Wow Literally what I was looking for.

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback. We are working on some models which do not use a phonemizer

Lol

Haha interesting pivot!
Re:Kitten TTS: 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source Voice Model on Wednesday August 06, 2025 @05:02PM (#44817809)
The thing is that the new models keep coming every day. So it’s economically not feasible to make chips for a single model
Re:Kitten TTS: 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source Voice Model on Wednesday August 06, 2025 @05:00PM (#44817792)
This is our goal too.

It was not

We are still training the model. We expect the quality to go up in the next release. This is just a preview release :)
Re:Show HN: Kitten TTS – 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source TTS Model on Wednesday August 06, 2025 @04:58PM (#44817766)
Thanks for running the benchmarks. Currently the models are not optimized yet. We will optimize loading etc when we release an SDK meant for production :)
Re:Kitten TTS: 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source Voice Model on Wednesday August 06, 2025 @03:36AM (#44808877)
This is just an early checkpoint. We hope that the quality will improve in the future.
Re:Kitten TTS: 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source Voice Model on Wednesday August 06, 2025 @03:34AM (#44808863)
Currently we don't have chunking enabled yet. We will add it soon. That will remove the length limitations.
Re:Kitten TTS: 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source Voice Model on Wednesday August 06, 2025 @03:33AM (#44808855)
That is our vision too!
Re:Show HN: Kitten TTS – 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source TTS Model on Wednesday August 06, 2025 @03:30AM (#44808833)
We will try to get rid of dependencies.
Re:Show HN: Kitten TTS – 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source TTS Model on Wednesday August 06, 2025 @03:30AM (#44808823)
We are working to fix that. Thanks
Re:Kitten TTS: 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source Voice Model on Wednesday August 06, 2025 @03:22AM (#44808776)
Hmm, we will look into it.
Re:Kitten TTS: 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source Voice Model on Wednesday August 06, 2025 @03:21AM (#44808764)
Mostly model size, and input size. Some models which use attention are O(N^2)
Re:Kitten TTS: 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source Voice Model on Wednesday August 06, 2025 @03:20AM (#44808756)
We have released just a preview of the model. We hope to get the model much better in the future releases.
Re:Show HN: Kitten TTS – 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source TTS Model on Wednesday August 06, 2025 @03:19AM (#44808745)
Yup it runs on the web browser. https://clowerweb.github.io/kitten-tts-web-demo/
Re:Kitten TTS: 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source Voice Model on Wednesday August 06, 2025 @03:19AM (#44808739)
We will release an STT model as well.

Show HN: Kitten TTS – 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source TTS Model

https://github.com/KittenML/KittenTTS

Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters.This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The...

We would appreciate a star!

Thanks

Re:Stable Diffusion Implemented Using TensorFlow and Keras on Saturday September 17, 2022 @04:54PM (#32881484)
I have made a Stable Diffusion implementation using Tensorflow / Keras. The weights have been ported from the original pytorch code.

This code runs about 4x faster compared to the original Torch implementation on my 8GB M1 MacBook Air. The speedup is on devices with less memory. Still gotta figure out why.

Re:Diffusion Bee: Stable Diffusion GUI App for M1 Mac on Monday September 12, 2022 @12:41AM (#32806161)
I will add it to diffusion bee soon.
Re:Diffusion Bee: Stable Diffusion GUI App for M1 Mac on Sunday September 11, 2022 @11:33PM (#32805785)
I just tried it as well. I also got errors. Well, for a one-click install app, you don't need python preinstalled.
Re:Diffusion Bee: Stable Diffusion GUI App for M1 Mac on Sunday September 11, 2022 @10:17PM (#32805311)
Work in progress!
Re:Diffusion Bee: Stable Diffusion GUI App for M1 Mac on Sunday September 11, 2022 @10:14PM (#32805286)
Didn't realize that it will become #1 on HN. Thanks everyone.

Well, all the other offline tools seem didn't seem very intuitive to install, for someone without technical knowledge.
