● Qwen3-TTS-VoiceDesign is a voice design variant of Qwen3-TTS by Alibaba's Qwen team. Instead of selecting from preset voices, you describe the voice you want in natural language — and the model generates speech in that voice. Key capabilities: - Natural language voice control — describe any voice with free text (e.g. "a deep male voice with a calm, authoritative presence", "a young cheerful female with a warm and friendly tone") - 10 languages — English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese - Streaming support — real-time PCM streaming - Multiple output formats — WAV, MP3, FLAC, PCM Built on the same 1.7B parameter architecture as Qwen3-TTS, using discrete multi-codebook language modeling and a custom 12Hz acoustic tokenizer for high-quality end-to-end speech synthesis.

HTTP/cURL API

This is an advanced and more complex API. We strongly recommend that you use OpenAI Chat Completions instead.

Simple prompt

To query this model you need to provide a properly formatted input string.

curl "https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/inference/Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-VoiceDesign" \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -H "Authorization: Bearer $DEEPINFRA_TOKEN" \
   -d '{
     "input": "<|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>\n\nHello!<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>\n\n",
     "stop": []
   }'
copy

That will respond with

{
    "request_id": "RWZDRhS5kdoM1XWwXLEshynO",
    "inference_status": {
        "status": "succeeded",
        "runtime_ms": 243,
        "cost": 0.0000436,
        "tokens_input": 12,
        "tokens_generated": 25
    },
    "results": [
        {
            "generated_text": "Hello! It's nice to meet you. Is there something I can help you with or would you like to chat for a bit?"
        }
    ],
    "num_tokens": 25,
    "num_input_tokens":12
}
copy

Conversations

The OpenAI Chat Completions API is better suited for chat-like conversations, use it instead.

To query this model you need to provide a properly formatted input string.

However, you can still do it if you really need to. You have to add each response and each of the user prompts to every request. You need a properly formatted input string to make it understand the current context. See the example below for some of them. You can tweak it even further by providing a system message.

curl "https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/inference/Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-VoiceDesign" \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -H "Authorization: Bearer $DEEPINFRA_TOKEN" \
   -d '{
     "input": "<|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|>\n\nRespond like a michelin starred chef.<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>\n\nCan you name at least two different techniques to cook lamb?<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>\n\nBonjour! Let me tell you, my friend, cooking lamb is an art form, and I'"'"'m more than happy to share with you not two, but three of my favorite techniques to coax out the rich, unctuous flavors and tender textures of this majestic protein. First, we have the classic \"Sous Vide\" method. Next, we have the ancient art of \"Sous le Sable\". And finally, we have the more modern technique of \"Hot Smoking.\"<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>\n\nTell me more about the second method.<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>\n\n",
     "stop": []
   }'
copy

The conversation above might return something like the following

{
    "request_id": "RWZDRhS5kdoM1XWwXLEshynO",
    "inference_status": {
        "status": "succeeded",
        "runtime_ms": 243,
        "cost": 0.000436,
        "tokens_input": 149,
        "tokens_generated": 338
    },
    "results": [
        {
            "generated_text": "Sous le Sable, my friend! It's an ancient technique that's been used for centuries in the Middle East and North Africa. The name itself..."
        }
    ],
    "num_tokens": 338,
    "num_input_tokens": 149
}
copy

The longer the conversation gets, the more time it takes the model to generate the response. The conversation is limited by the context size of a model. Larger models also usually take more time to respond.


Streaming

To do a streaming request, just pass "stream": true:

curl "https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/inference/Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-VoiceDesign" \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -H "Authorization: Bearer $DEEPINFRA_TOKEN" \
   -d '{
     "input": "<|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>\n\nHello!<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>\n\n",
     "stop": [],
     "stream": true
   }'
copy

which outputs:

data: {"token": {"id": null, "text": "Hello", "logprob": 0.0, "special": false}, "generated_text": "", "details": null, "estimated_cost": null}

data: {"token": {"id": null, "text": "!", "logprob": 0.0, "special": false}, "generated_text": "", "details": null, "estimated_cost": null}

data: {"token": {"id": null, "text": " It", "logprob": 0.0, "special": false}, "generated_text": "", "details": null, "estimated_cost": null}

data: {"token": {"id": null, "text": "'s", "logprob": 0.0, "special": false}, "generated_text": "", "details": null, "estimated_cost": null}

....

data: {"token": {"id": null, "text": "", "logprob": 0.0, "special": false}, "generated_text": null, "details": {"finish_reason": "stop"}, "num_output_tokens": 25, "num_input_tokens": 12, "estimated_cost": 0.0000386}
copy

Input format

You can see below the basic format of the input. Bear in mind that newlines often matter.

<|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>

Hello!<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
copy

Conversation prompts contain the history of the exchanged prompts and responses.

<|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>

First question<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>

First answer<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>

Second question<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>

Second answer<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>

Final question<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
copy

If you want to add system prompt, it is done like this

<|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|>

System prompt<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>

First question<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>

First answer<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>

Second question<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>

Second answer<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>
