Zyphra’s AI Voice Cloning: Revolutionary Tech or Recipe for Chaos?
Hands on Zyphra’s latest voice-cloning AI models, Zonos, conjure audio doppelgängers with just five seconds of your voice. Tested on an Nvidia RTX 6000, the AI fooled friends and family, though the pacing seemed off. Hugging Face hosts the open-source models, so clone your voice responsibly — no prank calls, please!
Hot Take:
Looks like we’re one step closer to a future where you can outsource awkward phone calls to your AI clone. Next time you’re caught dodging a call from Aunt Gertrude, just blame it on your doppelgänger’s faulty pacing and pitch! But in all seriousness, Zyphra’s new voice cloning tech is like the karaoke version of your voice—close, but not quite ready for the Grammys.
Key Points:
- Zyphra’s Zonos models can clone your voice with just five seconds of audio.
- The company released two model variants: a fully transformer-based and a hybrid version.
- The models were trained with over 200,000 hours of multilingual speech data.
- Zyphra allows free use of its model weights under an Apache 2.0 license.
- Voice cloning tech could be both revolutionary and controversial, depending on its use.
