Do Compact SSL Backbones Matter for Audio Deepfake Detection? A Controlled Study with RAPTOR
Paper • 2603.06164 • Published
We are excited to release DF Arena 1B Universal Antispoofing model 🔥trained on traditional speech antispoofing datasets in addition to singing and environmental deepfake data. Check out the release on DF Arena leaderboard
from transformers import pipeline
import librosa
#load model
pipe = pipeline("antispoofing", model="Speech-Arena-2025/DF_Arena_1B_V_1", trust_remote_code=True, device='cuda')
audio, sr = librosa.load("sample.wav", sr=16000)
result = pipe(audio)
print(result)
# Output:
