Three new models by KittenML. <25 MB Open-source TTS. Highly Expressive
by rohan_joshi·Feb 20, 2026·4 points·6 comments
AI Analysis
●●SolidNiche GemShip It
Sub-25MB TTS models when Coqui and glow-TTS already dominate the space.
Strengths
- •Multiple model sizes enable real edge deployment and latency-sensitive applications.
- •Open-source removes licensing friction; actual weights on GitHub, not vaporware.
- •Genuinely small footprint addresses IoT/embedded constraint ignored by larger TTS projects.
Weaknesses
- •Landing page offers zero technical details: quality benchmarks, inference speed, MOS scores absent.
- •Crowded TTS space (Coqui, glow-TTS, XTTS); no clear differentiation in capabilities or approach.
