+# Orpheus 3B 0.1 Finetuned
+
+**03/18/2025** – We are releasing our 3B Orpheus TTS model with additional finetunes. Code is available on GitHub: [CanopyAI/Orpheus-TTS](https://github.com/canopyai/Orpheus-TTS)
+
+---
+
+Orpheus TTS is a state-of-the-art, Llama-based Speech-LLM designed for high-quality, empathetic text-to-speech generation. This model has been finetuned to deliver human-level speech synthesis, achieving exceptional clarity, expressiveness, and real-time streaming performances.
+
+# Model Details
+
+### Model Capabilities
+
+- **Human-Like Speech**: Natural intonation, emotion, and rhythm that is superior to SOTA closed source models
+- **Zero-Shot Voice Cloning**: Clone voices without prior fine-tuning
+- **Guided Emotion and Intonation**: Control speech and emotion characteristics with simple tags
+- **Low Latency**: ~200ms streaming latency for realtime applications, reducible to ~100ms with input streaming
