Abstract

Qwen3-TTS reports state-of-the-art zero-shot voice cloning, but its technical report leaves open how the model should be conditioned, how it behaves outside read speech, and how it fails. We characterise its two cloning interfaces, in-context learning (ICL) and X-Vector, against Chatterbox, XTTS-v2 and F5-TTS on read, meeting, emotional and air-traffic-control (ATC) speech, using eighteen objectiv
