Drama 3’s Upgraded Weights Top Voice Charts
Fish Audio’s refreshed Drama 3 weights rank #1 among open-weight models and #6 overall on Artificial Analysis’ Provider Voice leaderboard, while also leading the Controlled Voice category. The update adds 38 Elo points over Preview in Provider Voice and 22 in Controlled Voice.
Drama 3 is becoming a credible open-weight alternative for expressive, controllable TTS, though benchmark gains do not automatically guarantee lower latency or easier deployment.
- –Stronger results across both native-voice quality and instruction-following evaluations
- –Open-weight access gives developers more control than proprietary voice APIs
- –Its 35B-A3B MoE architecture delivers capability at the cost of substantial GPU requirements
- –Multi-speaker scenes, voice cloning, long-form speech, and scoped delivery tags broaden production use cases
- –Commercial self-hosting remains license-dependent, especially for larger businesses or hosted services
