CSM (Conversational Speech Model)

CSM is a conversational speech generation model by SesameAILabs. It generates RVQ audio codes from text and audio inputs using a Llama backbone for language processing and a specialized audio decoder to produce Mimi audio codes, enabling interactive conversational speech synthesis.
