Turns out you can play Asteroids on AsteroidOS https://github.com/moWerk/asteroid-blaster

rtx4000 only has 8gig memory which means reducing the batch size (much slowness) and/or how much text you can give it at once (meaning you have to break up text chunks not at sentence breaks)

rtx5000 maybe but not sure how much of a value improvement there is

fixed thx

James Betker in the tortoise-tts repo, which is similar, says he spent $15k for his home rig. I'm not finding right now how long it took to train the tortoise model but feel like I read him say weeks/months somewhere. Obvs all kinds of variations depending on coding efficiency and dataset size, but another datapoint https://nonint.com/2022/05/30/my-deep-learning-rig/ https://github.com/neonbjb/tortoise-tts

you could also just skip step 1 https://twitter.com/lexman_ai

Open source tortoise-TTS has been able to do this for 6+ months now, which is also based on the same theory as DALL-E. From playing with tortoise a bit over the last couple of weeks it seems like the issue is not so much accuracy anymore, rather how GPU intensive it is to make a voice of any meaningful duration. Tortoise is ~5 seconds on a $1000 GPU (P5000) to do one second of spoken text. There's cloud options (collab, paperspace, runpod) but still https://github.com/neonbjb/tortoise-tt
