+# XY-Tokenizer: Mitigating the Semantic-Acoustic Conflict in Low-Bitrate Speech Codecs
+
+This repository contains the model presented in the paper [XY-Tokenizer: Mitigating the Semantic-Acoustic Conflict in Low-Bitrate Speech Codecs](https://huggingface.co/papers/2506.23325).
+
+The official code is available at [https://github.com/gyt1145028706/XY-Tokenizer](https://github.com/gyt1145028706/XY-Tokenizer).
+
+## Overview 🔍
+
+**XY-Tokenizer** is a novel speech codec designed to bridge the gap between speech signals and large language models by simultaneously **modeling both semantic and acoustic information**. It operates at a bitrate of **1 kbps** (1000 bps), using **8-layer Residual Vector Quantization (RVQ8)** at a **12.5 Hz** frame rate.
+
+At this ultra-low bitrate, **XY-Tokenizer** achieves performance comparable to state-of-the-art speech codecs that focus on only one aspect—either semantic or acoustic—while **XY-Tokenizer** performs strongly on both. For detailed information about the model and demos, please refer to our [paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2506.23325).
+
+## Highlights ✨
+
+-   **Low frame rate, low bitrate with high fidelity and text alignment**: Achieves strong semantic alignment and acoustic quality at 12.5Hz and 1kbps.
+
+-   **Multilingual training on the full Emilia dataset**: Trained on a large-scale multilingual dataset, supporting robust performance across diverse languages.
+
+-   **Designed for Speech LLMs**: Can be used for zero-shot TTS, dialogue TTS (e.g., [MOSS-TTSD](https://github.com/OpenMOSS/MOSS-TTSD)), and speech large language models.

+## News 📢
+
+-   **[2025-06-28]** We released the code and checkpoints of XY-Tokenizer. Check out our [paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2506.23325) and see the paper for demos!
+
+## Installation 🛠️
+
+To use XY-Tokenizer, you need to install the required dependencies. You can use either pip or conda to set up your environment.
+
+### Using conda
+
+```bash
+# Clone repository
+git clone git@github.com:gyt1145028706/XY-Tokenizer.git && cd XY-Tokenizer
+
+# Create and activate conda environment
+conda create -n xy_tokenizer python=3.10 -y && conda activate xy_tokenizer
+
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Available Models 🗂️
+
+| Model Name | Hugging Face | Training Data |
+|:----------:|:-------------:|:---------------:|
+| XY-Tokenizer | [🤗](https://huggingface.co/fdugyt/XY_Tokenizer) | Emilia |
+| XY-Tokenizer-TTSD-V0 (used in [MOSS-TTSD](https://github.com/OpenMOSS/MOSS-TTSD)) | [🤗](https://huggingface.co/fnlp/XY_Tokenizer_TTSD_V0/) | Emilia + Internal Data (containing general audio) |
+
+## Usage 🚀
+
+### Download XY Tokenizer
+
+You need to download the XY Tokenizer model weights. You can find the weights in the [XY_Tokenizer Hugging Face repository](https://huggingface.co/fdugyt/XY_Tokenizer).
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ./weights && huggingface-cli download fdugyt/XY_Tokenizer xy_tokenizer.ckpt --local-dir ./weights/
+```
+
+### Local Inference
+
+First, set the Python path to include this repository:
+```bash
+export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:./
+```
+
+Then you can tokenize audio to speech tokens and generate reconstructed audio from these tokens by running:
+```python
+python inference.py
+```
+
+The reconstructed audio files will be available in the `output_wavs/` directory.
