SoulX-Singer-fp32
Apple MLX safetensors checkpoint for Soul-AILab/SoulX-Singer, including both SoulX-Singer SVS and SoulX-Singer-SVC weights.
Collection: https://huggingface.co/collections/mlx-community/soulx-singer-mlx-6a1c0525d0911ea400102840
This is not a pure end-to-end MLX audio runtime yet. The weights are converted to an MLX-friendly safetensors layout, while full audio generation currently uses the official PyTorch model structure through ailuntx/SoulX-Singer-MLX.

Validation
Local Apple Silicon validation:
| Test | Result |
|---|---|
Official PyTorch/MPS SVS, n_steps=1 | generated 6.71s WAV, 24kHz mono |
SoulX-Singer-fp32 component load | svs/ and svc/ safetensors are indexed and loadable |
bf16 PyTorch bridge SVS, n_steps=1 | generated 6.71s WAV, 24kHz mono, RMS about 0.029 |
For quantized checkpoints, the bridge loader dequantizes MLX affine tensors into the official PyTorch module shapes for compatibility testing. Native all-MLX inference is planned as a later runtime step.

The converted weights follow the upstream SoulX-Singer Apache-2.0 release.
