Key points

  • Drama 3 pairs the hybrid linear-attention backbone with a new codebook multi-token-prediction audio decoder that predicts the acoustic codebooks of each frame in dedicated layers that attend over the entire sequence.
  • This week, Fish Audio released Fish Audio Drama 3.
  • Drama 3 is a text-to-speech model from Fish Audio that takes plain-language acting direction.
  • AI voice acting you can direct, not just generate
