Hey r/LocalLLaMA !

I am back with a new model, and it's something special today 😃

It's Flare-TTS 28M, my first text to speech (TTS) model trained completely from scratch on a single A6000 GPU for ~24 hours, ~300 epochs and the full LJSpeech dataset!

It speaks english, but it still sounds a bit robotish 😂

You can use if you want - it's free and open-source 😃

Have fun ❤️
