Developer @SamuelZengML announced the open-source release of Audio8-TTS Preview. Despite being a compact 0.6B parameter model, it boasts impressive capabilities: supporting 11 languages, zero-shot voice cloning, and a bundled 44.1 kHz codec under an Apache 2.0 license.
Tech reviewer @bigblueboo expressed excitement to test the model in their personal Pocket-clone app, seeing if it can dethrone their current favorite, voxcpm2.
