Gradium has open-sourced Phonon, a family of small on-device text-to-speech models. The 31M parameter English Phonon model, fitting in a 64.5 MB file, ships under Apache 2.0, enabling natural speech without cloud calls or GPUs.
Reports mentioning Kyutai
Kyutai, Inria, and École des Ponts have released REKI, a 2.4B parameter vision-language-action model for robot manipulation. The model uses efficient memory and performs well on out-of-distribution benchmarks, with weights available on Hugging Face.
Kyutai has released Voice of Reason, a pair of open-weight speech-to-speech models designed to solve mathematical problems spoken aloud. These models operate without an intermediate transcription step or a separate text-based large language model (LLM) in the processing loop, directly…
Paris-based Gradium, a voice AI company that originated from the Kyutai research lab, has introduced Voice Design, a novel system capable of generating entirely new synthetic voices based on written descriptions.
Kyutai and Mirelo released MuScriptor this week, an open-weight decoder-only Transformer model designed to transcribe multi-instrument music into MIDI format. Automatic Music Transcription (AMT) has historically struggled with complex mixes, but MuScriptor aims to bridge this gap by training…
