If you're looking for other languages, Piper has been around in this scene for much longer and they have open-source training code and a lot of models (they're ~60MB instead of 25MB but whatever...) https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/tree/main

Or use https://github.com/Picovoice/orca which is about 7MB and supports 8 languages

Yeah, they're just spamming the threads at the moment with their commercial product.
