      "Fine-tuned from Edge0's own Audio8-TTS-Preview-0.6b (28 July 2026, Apache 2.0), whose slow branch is built on Qwen2.5 0.5B by the technical report. Realistic adds 12 languages to Preview's 11 and a realism-critic training stage (https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.14776)",
      "The card's evaluation tables (Seed-TTS 1.25% error and 0.704 SIM, CV3 nine languages 4.86%, MiniMax 24 languages 5.89%) are Edge0's own runs, and its comparison with other models mixes results from other reports with its own reevaluations. The technical report says the model leads on intelligibility, speaker similarity and naturalness. These are the publisher's claims (https://huggingface.co/Edge0/Audio8-TTS-Realistic-0.6b)",
      "The launch post's claim that it is currently #1 on the Hugging Face TTS Arena couldn't be checked. On 30 October 2026 the TTS Arena V2 Space (TTS-AGI/TTS-Arena-V2) answered 401 on Hugging Face and 404 at its own host, and it no longer appears in the TTS-AGI organisation's public Spaces. The card itself only says Audio8 is taking part and has had encouraging ratings. Neither the Open TTS Leaderboard (version 30-10-2026) nor Artificial Analysis's speech arena lists any Audio8 model (https://huggingface.co/spaces/hf-audio/open_tts_leaderboard)",
      "The technical report says the supervised training set combines cleaned Emilia and YODAS2 with a private collection. Emilia's dataset card says the original Emilia set is for non-commercial use under CC BY-NC 4.0 and Emilia-YODAS is CC BY 4.0; the report doesn't say which part was used. Edge0 releases the weights under Apache 2.0 (https://huggingface.co/datasets/amphion/Emilia-Dataset)",
      "Community conversions appeared within days, GGUF for audio.cpp, MLX at 4-bit, 8-bit and BF16 from nativ-community, and an ONNX INT4 export. None is Edge0's, and Edge0's README says there is no Realistic ONNX export (https://huggingface.co/api/models?search=Audio8-TTS-Realistic)"
