Since then, so many more great speech models have been released to the public. But the market is still dominated by closed source models. We think that's an inference problem. Existing systems such as vLLM / SGLang are not well suited for multimodal inference. To prove this, we built an inference engine specialized for Qwen3-TTS and open-sourced it ( https://ift.tt/Hm9kFQJ ).
