On October 20, 2026, Ant Ling (inclusionAI) open-sourced the Ming-3.0 speech series on GitHub, offering three series—speech synthesis, audio understanding and dialogue, and speech recognition—for a total of five models. Among them, Ming-3.0-tts includes a 0.5B dense version and a tiny MoE version based on Ling V3 with 7.9B total parameters and 1.3B activated parameters, supporting voice cloning, text-designed timbres, and multilingual synthesis; Ming-3.0-audio-flash uses a 126B-parameter MoE architecture with 6.5B activated parameters, and there is also a tiny version with 9.3B parameters and 2.7B activated parameters, covering multi-dialect accent recognition, long audio understanding, and end-to-end speech dialogue, under the MIT license. On the same day, vLLM announced that vLLM-Omni would provide support on the day of release, and Ant Ling thanked it and said deployment would be more convenient; atomic.chat will also integrate Ming-3.0 into local AI workflows. Artificial Analysis published an evaluation stating that Ming-3.0-tts ranks first among open-weight models in the controlled speech TTS Arena, and its pronunciation robustness of 93.2% ties for first among 31 models. On October 22, a blogger said they planned to trial-run the 0.5B version locally; on October 23, Artificial Analysis said it achieved top-tier TTS quality with 0.5B parameters.

Ant Group's Ming-3.0-tts achieves top-tier speech synthesis quality with 0.5B parameters
Ant Group has released Ming-3.0-tts, which achieves top-tier text-to-speech quality with 0.5B parameters and is released under the MIT license. Artificial Analysis says it is the only model among the top three on its speech synthesis leaderboard with fewer than 1B parameters; among the top ten of the Controlled Voice Arena, the other open-weight TTS models are all 3.5B or larger, and Ming-3.0-tts reaches the same tier with 7 to 70 times fewer parameters.

Blogger plans to run Ming-3.0-tts locally as a reading and dubbing assistant
The blogger plans to run the 0.5B Ming-3.0-tts voice synthesis and cloning model locally, to make a book-reading assistant for his son and German dubbing for videos. The reading assistant supports reading through the whole text and giving prompts at pauses or in specified areas; the dubbing solution combines ASR and multimodal video understanding to generate German dubbing and synchronize it with the visuals. He plans to put it into daily use in a week and open-source it.

Ant Group's inclusionAI open-sources the Ming-3.0-audio-flash native audio model
Ant Group's inclusionAI has open-sourced the Ming-3.0-audio-flash native audio model on GitHub. It uses a 126B-parameter MoE architecture with 6.5B activated parameters, and there is also a Ming-3.0-audio-tiny version with 9.3B parameters and 2.7B activated parameters. The models cover Chinese and English recognition across multiple dialects and accents, long audio understanding, audio reasoning, and end-to-end speech dialogue. They support three inference methods: vLLM-Omni, SGLang, and Transformers, and are released under the MIT license.
