This is a W8A8 INT8 quantized version of snorbyte/snorTTS-Indic-v0, a multilingual Indic Text-to-Speech (TTS) model capable of generating speech in nine Indic languages : Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Gujarati, and Bengali. As well as code switching also supported. You can combine any language and any speaker.

Quantization Details

Quantization Method: W8A8 INT8 (8-bit weights, 8-bit activations)
Quantization Framework: llmcompressor
Quantization Scheme: Dynamic per-token activation quantization with GPTQ
Calibration Dataset: snorbyte/indic-tts-sample-snac-encoded (512 samples)
Format: Compressed-tensors (compatible with vLLM)
