Underdog AI says its Woof text-to-speech model is 31.7 MB and runs in the browser

According to a post on X by @UnderdogAI, the company describes Woof as a frontier text-to-speech model small enough to run in a browser. The headline puts its size at 31.7 MB. Underdog AI launched it with a game in which every voice is Woof, and beating the game earns an invite. The quality claims are the company's own, and the post is mainly a video.

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

Underdog AI calls Woof a frontier text-to-speech model small enough to run in a browser, and launched it with a game where every voice is Woof and beating it earns an invite. Quality claims are the company's; the post is mainly a video. Why it matters: On-device speech this small removes server costs and latency...

If a speech model this small runs on-device, voice apps could avoid some server costs and latency, as the post suggests. Developers and product teams building voice features are the most directly affected. Independent testing of the quality claims would be the next thing to watch before the company's framing can be weighed against real results.
