Dia 1.6B 0626

Dia 1.6B 0626 is the dated release used by Nari's Transformers examples. It retains the script-to-dialogue workflow and accepts reference audio for voice conditioning. The repository was created on 26 June 2025.

The processor handles text and audio together

The voice-conditioning example supplies audio and a transcript to the processor. It obtains the audio-prompt length before decoding the newly generated waveform. This keeps the reference prefix separate from the requested output.Dia-1.6B-0626 model card

The generation limit uses audio tokens

Nari's example sets max_new_tokens to 256 and describes this as roughly two seconds of audio. Treat this as an audio-generation setting, not a language-model context-window specification. The card uses 44.1 kHz reference audio in its example.Dia-1.6B-0626 model card

A new repository does not prove every claimed improvement

Practical guidance. The dated repository and integration examples establish this release's identity. They do not provide a complete comparison of its weights or speech quality against the April checkpoint. Compare both with the same script and reference recording when changing an existing workflow.
