Qwen3 TTS 12Hz 1.7B Base — MLX bf16

Full-precision bf16 (non-quantized) MLX conversion of Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base for Apple Silicon inference — the highest-quality 1.7B variant.

Usage

Used by speech-swift Qwen3TTS module:

let model = try await Qwen3TTSModel.fromPretrained(
    modelId: "aufklarer/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base-MLX-bf16"
)
let audio = try model.synthesize("Hello, world!")
audio speak "Hello, world!" --model 1.7b -o output.wav
