Kyutai's Pocket TTS clones a voice from 5 seconds of audio, on CPU, under MIT. Benchmarked against Kokoro, Supertonic, and Inflect-Nano for Eng. TTS

Kyutai dropped Pocket TTS a bit ago and I've been sitting on it for a benchmark. Finally ran it head to head against the three CPU TTS models that have been getting attention (Kokoro 82M, Supertonic 3, Inflect-Nano-v1). 180 timed runs, 36 audio samples, objective MOS scores via UTMOS. Short version: Pocket TTS is the slowest of the six configs I tested, and it's still the most interesting model in the field. Here's why. What Pocket TTS actually is: It's a ~100M param streaming language model that generates
