VoxCPM2 Technical Report

Abstract

We present VoxCPM2, a https://info.arxiv.org/help/prep#abstractsfully open-source multilingual and controllable speech generation foundation model that extends the hierarchical diffusion-autoregressive modeling paradigm of VoxCPM. VoxCPM2 advances the framework in three key dimensions: (i) capability, by unifying 30 languages, 9 Chinese dialects, natural-language voice design, style-controllable voice cloning, and high-fidelity continuation cloning within a single backbone; (ii) quality, through an asymmetric AudioVAE that encodes at 16 kHz and reconstructs at 48 kHz, enabling implicit super-resolution with high encoding efficiency; and (iii) scale, by jointly scaling the model to 2B parameters and the training data to over 2 million hours of multilingual speech. To support these diverse capabilities within one model, we introduce a unified sequence organization that expresses all generation modes through different arrangements of the same input building blocks, allowing joint training under a single set of parameters and objective. VoxCPM2 achieves state-of-the-art or competitive performance on public zero-shot and instruction-following TTS benchmarks. On our internal 30-language evaluation set, it attains an average WER of 1.68%. These results demonstrate that hierarchical continuous-latent modeling, without relying on any external discrete speech tokenizer, offers a viable and powerful foundation for large-scale multilingual and controllable speech generation. The model weights, fine-tuning code, and inference tools are publicly released under the Apache 2.0 license to foster community research and development.

MENASpeechBank: A Reference Voice Bank with Persona-Conditioned Multi-Turn Conversations for AudioLLMs

Audio large language models (AudioLLMs) enable instruction following over speech and general audio, but progress is limited by the scarcity of diverse, conversational, and instruction-aligned speech--text data. This gap is particularly pronounced for persona-grounded and dialectal interactions, where collecting real multi-speaker recordings remains costly and slow. We introduce MENASpeechBank, a reference speech bank comprising ~18K high-quality utterances from 124 speakers spanning multiple MENA countries, covering English, Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), and regional Arabic varieties. We develop a controllable data pipeline that (i) constructs persona profiles enriched with World Values Survey (WVS) inspired attributes, (ii) defines a taxonomy driven ~5Kconversational scenarios, (iii) matches personas to scenarios via semantic similarity, (iv) generates ~417K role-play conversations with an LLM where the user speaks as the persona and the assistant behaves as a helpful agent, and (v) produces speaker-conditioned user-turn audio (synthetic) from reference recordings to preserve speaker diversity. We evaluate synthetic and human recorded conversations and provide an analysis. We will make the MENASpeechBank available for the community.(\href{https://huggingface.co/datasets/QCRI/MenaSpeechBank)

A Training-Free Proactive Defense Against Partial Speech Manipulation via Self-Embedding Steganography

Partial deepfake speech, where only limited segments of an utterance are synthesized or manipulated, poses a significant challenge to existing deepfake detection systems. As the proportion of spoofed regions decreases, passive detectors become increasingly unreliable, and accurate detection and restoration remain challenging. In this paper, we revisit audio steganography from a new perspective and propose its use as a proactive defense against partially deepfaked audio. In particular, we consider a self-embedding strategy in which a clean speech signal embeds a compressed representation of itself, enabling post-hoc extraction of reference content. We demonstrate how existing audio steganography methods can be repurposed to support detection of partial deepfakes through codec-based restoration. Experiments on a benchmark dataset show that the proposed approach complements passive defenses. Remarkably, the proposed method operates without any training, providing a robust and data-efficient alternative for partial deepfake detection.

CPR: Combining global composing, local performing and full-sequence refining in piano rendering with continuous autoregressive modelling

Prompt-conditioned piano MIDI-to-Music rendering aims to faithfully render target notes while reproducing the timbre of a reference recording. Existing approaches primarily follow two paradigms: autoregressive (AR) modeling and flow matching (or diffusion). Discrete-codec AR models provide causal temporal modeling, but quantization can discard acoustic detail. Flow matching better preserves acoustic structure in the cost of full-sequence attention costs and worse semantic structure. Continuous autoregressive models operate directly on continuous representations. It not only combines the condition-following ability of AR models and distribution-modeling capacity of flow matching but also bypasses the quantization bottleneck with lower computational costs. Building on this principle, we present Composer--Performer--Refiner (CPR) framework. Composer autoregressively predicts continuous hidden states, Performer generates 24kHz acoustic latents through local flow matching and Refiner then upsamples the waveform to 48 kHz. We further introduce Bottlenecked Representation Alignment (BREPA) and Modality--Time RoPE (MT-RoPE) to strengthen musical semantic structure in Composer hidden states and temporal alignments across modalities.
