Maya1
Apache-2.0Design a voice from a text description, not a reference clip
Maya1 from Maya Research skips voice cloning entirely: you describe the voice you want in natural language and it designs one from scratch, with over 20 inline emotion tags — laugh, sigh, whisper, and more — for expressive delivery. Served through vLLM it hits sub-100ms latency, making it viable for live, interactive use.
