Maya Research has launched Maya 2 Native, a text-to-speech model supporting 11 Indic languages and English. The open-source weights and inference code are available under Apache-2.0, with 20 voices, streaming audio, and voice cloning from short reference recordings. Key features include 24 kHz mono audio, streaming capabilities, and support for voice cloning with 3-10 seconds of input.

The model can be installed using Python 3.10-3.12 and an NVIDIA GPU with CUDA 12.8. A Python API, OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and WebSocket streaming are provided, with steady-state latency of 111-242 ms and throughput of 323 seconds of audio per second on a H100 NVL 224. Evaluation shows 3.49% Character Error Rate across six thousand held-out texts, with good voice identity retention.

Assamese remains a challenging language. Feedback from developers is welcomed to prioritize improvements in future releases.
