What I love about OpenClaw is that I was able to send it a message on Discord with just this github URL and it started sending me voice messages using it within a few minutes. It also gave me a bunch of different benchmarks and sample audio.

I'm impressed with the quality given the size. I don't love the voices, but it's not bad. Running on an intel 9700 CPU, it's about 1.5x realtime using the 80M model. It wasn't any faster running on a 3080 GPU though.

yeah we'll add some more professional-sounding voices and also support for diy custom voices. we tried to add more anime/cartoon-ish voices to showcase the expressivity.

Regarding running on the 3080 gpu, can you share more details on github issues, discord or email? it should be blazing fast on that. i'll add an example to run the model on gpu too.

Oh that is a good use case. Don't connect to email and all that insecure stuff. But as a sandbox for "try this out and deploy a demo". Got me thinking!
