## Introduction

Kimi-Audio is designed as a universal audio foundation model capable of handling a wide variety of audio processing tasks within a single unified framework. Key features include:

*   **Universal Capabilities:** Handle diverse tasks like automatic speech recognition (ASR), audio question answering (AQA), automatic audio captioning (AAC), speech emotion recognition (SER), sound event/scene classification (SEC/ASC), and end-to-end speech conversation.
*   **State-of-the-Art Performance:** Achieve SOTA results on numerous audio benchmarks (see [Evaluation](#evaluation) and the [Technical Report](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2504.18425)).
*   **Large-Scale Pre-training:** Pre-train on over 13 million hours of diverse audio data (speech, music, sounds) and text data, enabling robust audio reasoning and language understanding.
*   **Novel Architecture:** Employ a hybrid audio input (continuous acoustic vectors + discrete semantic tokens) and an LLM core with parallel heads for text and audio token generation.
*   **Efficient Inference:** Feature a chunk-wise streaming detokenizer based on flow matching for low-latency audio generation.
*   **Open-Source:** Release the code and model checkpoints for both pre-training and instruction fine-tuning, and release a comprehensive evaluation toolkit to foster community research and development.

## Architecture Overview

<p align="center">
    <img src="assets/kimia_framework.png" width="70%"/>
<p>

Kimi-Audio consists of three main components:

1.  **Audio Tokenizer:** Converts input audio into:
    *   Discrete semantic tokens (12.5Hz) using vector quantization.
    *   Continuous acoustic features derived from a Whisper encoder (downsampled to 12.5Hz).
2.  **Audio LLM:** A transformer-based model (initialized from a pre-trained text LLM like Qwen 2.5 7B) with shared layers processing multimodal inputs, followed by parallel heads for autoregressively generating text tokens and discrete audio semantic tokens.
3.  **Audio Detokenizer:** Converts the predicted discrete semantic audio tokens back into high-fidelity waveforms using a flow-matching model and a vocoder (BigVGAN), supporting chunk-wise streaming with a look-ahead mechanism for low latency.

## Getting Started

### Step1: Get the Code

```bash
git clone https://github.com/MoonshotAI/Kimi-Audio.git
cd Kimi-Audio
git submodule update --init --recursive
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Kimi‑Audio can now be installed directly via **pip**.
```bash
pip install torch
pip install git+https://github.com/MoonshotAI/Kimi-Audio.git
```

## Quick Start

This example demonstrates basic usage for generating text from audio (ASR) and generating both text and speech in a conversational turn.

```python
import soundfile as sf
from kimia_infer.api.kimia import KimiAudio

# --- 1. Load Model ---
model_path = "moonshotai/Kimi-Audio-7B-Instruct" 
model = KimiAudio(model_path=model_path, load_detokenizer=True)

# --- 2. Define Sampling Parameters ---
sampling_params = {
    "audio_temperature": 0.8,
    "audio_top_k": 10,
    "text_temperature": 0.0,
    "text_top_k": 5,
    "audio_repetition_penalty": 1.0,
    "audio_repetition_window_size": 64,
    "text_repetition_penalty": 1.0,
    "text_repetition_window_size": 16,
}

# --- 3. Example 1: Audio-to-Text (ASR) ---
messages_asr = [
    # You can provide context or instructions as text
    {"role": "user", "message_type": "text", "content": "Please transcribe the following audio:"},
    # Provide the audio file path
    {"role": "user", "message_type": "audio", "content": "test_audios/asr_example.wav"}
]

# Generate only text output
_, text_output = model.generate(messages_asr, **sampling_params, output_type="text")
print(">>> ASR Output Text: ", text_output) # Expected output: "这并不是告别，这是一个篇章的结束，也是新篇章的开始。"


# --- 4. Example 2: Audio-to-Audio/Text Conversation ---
messages_conversation = [
    # Start conversation with an audio query
    {"role": "user", "message_type": "audio", "content": "test_audios/qa_example.wav"}
]

# Generate both audio and text output
wav_output, text_output = model.generate(messages_conversation, **sampling_params, output_type="both")

# Save the generated audio
output_audio_path = "output_audio.wav"
sf.write(output_audio_path, wav_output.detach().cpu().view(-1).numpy(), 24000) # Assuming 24kHz output
print(f">>> Conversational Output Audio saved to: {output_audio_path}")
print(">>> Conversational Output Text: ", text_output) # Expected output: "当然可以，这很简单。一二三四五六七八九十。"

# --- 5. Example 3: Audio-to-Audio/Text Conversation with Multiturn ---

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "message_type": "audio", "content": "test_audios/multiturn/case2/multiturn_q1.wav"},
    # This is the first turn output of Kimi-Audio
    {"role": "assistant", "message_type": "audio-text", "content": ["test_audios/multiturn/case2/multiturn_a1.wav", "当然可以，这很简单。一二三四五六七八九十。"]},
    {"role": "user", "message_type": "audio", "content": "test_audios/multiturn/case2/multiturn_q2.wav"}
]
wav, text = model.generate(messages, **sampling_params, output_type="both")


# Generate both audio and text output
wav_output, text_output = model.generate(messages_conversation, **sampling_params, output_type="both")

# Save the generated audio
output_audio_path = "output_audio.wav"
sf.write(output_audio_path, wav_output.detach().cpu().view(-1).numpy(), 24000) # Assuming 24kHz output
print(f">>> Conversational Output Audio saved to: {output_audio_path}")
print(">>> Conversational Output Text: ", text_output) # Expected output: "没问题，继续数下去就是十一十二十三十四十五十六十七十八十九二十。"

print("Kimi-Audio inference examples complete.")


```

## Evaluation

Kimi-Audio achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance across a wide range of audio benchmarks. 

The below is the overall performance:

## Finetune

We release the pre-trained model and the lightweight finetune codes. Please refer to the [finetune_codes/README.md](finetune_codes/README.md) for more details.

## Evaluation Toolkit

Evaluating and comparing audio foundation models is challenging due to inconsistent metrics, varying inference configurations, and a lack of standardized generation evaluation. To address this, we developed and open-sourced an **Evaluation Toolkit**.

Key features:
*   Integrates Kimi-Audio and other recent audio LLMs.
*   Implements standardized metric calculation and integrates LLMs for intelligent judging (e.g., for AQA).
*   Provides a unified platform for side-by-side comparisons with shareable inference 'recipes' for reproducibility.
*   Includes a benchmark for evaluating speech conversation abilities (control, empathy, style).

We encourage the community to use and contribute to this toolkit to foster more reliable and comparable benchmarking. Find it here: [Kimi-Audio-Evalkit](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/Kimi-Audio-Evalkit).

## Generation Testset

We collect and release [Kimi-Audio-Generation-Testset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/moonshotai/Kimi-Audio-GenTest), which is designed to benchmark and evaluate the conversational capabilities of audio-based dialogue models. It consists of a collection of audio files containing various instructions and conversational prompts. The primary goal is to assess a model's ability to generate not just relevant, but also appropriately styled audio responses. The language in dataset is Chinese.
