dots.tts: 2B-Parameter Continuous Autoregressive TTS Foundation Model
Introducing dots.tts, a 2B-parameter continuous autoregressive text-to-speech foundation model. It leverages AudioVAE, full-history conditioning, and self-corrective post-training for unparalleled performance on multilingual benchmarks, offering strong generation stability, voice cloning, and emotional expressiveness with efficient MeanFlow distillation.

Hyper-Epoch Pretraining (q0) for Data-Constrained Language Models
1Q Labs researchers introduce Hyper-Epoch Pretraining (q0), a conceptual shift from single-model training to exploring and aggregating a population of models. q0 uses cyclic schedules, chain distillation, and a learned prior to achieve significant data efficiency gains and lower validation loss in multi-epoch pretraining.

SCOPE: Self-Play via Co-Evolving Policies for Open-Ended Language Tasks
Introducing SCOPE, a data-free self-play framework for open-ended tasks that co-evolves a Challenger for task generation and a Solver for answering. It uses a self-judge to create rubrics and grade responses, improving 7-8B instruction-tuned models by up to +10.4 points on open-ended and +13.8 points on held-out QA benchmarks.

Scaling PEFT for Trillion-Parameter Personal Models
