Open-source AI is evolving insanely fast, but it’s hard to know which model is actually best for each use case. So I put together a list of the best open-source models across different categories Best Audio Generation Open Source Models # Text-to-Speech (TTS) * [Qwen3-TTS](https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen3-TTS) → Best overall balance (quality + speed) * [Kimi-Audio](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/Kimi-Audio) → Strong multimodal + expressive voices * [Fish Speech / Fish Audio S2](https://github.com/fishaudio/fish-speech) → Great for realistic voice cloning * [CosyVoice 3.0](https://github.com/FunAudioLLM/CosyVoice) → Very solid multilingual + streaming * [VibeVoice Realtime](https://github.com/microsoft/VibeVoice) → Best for real-time applications # Voice Cloning * [VoxCPM2](https://github.com/OpenBMB/VoxCPM) → High-quality cloning + supports many languages * [IndexTTS2](https://github.com/index-tts/index-tts) → Clean output + good stability * [Kokoro / KokoClone ](https://github.com/Ashish-Patnaik/kokoclone)→ Lightweight + fast cloning # Music Generation * [ACE-Step 1.5 ](https://github.com/ace-step/ACE-Step-1.5)→ Best open-source music generator right now * [Magenta Realtime](https://github.com/magenta/magenta-realtime) → Real-time music experiments * [Uni-MoE (Audio)](https://github.com/HITsz-TMG/Uni-MoE) → Multi-purpose audio generation # Multimodal Audio (Anything → Audio) * [AudioX / Audio-Omni](https://github.com/ZeyueT/Audio-Omni) → Most complete multimodal audio
