Fish Audio open-sources Drama 3 weights: is voice AI having its DeepSeek moment?
False-Tree1980 · reddit · 2026-10-20
Fish Audio released the weights of its Drama 3 TTS model (Fish Audio Community License, not fully open source). Standout feature: you can direct performance in plain language, changing delivery even mid-sentence. The thread asks whether open-weight models closing in on expressive dialogue erode the quality moat of closed players like ElevenLabs, shifting competition to speed, reliability, and convenience—and what cheap, editable dialogue means for voice actors trying to break in via small gigs. Is this voice AI's DeepSeek moment, or a good demo that won't hold up in production?
