**AudioVAE V2 generates native 48kHz speech by conditioning the decoder on the target sample rate through learned bucket-specific transformations, eliminating the need for external resampling libraries.**

The OpenBMB/VoxCPM repository implements AudioVAE V2 as a neural audio codec that encodes 16kHz speech into a compressed latent representation while decoding directly to 48kHz. This architecture achieves native 48kHz speech output through internal sample-rate conditioning mechanisms that adapt the decoder's spectral characteristics to match high-frequency
