> we should stop calling this type of model open source. They are indeed "open weight” This ship has sailed. It’s now in the same category as hacker/cracker and the pronunciation of GIF.
It's the same as GIS, you wouldn't say jizz now would you?
What’s the current state of the art, for each of training locally and in the cloud, for learning my voice?
Elevenlabs in the cloud.

This is not a new model. Also, it hallucinates a lot. Also, it's very heavy and slow in inference. It's also bad in multilingual. Edit: I'm talking purely about speech to text (STT). Not sure about the other things this can do.

Isn't this project the one Microsoft published but then soon after pulled it for security/safety reasons? What has changed since then?
It’s confusing (at least for me) because the project covers a number of things including what you are mentioning.
When explanations get posted directly in HN comments, I imagine someone somewhere in the world is able to learn in spite of their Internet restrictions/firewalls
People will also post their own interpretations in response to comments, and quickly find out they missed something.
… But if you try to automate it, like include a summary under every HN post, you encourage laziness too much and are pre-chewing too heavily. Some balance here.

I thought this was not explained in the readme directly but in fact I missed it. I wasn’t going to read Microsoft entire changelog! But it was substantive, thanks to sibling commenter:
“2025-09-05: VibeVoice is an open-source research framework intended to advance collaboration in the speech synthesis community. After release, we discovered instances where the tool was used in ways inconsistent with the stated intent. Since responsible use of AI is one of Microsoft’s guiding principles, we have removed the VibeVoice-TTS code from this repository.”
