| This repository is an independent MLX (Apple Silicon) port of **Maya 2 Native** by Maya Research. It is not an |
| official Maya Research release. |
|
|
| ## Maya 2 Native (model weights and code), Apache-2.0 |
|
|
| - Model: [maya-research/maya2-native](https://huggingface.co/maya-research/maya2-native), © Maya Research, |
| Apache-2.0 (`LICENSE`, copied unchanged from the release). |
| - Code: [MayaResearch/maya2-native](https://github.com/MayaResearch/maya2-native), commit `c6b3768`, Apache-2.0. |
| - Changes in this repository: |
| - The weights were re-laid out for MLX. |
| - `models/maya2-8bit` quantizes most backbone tensors, the token embeddings and the feedback table to 8 bits (the |
| recipe is in its `quant.json`). |
| - The inference code was rewritten for MLX in `maya2_mlx/`. |
| - `maya3/guards.py`, `maya3/assets/`, `maya3/text/`, `maya3/__init__.py` and `configs/text_frames_prior.json` are |
| copied unchanged from the official repository. |
| - Built-in voice names identify synthetic personas, not real people. Follow the original model card's intended-use |
| and responsible-deployment section: disclose synthetic speech, no impersonation or deception. |
| |
| ## Kyutai Mimi (audio codec weights), CC-BY-4.0 |
|
|
| - Model: [kyutai/mimi](https://huggingface.co/kyutai/mimi), © Kyutai, licensed under |
| [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). |
| - `models/*/mimi.safetensors` holds Mimi's decoder: the quantizer codebooks, the upsampler, the decoder transformer |
| and the SEANet decoder. |
| - Changes: convolution weights re-laid out for MLX, codebook embeddings stored as computed (embed_sum / cluster |
| usage), RoPE tables precomputed, encoder weights left out. Values are otherwise unchanged (fp32). |
| |
| ## Qwen3 (backbone architecture), Apache-2.0 |
| |
| The backbone has the Qwen3-1.7B architecture (Qwen team, Alibaba, Apache-2.0). Its weights here are Maya 2 Native's |
| trained weights, not Qwen's. |
