audio.cpp One-Click Windows Installer - Run 49 Local Audio AI Models

Run 49 local audio AI model families on Windows from a single native engine — with no Python, no Conda, and no dependency hell. This one-click installer sets up audio.cpp (the "llama.cpp for audio") plus a ready-to-use WebUI in one double-click.

One engine, dozens of tasks: text-to-speech, voice cloning, speech recognition and transcription, voice conversion, speaker diarization, VAD, source separation, alignment, and music generation — all through the same runtime.

What the installer does: checks your GPU and installs the CUDA build if your card supports it (falling back to CPU automatically), downloads upstream's own signed release straight from GitHub, verifies every file against its published SHA-256, confirms the binary actually runs on your machine, then sets up the WebUI and models folder. Downloads are resumable and the whole thing is safe to re-run — a dropped 800 MB download resumes instead of restarting.

It does not touch your system. No registry writes, no services, no PATH or environment changes, no admin rights. Uninstalling is deleting one folder.

Requirements: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). For the GPU build, an NVIDIA card with compute capability 7.5 or newer (RTX 20-series and up) and driver 580.xx or newer — the package is built against CUDA 13, which sets that floor. Older or non-NVIDIA GPUs are fully supported through the CPU package, which the installer selects on its own. Not required: Visual Studio, the CUDA Toolkit, Node.js, system Python, or admin rights.

Download size: roughly 810 MB for the CUDA install (peaking near 1.9 GB on disk during setup) or about 34 MB for CPU. Models are separate and installed later from the WebUI.

audio.cpp is an open-source (Apache 2.0) framework by ShugoAI LLC, built on ggml. This is an unofficial convenience installer for their official prebuilt releases — all credit for the framework goes to the upstream project.
