LFM3-Audio-2B

Integrated 18 languages 2 voices Mac · Linux Default

Liquid AI’s audio model in one piece. The same model listens, decides what to say and speaks, so there is no pipeline to choose. The smallest way to start, on a Mac or on Linux.

Recommended device

Apple Silicon Mac

  • 8 GB of memory or more
  • macOS 13.3 or later
  • Echo cancellation is built in, so headphones are optional
  • The voice runs on llama.cpp b11960

x86-64 Linux PC

  • About 6 GiB of memory, Boubou’s estimate
  • glibc 2.38 or later, such as Ubuntu 24.04
  • No GPU needed: the model runs on the CPU
  • Echo cancellation is built in, so headphones are optional

Memory needs are estimates. Boubou checks the machine before it downloads anything, and smaller machines still need testing. On arm64 Linux, build Boubou from source.

Voices

2 voices

Press a voice to hear it. Each clip is the pinned model reading one sentence in that voice’s language.

Speech synthesis voices

Boubou’s conversation prompt does not choose a voice, so it is not fixed. llama-tts uses female unless told otherwise.

It answers

Boubou owns the microphone and speakers. Apple voice processing on a Mac, or WebRTC AEC3 on Linux, cancels echo, so you can talk over a reply.

License

LFM Open License. Read the license. Weights keep their own licenses; check them before commercial use.

Sources and files

Every file must match its SHA-256 before Boubou uses it.
