Kitten TTS: 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source Voice Model

Alright, let's have a real talk. For years, the AI world has been obsessed with BIG. Big models, big data, big GPUs, and even bigger cloud bills. Most text-to-speech (TTS) models today are heavyweight champs of burning cash. We're talking about multi-billion parameter, GPU-guzzling monsters that need more silicon than your phone, your laptop, and maybe your entire neighborhood combined.

Earth's rotation is randomly speeding up, and nobody is quite sure why. These speedups, which have occurred several times over the last few years, haven't had any effect on daily life, but they also haven't gone unnoticed by science.

It’s been about a year since the house from 1982’s Poltergeist went on the market for the first time, exciting horror fans who scrolled through property photos, dreamed of stacking chairs in the retro-preserved kitchen, and wondered if anything suspicious was unearthed while building that backyard pool. That was fun, but this is even better: in the grand tradition of movie-themed stays past, the Freeling home is now available for booking on Airbnb, complete with a massive old TV set broadcasting

OpenAI's New Models Aren't Really Open: What to Know About Open-Weights AI

Despite the company's name, OpenAI hasn't dropped an open version of its AI models since GPT-2 in 2019. That changed on Tuesday, as CEO Sam Altman shared two new open-weights, reasoning AI models, named gpt-oss-120b (120 billion parameters) and gpt-oss-20b (20 billion parameters). If open-weights is a new piece of AI jargon to you, don't worry. In the simplest possible terms, open-weights is a category of AI models that power products like chatbots, image and video generators.

TL;DR The new OpenAI model can now run directly on some devices with Snapdragon chips. It’s the first time an OpenAI reasoning model has been made available for on-device use. This could mean faster, more private AI features on your phone, just not yet.
