StepAudio 3 Gen Technical Report
StepAudio 3 Gen is a general‑purpose audio generation model that replaces diffusion with a discrete autoregressive generator over residual vector quantization tokens. Using a 16‑layer RVQ tokenizer and progressive pretraining, it reaches state‑of‑the‑art zero‑shot TTS and voice‑design performance while handling speech, vocals, sound effects, and music.
