great news, this looks great! is it just me, or do most of the english audio samples sound like anime voices?
devttyeu•1h ago
Also like some popular youtubers and popular speakers.
pixl97•40m ago
Hmm, wonder where they got their training data from?

> do most of the english audio samples sound like anime voices?

100% I was thinking the same thing.

thehamkercat•54m ago
even the Japanese audio samples sound like anime
htrp•34m ago
subbed audio training data (much better than cc data) is better
reactordev•13m ago
The real value I see is being able to clone a voice and change timbre and characteristics of the voice to be able to quickly generate voice overs, narrations, voice acting, etc. It's superb!

I still don't know anyone who managed Qwen3-Omni to work properly on a local machine.
throwaw12•56m ago
Qwen team, please please please, release something to outperform and surpass the coding abilities of Opus 4.5.

Although I like the model, I don't like the leadership of that company and how close it is, how divisive they're in terms of politics.

amrrs•51m ago
Have you tried the new GLM 4.7?
throwaw12•41m ago
yes I did, not on par with Opus 4.5.

I use Opus 4.5 for planning, when I reach my usage limits fallback to GLM 4.7 only for implementing the plan, it still struggles, even though I configure GLM 4.7 as both smaller model and heavier model in claude code

>how divisive they're in terms of politics

What do you mean by this?

throwaw12•42m ago
Dario said not nice words about China and open models in general:

vlovich123•17m ago
I think the least politically divisive issue within the US is concern about China’s growth as it directly threatens the US’s ability to set the world’s agenda. It may be politically divisive if you are aligned with Chinese interests but I don’t see anything politically divisive for a US audience. I expect Chinese CEOs speak in similar terms to a Chinese audience in terms of making sure they’re decoupled from the now unstable US political machine.

They were just waiting for someone in the comments to ask!
WarmWash•20m ago
The Chinese labs distill the SOTA models to boost the performance of theirs. They are a trailer hooked up (with a 3-6 month long chain) to the trucks pushing the technology forwards. I've yet to see a trailer overtake it's truck.

China would need an architectural breakthrough to leap American labs given the huge compute disparity.

How does the cloning compare to pocket TTS?
genewitch•36m ago
it isn't often that tehcnology gives me chills, but this did it. I've used "AI" TTS tools since 2018 or so, and i thought the stuff from two years ago was about the best we were going to get. I don't know the size of these, i scrolled to the samples. I am going to get the models set up somewhere and test them out.

Now, maybe the results were cherrypicked. i know everyone else who has released one of these cherrypicks which to publish. However, this is the first time i've considered it plausible to use AI TTS to remaster old radioplays and the like, where a section of audio is unintelligible but can be deduced from context, like a tape glitch where someone says "HEY [...]LAR!" and it's an episode of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar...

I have dozens of hours of audio of like Bob Bailey and people of that era.

thedangler•21m ago
Kind of a noob, how would I implement this locally? How do I pass it audio to process. I'm assuming its in the API spec?
