A 25MB TTS model: https://github.com/kittenml/kittentts

Nice, I’ll have to try it out. They should really make a uv-installable CLI tool like pocket-TTS did. People underestimate just how much more immediately usable something becomes when you can simply get something by doing “uv tool install …”

  • True that. People, especially developers, underestimate the importance of packaging. Or, in general, making it easier for others to use your product.

  • So I benchmarked it and there’s really no advantage over pocket TTS. There are some tradeoffs like Kitten doesn’t have streaming audio.
