Cool to see the Coqui team dive into this too. I made a video using Stable Diffusion, Coqui TTS with a VITS model, Frame Interpolation for Large Motion, and Wav2Lip a couple weeks ago: https://youtu.be/BnrnJ_6wiYs Theres links to the walkthroughs if anyone wants to set up the open source components and try it out.

My voice model wasnt great for this, so it shouldnt be considered ideal performance by any means.

"

Compositional generation. Our method can compose multiple diffusion models during inference and generate images containing all the concepts described in the inputs without further training"

I'm running a model on Johnny Cash right now in Colab. Screwed up my dataset so I'm only using half of my samples, but it turned out pretty decent. With a larger dataset it should be able to nail the expressiveness a little better. https://vocaroo.com/1iMtRp0NVH6x Here's your comment voiced https://vocaroo.com/1dXa7wq26pRi Great Dictator speech https://vocaroo.com/1d8AIW3mAKDb Arthur Jensen's monologue from Network

Mostly LAION 5B, IIRC. Keep safe mode on unless you want to be inundated with 90s era pornog.

Browsing the dataset for inference terms can help build better prompts. For example, juicy seems to be a particularly weird term involving grapefruits index fingers and japanese people. so id probably use a synonym instead

Few have those high end cards, but they don't need to anymore. Huggingface is saying it needs 12gb, but the source was forked with some smart mods to chunk the loading on to the GPU.

Itll comfortably run on 6gb now. gtx1600 series cards need to run in full precision mode to produce output. The HLKY fork has improved the Gradio GUI and integrated realesrgan and gfpgan for those with beefier cards.

Someone else also figured out how to load and run it all on a CPU, so pretty much anyone can in theory run the model now.

There is an elaborate Colab notebook linked in the HLKY repo that seems to get more point and click user friendly every time i look at it. I think it even launches the gradio webui so you can use the Colab instance with a webui remotely.

Have you tried giving things time off to heal with an elemental diet? It wasn't pleasant, but I survived off powdered amino acids, oil capsules, honey and cocoa for a couple months. The commerical/hospital preparations are for tube feeding patients and outrageously expensive.

Look into nicotinic acid, a form of niacin. The "flushing" one. If you supplement with it start slow, get used to the burning sensation. It goes away after a few times.

Avoid biologics unless you absolutely have to
