Woosh — Sony AI Sound-Effect Foundation Model (Mirror)

This repository is a community mirror of the open weights released by Sony Research for Woosh — a foundation model for sound-effect generation supporting text-to-audio (T2A) and video-to-audio (V2A) synthesis.

All files here are a one-to-one copy of Sony's v1.0.0 GitHub release , repackaged into a single browseable HF repo for convenience.

License — CC-BY-NC 4.0 (Non-Commercial)

All open weights in this repository are released by Sony Research under the CC-BY-NC 4.0 license. Generated outputs inherit the non-commercial restriction. You may not use model outputs in commercial products, paid releases, or client work. The upstream project's source code is released separately under MIT / Apache-2.0.

Model Suite

Woosh is a multi-model suite. All components are required together — the generative backbones depend on the shared AE, CLAP, and text conditioners at inference time.

Shared infrastructure

Generative backbones

Every weight file ships as safetensors . No .pt / .ckpt / .bin in this mirror.

Directory names match Sony's release zip layout exactly so the upstream inference code finds its configs without modification.

Usage

This mirror is intended to be consumed by Sony's upstream woosh package . Clone and install the upstream repo, then point it at a local copy of this mirror's checkpoints/ directory.

# Clone upstream
git clone https://github.com/SonyResearch/Woosh.git
cd Woosh

# Sony's suggested env setup (uses uv)
uv sync
uv pip install -e .

# Pull weights from this mirror
hf download AEmotionStudio/woosh-models --local-dir ./
