AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

Hey HN, Toby from Nari Labs here. We've been working on making OSS speech models super-fast. Last year, we built Dia, the first OSS text-to-speech model capable of doing natural dialogue. Since then, so many more great speech models have been released to the public. But the market is still dominated by closed...

Improving inference speed and accuracy in open-source speech models can reduce reliance on closed-source solutions and lower costs. This progress supports broader access to advanced voice AI technologies.
