π KittenTTS β Ultra-Tiny, Supurr-Expressive Open Source TTS
Just spotted an awesome open-source TTS release for builders, hackers, and anyone who loves running clever AI on any device.
KittenTTS is a new, super compact text-to-speech model from Kitten ML.
8 expressive voices (4 female, 4 male)
Preview model: ~15M params (under 25MB!)
Runs anywhere: Raspberry Pi, your phone, ancient laptopβzero GPU required
Open source and free for all
English (for now), with multi-language support on the roadmap
Great for tinkering, edge devices, indie products, or just geeking out over efficient models!

Full (80M param) model coming next week. Give it a try!
Whoa, 25MB TTS?! That's truely awesom. Running complex AI models on low-power devices has always been a pain, so this whole "runs on a Raspberry Pi" thing is kinda genius imo. So excited to try it out on my old laptop β what's the latency like on something that low-powered, though?
