VibeVoice-1.5B GGUF

GGUF conversion of microsoft/VibeVoice-1.5B for use with CrispASR .

This is the base model (not the streaming variant). It supports voice cloning from audio samples and multi-speaker synthesis.

Model variants

Usage

Requires a voice reference audio (WAV file, 24 kHz mono) for voice cloning:

# Voice cloning TTS
VIBEVOICE_VOICE_AUDIO=reference_voice.wav \
crispasr --tts "Hello, how are you today?" \
    -m vibevoice-1.5b-tts-q4_k.gguf \
    --tts-output output.wav

Architecture

Single-LM architecture (differs from the streaming Realtime-0.5B):

• LM : Qwen2.5-1.5B (d=1536, 28 layers, 12 heads, 2 KV heads)
• Prediction head : 4 AdaLN + SwiGLU layers (d=1536)
• Acoustic encoder : 7-stage ConvNeXt (3200x downsample from 24kHz)
• Semantic encoder : same architecture, 128-dim latent
• Decoder : 7-stage transposed ConvNeXt (3200x upsample)
• DPM-Solver++ : 20-step, cosine schedule, v-prediction

The model generates speech tokens autoregressively — the LM produces <|vision_pad|> (speech_diffusion) tokens that trigger diffusion sampling, with <|vision_start|> / <|vision_end|> as control tokens.
