Catalogue identity notes

MagpieTTS Multilingual v2607, the checkpoint on the main branch of nvidia/magpie_tts_multilingual_357m (card at 1980687: "July 21, 2026: MagpieTTS v2607 was released", 12 languages, "364M parameters"). Earlier checkpoints are separate releases: v2602 (tag v2602, "March 3, 2026", 9 languages) and v2512 (January 2026, 357M parameters). This entry was previously dated 2026-02 after the v2602 label, but nothing in the catalogue is tied to v2602 (no results, no API), and NVIDIA's NeMo-Speech.cpp runtime downloads the v2607 GGUF, so the entry now describes v2607.

Each result implies a score on its own, after adjusting for how hard its test is and who ran it. The score is their weighted average, with a small pull toward the middle for thinly tested models. Each test's weight is its counts column above; here it's added up by who ran the tests. How it works
