It's the first time I've seen collecting payment info to improve user experience.
Every popular machine learning paper has a fake website associated with it, for some reason. Can anyone figure out why? Another example, someone created this website https://imagen3.org, which is NOT Imagen3 by Google. However, it currently ranks #2 for the model name.
From the faq: > Can I use Kokoro TTS offline? > Kokoro TTS is a cloud-based service that requires an internet connection to access our advanced text to speech technology. This ensures you always have access to the latest improvements and don't need to worry about local hardware requirements or model installations. I would happily take on the worrying for offline instead of them having to worry about my worries.
This looks like a fake website. The creator of the website is claiming credit for the model, which does not appear to be created by him. The original model can be found here, along with the source code: https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M Every popular machine learning paper has a fake website associated with it, for some reason.

I'm excited to share Kokoro TTS, an open-source text-to-speech model we've been working on. Despite its relatively small size (82M parameters), it achieves impressive results in natural speech synthesis, ranking first in the TTS Spaces Arena benchmark. The model is Apache 2.0 licensed and trained on less than 100 hours of audio data. It supports both American and British English, offering multiple voice options with…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's NOT Open Source.
In which sense? https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M - Apache 2.0 weights in this repository - MIT inference code in spaces/hexgrad/Kokoro-TTS adapted from yl4579/StyleTTS2 - GPLv3 dependency in espeak-ng
