audio.cpp boosts performance for Higgs Audio TTS, HTDemucs, and PocketTTS

The audio.cpp project has released significant performance enhancements for various audio models. Higgs Audio TTS now requires 48% less VRAM, operating with under 6GB, while HTDemucs is 2.2x faster on GPUs and PocketTTS is 2.2x faster on CPUs. These runtime optimizations aim to make existing audio models more practical for local use without compromising quality. The project also introduced an experimental generation history feature for its WebUI and continues to expand its support for a wide range of audio models. AI

IMPACT Improves efficiency and accessibility of existing audio models for local use.
