-LayaCodec: A High-Fidelity Open-Source Codec for Foundational Generative AI

-Coming soon...
+LayaCodec: Rapid, High-Fidelity Audio Compression: Reaching the Pareto Frontier in Neural Audio Codecs
+
+
+This is a neural audio codec/tokenizer that encodes 16khz at a rate from 12.5 t/s to 50 t/s using a single 8192 size codebook and decodes it into 44.1khz audio.
+This allows for much faster and scalable TTS models compared to othern modern codecs for several reasons.
+1. **Much**lower token rates than other single pass codecs such as Xcodec2(50 t/s), Snac(83 t/s), Dac(774 t/s), etc.
+2. **Much** smaller codebook size(8192) compared to Xcodec2(65536) for faster TTS model training speed
+3. Over 40x faster then most diffusion based codecs allowing for **much** simpler and larger scale TTS models where codecs are not the bottleneck.
+4. Decodes audio into 44.1khz which is much higher quality then the common 24khz or 16khz sampling rate.
+
+This is still W.I.P, it has only seen a few hundred hours of training data but surprisingly good quality. It will still need some more training.

+Thanks very much to the authors of FocalCodec and Anime-XCodec2.
