Alibaba's Tongyi Lab released Qwen-Audio-3.0-TTS, a hosted text-to-speech model available in two tiers (Flash for real-time interaction and Plus for high quality) supporting 16 languages. The Plus variant ranks first on the Artificial Analysis leaderboard with an Elo rating near 1,236 and costs $27.59 per million characters.
