ArtificialAnlys · x · 2026-07-15

Alibaba's Qwen-Audio-3.0-TTS-Plus took first place on Artificial Analysis's Speech Arena 'Provider Voices' leaderboard with an Elo of 1236, slightly edging out Simba 3.2 (1234) and beating Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS and Sonic 3.5.

While this model delivers more natural pronunciation and context-aware intonation, it falls short on speed: generating 16 characters per second, notably slower than Simba 3.2 (30.2), Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS (27), and Sonic 3.5 (120).

Priced at $27.59 / 1 million characters via Alibaba Cloud Model Studio, it sits between Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS ($18.31) and Sonic 3.5 ($39.00), and is more expensive than Simba 3.2 ($10.00).
