✨ Getting started with MetaVoice-1B is now smoother than ever with docker-compose! Thanks to @l4b4r4b4b4 & djmaze for their contributions. Check it out: github.com/metavoiceio/me…

A demo of MetaVoice 1B on HF Spaces Thanks to Hugging Face for the GPU grant! huggingface.co/spaces/mrfaken…

Updates: 🚀 Generate speech 2-3x faster with our latest inference optimisations ⚡MetaVoice-1B runs faster than real-time on Ampere, Ada LoveLace & Hopper GPUs 💾 Reduced memory footprint by 40%, MetaVoice-1B now supports GPUs with >=12GB VRAM

MetaVoice-1B on Metal powered by Candle! 🦀 Apache 2.0 licensed TTS with Voice Cloning. Thanks to Laurent Mazare, you can now use MetaVoice in Rust. ⚡ Try it out via candle-examples: cargo run --example metavoice --features metal --release -- --prompt "Hey hey my name is VB."

Just released MetaVoice-1B, the first text-to-speech model in candle. It can be used on CPU, Cuda GPUs, or Metal for macs, all that in pure #Rust! It sounds a bit wobbly compared to the python version but still pretty nice!

🚀 You can now **fine-tune** MetaVoice-1B for a custom voice or language. Instructions: github.com/metavoiceio/me… Thanks @lp_peric

We should call models like Llama 3, Mixtral, etc. “open-weight models”, not “open-source models”. For a model to be open-source, the code and training data need to be public (good examples: GPT-J, OLMo, RedPajama, StarCoder, K2, etc.). Weights are like an exe file, which would be

We’re releasing access to Speech-1, our conversational speech model designed specifically for customer phone calls (8khz telephony) to reduce call drop rates.

Big news: Wayve is partnering with Uber dara khosrowshahi Andrew Macdonald to launch the first-ever public road trials of Level 4 fully driverless vehicles in London 🇬🇧🚗 London is our home and one of the most diverse cities - where I can't wait to bring the benefits of autonomy!

Why doesn’t Chrome have a (toggleable) side panel with Gemini always available? Would save me the trip to chat.com and back.

1/ Our belief MetaVoice is that voice interactions with AI don’t go far enough. What if talking to AI felt indistinguishable from talking to a person, even after years of daily interactions? Fluid back and forth, empathetic responses and a consistent personality.

Accidentally said "I write code" instead of "vibe code" and they kicked me out of SF
