Bark is a transformer-based text-to-audio model created by Suno. Bark can generate highly realistic, multilingual speech as well as other audio - including music, background noise and simple sound effects. The model can also produce nonverbal communications like laughing, sighing and crying. To support the research community, we are providing access to pretrained model checkpoints ready for inference. The original github repo and model card can be found here. This model is meant for research purposes only. The model output is not censored and the authors do not endorse the opinions in the generated content. Use at your own risk. Two checkpoints are released: Try out Bark yourself! You can run Bark locally with the 🤗 Transformers library from version 4.31.0 onwards. Or save them as a .wav file using a third-party library, e.g. scipy: For more details on using the Bark model for inference using the 🤗 Transformers library,…

Compatibility and lineage
Reported languages: en, de, es, fr, hi, it, ja, ko, pl, pt, ru, tr, zh
Base-model lineage was not included.
Parameter count is not a RAM/VRAM requirement. Check precision, quantization, context length and runtime compatibility in the model card; no hardware or API-cost claim is inferred here.
Use and evaluate
Check license terms and access requirements first. Review the model card’s documented loading instructions, evaluations and safety limitations. Benchmark scores are not imported by this directory, and popularity is not an accuracy ranking.
No model weights are downloaded or executed by AltAPIs. Never enable remote model code without reviewing it.
