I just followed the Quickstart[1] in the GitHub repo, refreshingly straight forward. Using the pip package worked fine, as did installing the editable version using the git repository. Just install the CUDA version of PyTorch[2] first.

The HF demo is very similar to the GitHub demo, so easy to try out.

  pip install torch torchvision --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128
  pip install qwen3-tts
  qwen-tts-demo Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base --no-flash-attn --ip 127.0.0.1 --port 8000

Skipped FlashAttention since I'm on Windows and I haven't gotten FlashAttention 2 to work there yet (I found some precompiled FA3 files[3] but Qwen3-TTS isn't FA3 compatible yet).
