Mimi

Mimi is a neural audio codec. It converts speech into a sequence of compressed tokens and reconstructs sound from them. It is a component used by speech models, not a conversational model by itself.

Research release

The tokens retain speech content and sound

Mimi combines semantic and acoustic information. Its streaming encoder and decoder process short segments as they arrive. A language model can predict these tokens without generating a waveform sample by sample.mimi: Kyutai model card
