Haloneuro released Sopro V2 Turbo 2610, an interim update to its lightweight streaming TTS model that fixes roughness and break-up in some cloned voices. The model stays at 120M parameters with ~300 ms to first audio on laptop CPU, under Apache-2.0. It positions itself as an alternative to F5-TTS for true streaming and comfortable CPU-only local use.
Sopro V2 is an open-source text-to-speech model that performs zero-shot voice cloning from 5-20 seconds of reference audio. It supports English, European Portuguese, French, and German, and is designed to run locally on CPU with a simple web UI. It solves the problem of accessible, high-quality voice cloning for developers and hobbyists.

A YouTube video by Sam Witteveen reviews BreezeTTS2, a 3B-parameter open-weights text-to-speech model from BreezeBlue that runs 100% locally in real time. The video walks through the accompanying blog post and demonstrates voice design and voice direction features. For practitioners, it highlights a fully local real-time TTS option with weights available on Hugging Face.

LoudKit is a small, fast on-device text-to-speech package with voice cloning, supporting 10 languages and offerring SDKs for Python, Swift, Go, Rust, and TypeScript. The author optimized it from the Chatterbox model to run on edge devices like an iPhone 14 Pro, solving the problem of long-listening fatigue found in open TTS models like Kokoro and Kitten. It targets developers building apps (like the author's own reading app) that need quality speech without cloud calls.

Tontaube's two co-founders released TontaubeV1, a 2.9B-parameter open-weight text-to-speech model targeting expressive, long-form English and German speech with low-latency local inference. It supports zero-shot voice cloning from up to one minute of reference audio. The release matters to developers running speech generation on their own hardware without cloud APIs.

SupraLabs released SupraTTS-0.1-Beta, a ~29.6M-parameter text-to-speech model built on the Glow-TTS architecture. The team reports slightly better audio quality than original Glow-TTS at the same size, targeting edge devices and CPU inference. The model is available on Hugging Face with roadmap items including zero-shot voice cloning.
