Kroko models are more accurate and their size is just a hundred megabytes compared to parakeet (2.5 gigabytes in default fp32)

And moreover, you can not tune those models for practical applications. The model is originally trained on very clean data, so lower layers are also not very stable for diverse inp…

This model is actually expected to be bad for popular languages, just like previous MMS it is not accurate at all, it wins by supporting something rare well but never had good ASR …

It is useless actually. Very slow and quality is suboptimal and it is just speech generation component. See discussion here: https://github.com/SesameAILabs/csm/issues/80

No, there are mathematical reasons LLMs are better. They are trained with multiobjective loss (coding skills, translation skills, etc) so they understand the world much better than…

It is actually pretty straightforward why those model "reason" or, to be more exact, can operate on a complex concepts. By processing huge amount of texts they build an internal re…

Anyone except me thinks he doesn't look very healthy? Its strange he is kind of slow on the video where he enters the room. Maybe some biohacking.

Yes, it is one of the important aspects. In particular if you use TTS to create an audiobook or in a video production.

Metavoice is one of a dozen GPT-based TTS systems around starting from Tortoise. And not that great honestly. You can clearly hear "glass scratches" in their sound, it is because t…

Ok, first we screwed buffers by making them globally tracked instead of just a piece of memory. Now its time to break all binary modules again.

Great thanks a lot. So we have numbers on PTB original perplexity 8.79 quantized 9.68, already 10% worse. And PPL reported per token I suppose? Because word PPL for PTB must be aro…

Do you have the numbers? I suspect is is way worse. Original llama.cpp authors never measure any numbers as well.

Comment #35172088
It is not really llama, it is llama quantized to 4bit. Not even the quality of original 7B. I could also quantize it to 1 bit and claim it runs on my RPI3.
