Show HN: Kitten TTS – 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source TTS Model (🔥 Score: 158+ in 1 hour)

Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6zaew
Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters.
This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required!
We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices that will be available in our next release (hopefully next week). We'd love your feedback! Just FYI, this model is an early checkpoint trained on less than 10% of our total data.
We started working on this because existing expressive OSS models require big GPUs to run them on-device and the cloud alternatives are too expensive for high frequency use. We think there's a need for frontier open-source models that are tiny enough to run on edge devices!
Ask HN: Have you ever regretted open-sourcing something? (❄️ Score: 155+ in 3 days)

Open source is usually seen as a win - for learning, visibility, and the community. But have you ever regretted it?
Maybe it became a burden to maintain, attracted the wrong users, or got used in ways you didn’t expect.
Would love to hear your experience - good or bad.
