Show HN: Three new Kitten TTS models – smallest less than 25MB 448 by rohan_joshi | 163 comments on Hacker News. Kitten TTS ( https://ift.tt/jJZo5I9 ) is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We had a thread last year here: https://ift.tt/a245bkY . Today we're releasing three new models with 80M, 40M and 14M parameters. The largest model (80M) has the highest quality. The 14M variant reaches new SOTA in expressivity among similar sized models, despite being <25MB in size. This release is a major upgrade from the previous one and supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. Here's a short demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge3u5qblqZA . Most models are quantized to int8 + fp16, and they use ONNX for runtime. Our models are designed to run anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! This release aims to bridge the gap between ...

As an experiment I started asking Claude to explain things to me with a fiction story and it ended up being really good, so I started seeing how far I could take it and what it would take to polish it enough to share publicly. Over the last couple months, I've been building world bibles, writing and visual style guides, and other documents for this project… think the fiction equivalent of all the markdown files we use for agentic development now. After that, this was about two weeks of additional polish work to cut out a lot of fluff and a lot of the LLM-isms. Happy to answer any questions about the process too if that would be interesting to anybody.

Ask HN: Please restrict new accounts from posting 367 by Oras | 280 comments on Hacker News. I don’t know if I’m the only one, but I see lots of clearly AI generated posts recently in HN and mostly coming from new accounts (green), it is more noticeable in the Show HN section. I wish the team can either restrict new accounts from posting or at least offer a default filtering where I can only see posts from accounts with certain criteria. I don’t want to see HN becoming twitter, which is full of bots and noise, as this would be a really sad day.
