You should try it! I wouldn’t say it’s the best, far from that. But also wouldn’t say it’s terrible. If you have a 5090, then yes, you can run much more powerful models in real time. Chatterbox is a great model though

But you included 3 samples on your GitHub video and they all sound extremely robotic and have very bad artifacts?
