    Phonon

    Phonon is Gradium’s family of streaming text-to-speech models for local applications. It turns text into mono 24kHz speech, including the audio decoding needed to produce a waveform. The 31M English model is Apache 2.0; the 40M single-language and multilingual models use CC BY-NC 4.0. Choose the variant and its use rights before comparing device costs.

    Hy-SimulMT

    Hy-SimulMT translates incoming Chinese or English speech while the speaker continues talking. Its translation model produces text; SimulInfer connects audio input, the model service and optional text-to-speech. Choose the standard checkpoint for translated text or Interleave for source transcription alongside the translation. Spoken output and voice cloning require a separate TTS service.
