Kyutai's Pocket TTS offers CPU-based voice cloning from 5s audio

Kyutai has released Pocket TTS, a ~100M parameter streaming language model that generates audio tokens autoregressively. This model is notable for its ability to perform zero-shot voice cloning from just 5 seconds of audio, a feature not present in other CPU-friendly models like Kokoro, Supertonic, and Inflect-Nano. While Pocket TTS is the slowest among the tested models, it offers voice cloning capabilities on CPU without requiring a GPU, making it a unique option for interactive applications. AI

IMPACT Enables voice cloning on consumer hardware, potentially lowering the barrier for AI-powered audio generation.

RANK_REASON New product release from a smaller developer, offering a specific niche capability (CPU voice cloning).
