They are, however, able to inaccurately summarize it in GLaDOS's voice, which is a strong point in their favor.

Yeah, out of all the generative AI fields, voice generation at this point is like 95% there in its capability of producing convincing speech even with consumer level tech like ElevenLabs. That last 5% might not even be solvable currently, as it's those moments it gets the feeling, intonation or pronunciation wrong when the only context you give it is a text input, which is why everything purely automated tends to fall apart quite fast.

Especially voice cloning - the DRG Cortana Mission Control mod is one of the examples I like to use.

Surely you'd need TTS for that one, too? Which one do you use, is it open weights?

Zonos just came out, seems sick:

There are also some “native” tts LLMs like GLM 9B, which “capture” more information in the output than pure text input.

A website with zero information, and barely anything on their huggingface page. What’s exciting about this?

Ahh, you should link to the model

Whoops, yeah, should have linked the blog.

I didn't want to link the individual models because I'm not sure hybrid or pure transformers is better?
