GPA v1.5: One Model for Speech Recognition, Text-to-Speech, and Voice Conversion

ArXiv

GitHub

Demo

TL;DR This is the main Hugging Face checkpoint repo for GPA v1.5. Use it for native PyTorch / Hugging Face inference and fine-tuning. Runtime-optimized ONNX assets are published separately at AutoArk-AI/GPA-v1.5-onnx-runtime.

What Is GPA v1.5?

GPA stands for General Purpose Audio.

GPA v1.5 is a unified autoregressive audio-language model for speech understanding and generation. It currently supports:

ASR: automatic speech recognition.
TTS: text-to-speech with reference voice conditioning.
Training / fine-tuning: native Hugging Face Trainer workflow.
Deployment path: ONNX runtime assets and service code for local CLI, FastAPI, and browser UI testing.

Voice conversion support in the native v1.5 path is on the roadmap.

_{GPA unifies speech understanding and generation in a single autoregressive audio-language model.}

Hugging Face and GitHub Mapping

This Hugging Face repo stores the large checkpoint assets. The code, examples, and docs live in the GitHub repo:

Goal	GitHub Entry Point	Hugging Face Assets
Native PyTorch / Hugging Face inference	`GPA_1.5/docs/infer.md`, `GPA_1.5/infer.py`	This repo: `AutoArk-AI/GPA-v1.5`
Fine-tuning / continued training	`GPA_1.5/docs/train.md`, `GPA_1.5/train.py`	This repo: `AutoArk-AI/GPA-v1.5`
ONNX CLI / FastAPI / browser UI runtime	`GPA_1.5/onnx_runtime/README.md`	`AutoArk-AI/GPA-v1.5-onnx-runtime`

Recommended Local Layout

For the least configuration, keep the checkpoint repos side by side:

text

GPA-v1.5/
GPA-v1.5-HF/
  GPA-v1.5/
    spark_tokenizer_model/
  GPA-v1.5-onnx-runtime/

What each path is used for:

GPA-v1.5-HF/GPA-v1.5: native PyTorch train / inference checkpoint.
GPA-v1.5-HF/GPA-v1.5/spark_tokenizer_model: Spark tokenizer assets used by native TTS.
GPA-v1.5-HF/GPA-v1.5-onnx-runtime: ONNX CLI / service / browser UI asset bundle.

With this layout, the native inference, training, and ONNX smoke tests can run without editing source paths.
