llama.cpp Mainline Merges Qwen3-TTS for Native Local Voice Cloning
BTA_Labs · reddit · 2026-08-05
llama.cpp has officially merged Qwen3-TTS voice cloning support into its master branch. This allows developers to run local text-to-speech and voice cloning natively within the ubiquitous C++ inference runtime.
Supported features:
- Runs Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base in GGUF format
- Accepts WAV/MP3 files as speaker references
- Supports 10 languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
The author notes the main value is improved portability and ecosystem integration. Limitations remain, such as a draft server endpoint and lack of CustomVoice support. The community looks forward to cross-platform benchmarks for RTF, RAM usage, and voice similarity.
