What is OuteTTS-0.1-350M-GGUF?
OuteTTS-0.1-350M-GGUF is an innovative text-to-speech synthesis model that takes a unique approach by leveraging pure language modeling without requiring external adapters or complex architectures. Built on the LLaMa architecture using the Oute3-350M-DEV base model, it demonstrates that high-quality speech synthesis can be achieved through a straightforward approach using crafted prompts and audio tokens.
Implementation Details
The model implements a sophisticated three-step approach to audio processing: audio tokenization using WavTokenizer (processing 75 tokens per second), CTC forced alignment for precise word-to-audio token mapping, and structured prompt creation. The model is compatible with llama.cpp and comes in GGUF format for efficient deployment.
