KittenTTS v0.8: three new models, smallest under 25 MB

Well God damn, that’s impressive…but did they have to go with the kawaii lolichan voices? I can’t deploy that without getting some pointed looks.

Agree. I think the developers stated they added cartoon voices on purpose to demonstrate expressiveness.

The demo video sounds really good. In testing, it is very noisy and poor quality even with the 80M model. It is not all that fast, not instant like I would expect. It’s okay for memory constrained environments, but without voice cloning, may as well stick with whatever built-in TTS your OS has.

Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as “llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they’re still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.
