Actually amazing codec by FAIR
Links [1] [2]
- 10-20x slower than OPUS on 1 CPU thread - RTF of ~1x or ~10x (only decoding)
- Trained ... on 8 x A100
- Is an encoder-decoder model
- Streamable for 24 kHz, non-streamable for 48 kHz
- What is the deal if it is 10-100x slower? It has similar quality for ~6 kbps bitrate compared to 24 kbps bitrate of OPUS. Opus degrades drastically with 6-12 kbps
