# Inflect-Micro-v2 for AXera NPU

High-quality English TTS (VITS) optimized for **AX650 / AX620E / AX637** NPUs.

| Chip | Encoder | Decoder | Precision |
|------|---------|---------|-----------|
| **AX650** | NPU (axmodel) | NPU (axmodel) | U16 |
| **AX620E** | NPU (axmodel) | CPU (onnxruntime) | U16 |
| **AX637** | NPU (axmodel) | CPU (onnxruntime) | U16 |
