Adding Voice Cloning to Text-to-Audio-Video Models with a Single Zero-Initialised Layer

Text-to-audio-video (T2AV) generation models produce a video and its soundtrack from a textual description, but offer no control over whose voice speaks in the output. We show that a base T2AV model can be turned into a voice-cloning model by adding a single zero-initialized linear layer on top of its audio backbone, fine-tuning for a comparatively short training schedule, and conditioning on a short reference recording at inference time. The reference is injected through two complementary signals: its diffusion latents are prepended to the audio stream, and a global speaker embedding modulates token of the target audio. On a benchmark of 674 speaker-text pairs spanning 30 speakers we compare against five strong voice-cloning text-to-speech baselines: our enhanced 5B model attains the highest speaker-encoder cosine similarity (SECS) across three independent verification networks (ECAPA-TDNN, WavLM-SV, Resemblyzer), statistically significantly outperforming every baseline. A side product of the architecture is that the audio path can be evaluated without the video path at inference time, yielding a ~30x speed-up over the full audio-video diffusion loop while preserving the voice-cloning behaviour.

Kandinsky 5.0: A Family of Foundation Models for Image and Video Generation

This report introduces Kandinsky 5.0, a family of state-of-the-art foundation models for high-resolution image and 10-second video synthesis. The framework comprises three core line-up of models: Kandinsky 5.0 Image Lite - a line-up of 6B parameter image generation models, Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite - a fast and lightweight 2B parameter text-to-video and image-to-video models, and Kandinsky 5.0 Video Pro - 19B parameter models that achieves superior video generation quality. We provide a comprehensive review of the data curation lifecycle - including collection, processing, filtering and clustering - for the multi-stage training pipeline that involves extensive pre-training and incorporates quality-enhancement techniques such as self-supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning (RL)-based post-training. We also present novel architectural, training, and inference optimizations that enable Kandinsky 5.0 to achieve high generation speeds and state-of-the-art performance across various tasks, as demonstrated by human evaluation. As a large-scale, publicly available generative framework, Kandinsky 5.0 leverages the full potential of its pre-training and subsequent stages to be adapted for a wide range of generative applications. We hope that this report, together with the release of our open-source code and training checkpoints, will substantially advance the development and accessibility of high-quality generative models for the research community.

ISyNet: Convolutional Neural Networks design for AI accelerator

In recent years Deep Learning reached significant results in many practical problems, such as computer vision, natural language processing, speech recognition and many others. For many years the main goal of the research was to improve the quality of models, even if the complexity was impractically high. However, for the production solutions, which often require real-time work, the latency of the model plays a very important role. Current state-of-the-art architectures are found with neural architecture search (NAS) taking model complexity into account. However, designing of the search space suitable for specific hardware is still a challenging task. To address this problem we propose a measure of hardware efficiency of neural architecture search space - matrix efficiency measure (MEM); a search space comprising of hardware-efficient operations; a latency-aware scaling method; and ISyNet - a set of architectures designed to be fast on the specialized neural processing unit (NPU) hardware and accurate at the same time. We show the advantage of the designed architectures for the NPU devices on ImageNet and the generalization ability for the downstream classification and detection tasks.
