# 🎉 Higgs Audio v3 is here — you no longer need this repo!

### **👉 Don't clone this repository to use the latest model.**

**Higgs Audio v3** is a standalone release and does **not** depend on the code here.
Just grab the weights or call the hosted API:

### 🤗 **[Hugging Face — bosonai/higgs-audio-v3-tts-4b](https://huggingface.co/bosonai/higgs-audio-v3-tts-4b)**
### 📖 **[Boson AI API — docs.boson.ai/models/higgs-audio-tts](https://docs.boson.ai/models/higgs-audio-tts/overview)**

_Conversational TTS across 100+ languages · zero-shot voice cloning · inline emotion / style / prosody control._

## Use Higgs Audio v3

### Option 1 — Boson AI API (no setup, no GPU)

Free, rate-limited public preview. Get a key at [boson.ai/workspace](https://boson.ai/workspace).

```bash
export BOSON_API_KEY=bai-xxxx

curl https://api.boson.ai/v1/audio/speech \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BOSON_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "higgs-audio-v3-tts", "input": "Hello, this is a test."}' \
  --output out.mp3
```

OpenAI-compatible; supports preset voices, zero-shot cloning, and streaming. Full reference: **[API docs](https://docs.boson.ai/models/higgs-audio-tts/overview)**.

### Option 2 — Self-host the open weights

Weights: **[bosonai/higgs-audio-v3-tts-4b](https://huggingface.co/bosonai/higgs-audio-v3-tts-4b)**. We recommend serving with **[SGLang-Omni](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang-omni)**:

```bash
export HF_TOKEN=hf_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
hf download bosonai/higgs-audio-v3-tts-4b

sgl-omni serve --model-path bosonai/higgs-audio-v3-tts-4b --port 8000
```

Serving, voice-cloning, and streaming recipes are in the [model card](https://huggingface.co/bosonai/higgs-audio-v3-tts-4b) and the [SGLang-Omni cookbook](https://sgl-project.github.io/sglang-omni/cookbook/higgs_tts.html).

> [!NOTE]
> Higgs Audio v3 is released under the **Boson Higgs Audio v3 Research and Non-Commercial License**. Production / hosted / revenue-generating use requires a separate commercial license.
