Ming-3.0-audio-tiny is a 9.3B MoE with speech input/output and 2.7B active parameters

Ant’s new Ming-3.0-audio-tiny is the smaller checkpoint in its open native-audio family. It accepts audio plus text instructions, and returns text with optional synthesized speech.

The size is 9.3B total parameters, with 2.7B active. Tiny’s non-thinking results include 99.20 on BigBenchAudio, 75.90 on MMAU and 74.29 on VoiceBench. The benchmark table separates it from the much larger Flash model, which has 126B total and 6.5B active parameters.

The released tiny deployment options include SGLang-Omni with its components colocated on one GPU. Its vLLM example separates the Thinker and Talker across two GPUs for speech output; the Thinker-only example uses one GPU for text responses.

Weights and code are MIT-licensed. It is another open model to evaluate for spoken interaction, with audio input and speech output built into the model family.
