What stands out
What its maker marketed at launch, and what people found later, each with its source.
#1 open-weights TTS on Artificial Analysis
Found after launch
~1,206-1,215 Elo in the Artificial Analysis Speech Arena, ~90 points above Fish Audio S2 Pro, #6 overall at launch — the leading open-weights TTS as of Sept 2026.
Clone + design + direct in one 3B checkpoint, <40 ms TTFA
Voice cloning from reference audio, voice design from text descriptions, voice direction (tone/emotion keeping identity), vocal events (laughs, coughs); streaming TTFA under 40 ms on H100 with fast path, RTF 0.32.
Notes
Model card lists English + Chinese; the Artificial Analysis post mentions 50 languages (possibly the hosted model) — unresolved. Needs 12 GB VRAM (24 GB recommended), CUDA/Linux. Weights are NOT commercially usable without a BreezeBlue subscription.

Not yet checked against an official source: Some secondary blogs claim it is the ‘first open-weight model to beat ElevenLabs’ flagship’ — unverified and contradicted by the AA leaderboard (Eleven v4 far ahead).
