without a GPU, and keeps the deployment stack simple enough for local demos, web serving, and lightweight product integration.
MOSS-TTS-Nano focuses on the part of TTS deployment that matters most in practice: small footprint, low latency, good enough quality for realtime products, and simple local setup. It uses a pure autoregressive Audio Tokenizer + LLM pipeline and keeps the inference workflow friendly for both terminal users and web-demo users.
We recommend a clean Python environment first, then installing the project in editable mode so the moss-tts-nano command becomes available locally. The examples below intentionally keep arguments minimal and rely on the repository defaults. By default, the code loads OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-TTS-Nano and OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Audio-Tokenizer-Nano.
This repository keeps the direct Python entrypoint for local inference. The example below uses voice clone mode, which is the main recommended workflow for MOSS-TTS-Nano.
MOSS-Audio-Tokenizer is the unified discrete audio interface for the entire MOSS-TTS family. It is built on the Cat (Causal Audio Tokenizer with Transformer) architecture, a CNN-free audio tokenizer composed entirely of causal Transformer blocks. It serves as the shared audio backbone for MOSS-TTS, MOSS-TTS-Nano, MOSS-TTSD, MOSS-VoiceGenerator, MOSS-SoundEffect, and MOSS-TTS-Realtime, providing a consistent audio representation across the full product family.
To further improve perceptual quality while reducing inference cost, we trained MOSS-Audio-Tokenizer-Nano, a lightweight tokenizer with approximately 20 million parameters designed for high-fidelity audio compression. It supports 48 kHz input and output as well as stereo audio, which helps reduce compression loss and improve listening quality. It can compress 48 kHz stereo audio into a 12.5 Hz token stream and uses RVQ with 16 codebooks, enabling high-fidelity reconstruction across variable bitrates from 0.125 kbps to 4 kbps.
