    Local inference expands as the community flags deep open-source infiltration scams. Moonshine-AI released fully viable text-to-speech and transcription models running under 500kb [95][100], but excitement in the small-model space was tempered when researchers caught "Basalt Labs" running a high-profile scam masking a DeepSeek API proxy behind a fake Qwen fine-tune [44].

    Presumably it's not, but the TTS voice in the video sounds to me more like formant synthesis than diphone - it reminds me of my DECtalk.

    The project credits does mention espeak (which is formant based) as well as various other TTS projects, although it sounds like they are only using the procunciation part of espeak, not the voice synthesis.

    I use VAD to chunk audio.

    Whisper and Moonshine both works in a chunk, but for moonshine:

    > Moonshine's compute requirements scale with the length of input audio. This means that shorter input audio is processed faster, unlike existing Whisper models that process everything as 30-second chunks. To give you an idea of the benefits: Moonshine processes 10-second audio segments 5x faster than Whisper while maintaining the same (or better!) WER.

    Also for kyutai, we can input continuous audio in and get continuous text out.
