About
A 100M-parameter CPU-oriented TTS model from Kyutai with voice cloning from a reference clip and support for English plus five other European languages, designed to run faster than real time using two CPU cores.
Why it matters for physical AI
It delivers cloneable voices on GPU-less edge boards and laptop hosts, which suits companion devices and small robots.
