Fish Audio S2 is a next-generation text-to-speech model that brings unprecedented expressiveness to voice AI. Unlike traditional TTS systems that produce flat, robotic speech, S2 lets you control emotion, tone, and delivery using natural language instructions embedded directly in your text. The model is fully open-source, including both inference code and model weights, making it accessible for developers, researchers, and creators who want to build realistic voice applications without vendor lock-in.
Fish Audio S2 delivers speech generation in under 150ms, enabling seamless conversational AI, live dubbing, and interactive voice experiences. The SGLang-based inference engine supports continuous batching and prefix caching, making it production-ready without sacrificing quality.
You can direct the voice by adding simple tags like [whisper], [laughing nervously], or [professional broadcast tone] directly in your text. Over 15,000 unique tags are supported, giving you word-level control over emotion, emphasis, pitch, and paralanguage without needing complex parameters.
Switch between speakers naturally within one generation using the <|speaker:1|> syntax. This makes it easy to create realistic conversations, dramatic readings, or multi-character audio without stitching separate clips together.
Both the 4B-parameter semantic model and 400M-parameter acoustic model are released under the Fish Audio Research License. You can run S2 on your own hardware, fine-tune it on custom data, and integrate it without API dependencies or recurring costs.
"The most expressive voice AI ever made, now open-source."
Fish Audio S2 redefines what's possible with text-to-speech by treating voice direction as a natural language problem. Instead of choosing from a handful of preset emotions, you can describe exactly how you want the voice to sound — from a barely audible whisper to an excited shout — and the model interprets it correctly. Combined with multi-speaker support and 80+ language coverage, this makes S2 a genuine platform for building lifelike voice experiences, not just another TTS API.
You're building any application where voice quality and emotional authenticity matter — whether it's a conversational AI agent, a multilingual dubbing pipeline, or an interactive storytelling tool. Fish Audio S2 is especially valuable if you want full control over your voice infrastructure without being locked into a proprietary service.

TranslateGemma is a new suite of open AI translation models built on Google’s Gemma 3. It enables high-quality communication across 55 languages, combining strong accuracy with exceptional efficiency. Designed to run on mobile, local devices, and cloud environments without compromising performance.
Mistral 3 includes three state-of-the-art small, dense models (14B, 8B, and 3B) and Mistral Large 3 – our most capable model to date – a sparse mixture-of-experts trained with 41B active and 675B total parameters. All models are released under the Apache 2.0 license. The Ministral models represent the best performance-to-cost ratio in their category. At the same time, Mistral Large 3 joins the ranks of frontier instruction-fine-tuned open-source models.
Okara lets you use 30+ powerful open-source AI models without dealing with infrastructure setup. The best models like Kimi and DeepSeek are too big to run on your laptop, we handle that for you. Switch between models, search Google, Reddit, X, YouTube in your chats, analyze files, generate images, and work with your team. Everything's encrypted and we never train on your data
Whats 1Code? An app to run your Claude Code agents in parallel that works on Mac and Web. On Mac - run locally, with or without worktrees. On Web - run in remote sandboxes with live previews of your app, mobile included, so you can check on agents from anywhere. Running multiple Claude Codes in parallel dramatically sped up how we build features.
