// how it works

How it works

  1. Clarify your goal

    Decide the first concrete outcome you want from it, so you can pick the right example, template or mode instead of exploring everything at once.

  2. Get the project

    Clone the repository (or install the published package) and skim its README quick start for the requirements for your platform.

  3. Install and configure

    Run the documented install step and set any required configuration — such as provider keys, data sources or local services — before the first run.

  4. Run your first task

    Execute the smallest documented example end to end, confirm the output is what you expected, then adapt it to your real data or workflow.

// features

Why people love it

One model, three tasks

ASR, TTS and voice conversion in a single tiny model instead of three separate systems.

GPA-v1.5 mainline

Native inference and training pipelines with published TTS/ASR evaluation tables.

Edge-ready voice-cloning TTS

GPA-TTS ships INT8/FP16/FP32 and INT4 ONNX variants for constrained hardware.

ONNX Runtime interfaces

CLI, API and UI around the v1.5 ONNX runtime for easy integration.

Open releases

GPA-0.3B-preview and GPA-v1.5 checkpoints are released, with a public roadmap (deployment recipes and a native VC path are listed as next steps).

Unified architecture

An LLM-based design for both audio generation and understanding.

// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Clone the repository

    Get the source so you can inspect, configure and run it locally.

    git clone https://github.com/AutoArk/GPA.git
    cd GPA
  2. Get GPA

    Clone the repo and follow the GPA-v1.5 (GPA_1.5/) or GPA-TTS (GPA_TTS/) folder's own README for environment setup, checkpoints and inference commands.

    git clone https://github.com/AutoArk/GPA.git
    cd GPA  # see GPA_1.5/README.md or GPA_TTS/README.md for the exact commands
  3. Run inference

    Use the v1.5 ONNX Runtime CLI/API/UI or the GPA-TTS runtime as documented in their sub-READMEs.

    # see README for the exact command in GPA_1.5/ or GPA_TTS/

Questions, answered

Who maintains GPA?

It is maintained by AutoArk on GitHub (AutoArk/GPA), where the source, issues and releases live.

Is it free to use?

Yes — it is free and open source under Apache-2.0, which permits use, modification and commercial redistribution, with licence/notice retention.

Does it need a paid API key?

No — GPA runs locally from released checkpoints; there is no hosted API key involved.

How does it compare to separate specialist models for ASR, TTS and VC?

Compared with separate specialist models for ASR, TTS and VC, GPA's distinguishing focus is: gPA — one tiny model that does ASR, TTS and voice conversion (General Purpose Audio). Pick it when that focus matches your need; the alternative may suit you better if its broader or different scope is the priority.

How do I get started?

Clone https://github.com/AutoArk/GPA (or install its published package), follow the README quick start to install and configure it, then run the smallest documented example — the Run section on this page mirrors those steps.
