No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
High linear decodability does not entail causal controllability in continuous-latent text-to-speech (TTS). In VoxCPM2, position-matched probes and equal-norm interventions across 30 speakers and 60 directed dyads expose this separation: reference-audio states at the final residual acoustic language model layer (RALM L7) retain 0.970 probe accuracy, yet aligned edits yield 0/60 target-dominant dyads. Edits at early reference-audio positions produce the opposite pattern. At L0, pair-aligned updates increase target similarity by 0.326 and achieve target dominance in all 60 dyads, against at most 1/60 under any equal-norm direction or position control. Independent speaker encoders, retrieval against held-out speaker prototypes, and double-blind listening confirm that the shifted voice is heard as the intended target. Cross-architecture interventions in dots.tts distinguish backbone leverage from direct acoustic control: backbone edits displace the source without target attraction, while x-vector ablation reduces source similarity from 0.849 to 0.006. These findings identify two requirements for training-free speaker control: geometric specificity and a computational route that carries the intended speaker condition into acoustic synthesis.
