JUST IN: Meta AI introduces Voicebox, an all-in-one generative... speech model. Voicebox is an impressive breakthrough! It could do for speech what other models like GPT-3 and Stable Diffusion have done for text and images. Some key details: - Voicebox can synthesize speech across 6 languages - It's a general-purpose model that can perform tasks it wasn't trained on. It can perform noise removal, content editing, style conversion, and more - Supports in-context text-to-speech synthesis and cross-lingual style transfer - It's 20x faster than current models and outperforms single-purpose models through in-context learning paper: blog:show more

🚨🇬🇧 WATCH: ENI ALUKO CLAIMS THE UK “HAS FREE... SPEECH” Eni Aluko tried to explain Britain’s so-called speech laws on live TV - and it sounded like pure nonsense. 🔴 “Offensive” opinions are fine 🔴 But “grossly offensive” ones are criminal 🔴 Translation: It depends whether a judge likes you or not We don’t have free speech - we have conditional permission from the state.show more

Big moment for text-to-speech. Qwen just open-sourced a text-to-speech... model that lets you clone voices, design new ones, and control speech using natural language. Let me explain what I mean: You can literally tell it "speak in a cheerful tone with slight nervousness," and it actually does that. No complex audio engineering needed. What makes this special: - 3-second voice cloning - Covers 10 languages: English, German, French, and more - Latency as low as 97ms for real-time applications - Supports both streaming and non-streaming generation The model comes in two sizes (0.6B and 1.7B parameters), so you can pick based on your hardware and quality needs. Three modes to work with: 1. Custom Voice: Use pre-built premium voices with instruction-based style control 2. Voice Design: Describe the voice you want in plain English (or Chinese), and the model creates it 3. Voice Clone: Provide a 3-second reference audio and clone that voice The best part? It integrates with vLLM for production deployment and has a simple Python package you can pip install. I've shared a link to the GitHub repo in the next tweet.show more

President Trump says he only reads about 20% of... his speeches, and ad libs the rest — while of COURSE throwing shade at Joe Biden 🤣🔥 "Isn't it nice to know that you have somebody that doesn't have to read the speech? And it's even BETTER to know that you have somebody that CAN read a speech if he wants to." 😂 "The other guy couldn't even read his speech."show more
