Just tried the collab notebooks. Seems to be very good quality. It also supports voice cloning.

Great stuff, took a look through the README but... what are the minimum hardware requirements to run this? Is this gonna blow up my CPU / harddrive?

No, this is not MIT. If you don't like MIT license then feel free to use something else, but you can't pretend this is open source and then attempt to slap on additional restrictions on how the code can be used.

Not sure. The only inference demos are colab notebooks. The models are approx 700mb each so I imagine it will run on modest gpu

Yes, I noticed that. Doesn't seem right does it

I think you mis-parsed the disclaimer. It's just warning people that cloned voices come with a different set of rights to the software (because the person the voice is a clone of has rights to their voice).

As I understand it the source code is licensed MIT, the weights are licensed "weird proprietary license that doesn't explicitly grant you any rights and implicitly probably grants you some usage rights so long as you tell the listeners or have permission from the voice you cloned".

Which, if you think the weights are copyright-able in the first place, makes them practically unusable for anything commercial/that you might get sued over because relying on a vague implicit license is definitely not a good idea.

I think that's referring to the pre-trained models, not the source code.
