Smallest AI's new Lightning 3.1 Pro checkpoint ranks #3 of 16 in US English 🇺🇸 and #1 of 10 in Hindi 🇮🇳 among real-time models on the Voice Arena TTS Leaderboards.

Lightning 3.1 Pro from @smallest_AI is a real-time TTS model built for scale. Every ranking on Voice Arena comes from blind, head-to-head votes by vetted native speakers, scored with Bradley-Terry Elo.

The new checkpoint scores 1046 Elo in US English and 1106 in Hindi, up 90 and 87 Elo on the previous Lightning 3.1 Pro, with clear statistical separation from it on both boards. With all models counted, it ranks #7 of 24 in US English and #2 of 21 in Hindi.

Results backed by 1,469 blind, head-to-head listener votes from native US English and Hindi speakers.

See below for both boards, the exact audio raters judged and unedited listener verdicts 🧵
