+# Orpheus 3B 0.1 Pretrained
+
+**03/18/2025** – We are releasing our 3B Orpheus TTS model with additional finetunes. Code is available on GitHub: [CanopyAI/Orpheus-TTS](https://github.com/canopyai/Orpheus-TTS)
+
+---
+
+Orpheus TTS is a state-of-the-art, Llama-based Speech-LLM designed for high-quality, empathetic text-to-speech generation. This model is the base model that can be used for many downstream tasks, like TTS, Zero-shot voice cloning and classification.
+
+We're also releasing the training code so you can create custom finetunes of this model for your own use cases.
+
+# Model Details
+
+### Model Capabilities
+
+- **Human-Like Speech**: Minimally fine-tune to produce natural intonation, emotion, and rhythm that is superior to SOTA closed source models
+- **Zero-Shot Voice Cloning**: Clone voices without prior fine-tuning
+
+
+### Model Sources
