Fish Audio releases Drama 3, a 35B MoE speech synthesis model with 3B active parameters and a Hugging Face demo (community report)

Verified (fact)

According to a Reddit r/LocalLLaMA post, Fish Audio released the text-to-speech (TTS) model Drama 3. It uses a MoE architecture that activates only 3B of its 35B total parameters, and users can try a demo on a Hugging Face Space or download the model to run locally.

Needs fact-check (claim)

The poster said the model runs well on DGX Spark and that a 4-bit quantized version is very close to the original. These are not official benchmarks.

Why it matters (interpretation)

Releasing a MoE this large as open weights is unusual for a TTS model. It could be a new option for developers who want high-quality speech synthesis locally. The license and official performance figures need to be checked separately.
