abstract
We introduce EzAudio, a text-to-audio (T2A) generation framework designed to produce high-quality, natural-sounding sound effects. Core designs include: (1) We propose EzAudio-DiT, an optimized Diffusion Transformer (DiT) designed for audio latent representations, improving convergence speed, as well as parameter and memory efficiency. (2) We apply a classifier-free guidance (CFG) rescaling technique to mitigate fidelity loss at higher CFG scores and enhancing prompt adherence without compromising audio quality. (3) We propose a synthetic caption generation strategy leveraging recent advances in audio understanding and LLMs to enhance T2A pretraining. We show that EzAudio, with its computationally efficient architecture and fast convergence, is a competitive open-source model that excels in both objective and subjective evaluations by delivering highly realistic listening experiences. Code, data, and pre-trained models are released at: https://haidog-yaqub.github.io/EzAudio-Page/.

Audex unifies audio understanding and generation on a strong text MoE backbone with multi-stage SFT plus text-only Cascade RL, matching open SOTA audio scores while mostly retaining text capability.
ALM2Vec learns unified audio embeddings from large audio-language models for text-audio retrieval, instruction-aware retrieval, and other tasks across domains.
A one-step text-to-audio model using energy-distance training and contextual distillation outperforms prior fast baselines on AudioCaps and achieves up to 8.5x faster inference than the multi-step IMPACT system with competitive quality.
