## Which one, for what

### Audio8-TTS-Realistic 0.6B (D)

Good for: Agents that need multilingual voice cloning on a small CUDA GPU under a permissive licence, and can accept remote code

Watch for: Loads only with trust_remote_code, and the codec ships as a 1.35 GB PyTorch pickle

### VieNeu-TTS v3 Turbo (C)

Good for: Agents that need Vietnamese or Vietnamese and English speech on a CPU or small GPU, streamed through an OpenAI-style endpoint

Ahead on:
- Reach, 65 against 55
- Risk, 50 against 40

Watch for: Only Vietnamese and English

## Verdicts

**Audio8-TTS-Realistic 0.6B.** A small local voice-cloning cousin for 23 languages under Apache 2.0, cloning from one clip and its exact transcript. It needs about 3 GB on a CUDA GPU through Transformers with Edge0's remote code, or Edge0's SGLang Omni plugin for a speech endpoint. The main risks are remote code and a pickled codec, and no independent benchmark yet.

**VieNeu-TTS v3 Turbo.** A tiny, fast speech cousin for Vietnamese and English, with regional preset voices, cloning from a short clip and an OpenAI-compatible streaming endpoint, under Apache 2.0. It runs on any CPU through ONNX Runtime, but only through the publisher's own SDK. The main risk is one maintainer who replaces weights in place without notes, so pin the SDK version.

## Before you call either

### Audio8-TTS-Realistic 0.6B

1. Pin `transformers>=4.57.0,<5`; Transformers 5 can produce all-zero codes with this custom code
2. Load with `AutoProcessor.from_pretrained('Edge0/Audio8-TTS-Realistic-0.6b', trust_remote_code=True)` and `AutoModel.from_pretrained(..., trust_remote_code=True, dtype=torch.bfloat16)`; review the four .py files first
3. Clone with `processor(text=[...], reference_audio=['ref.wav'], reference_text=['exact transcript'], return_tensors='pt')`; a transcript that doesn't match the clip lowers stability
4. Decode with `model.decode_audio(output.codes)` and write at `model.config.codec_sample_rate` (44,100 Hz)
5. Split long text into short utterances; reference, transcript and text share 2,048 positions
6. For an HTTP endpoint, install Edge0's SGLang Omni adapter at the pinned SGLang Omni 0.1.0 and call `/v1/audio/speech`; start the server with `AUDIO8_TTS_STREAM_ENABLED=1` for streaming
7. Only clone a voice you have permission to use, and disclose synthetic audio

### VieNeu-TTS v3 Turbo

1. On CPU, `pip install vieneu`, then `from vieneu import Vieneu; tts = Vieneu(); tts.save(tts.infer(text, voice='Mai Anh'), 'out.wav')`; `Vieneu(precision='int8')` is about twice as fast on a CPU with VNNI
2. On GPU, install torch 2.8 for CUDA 12.8 and transformers 4.57.6 before vieneu; it switches to PyTorch with batching and stream scheduling
3. Serve with `uv run python -m apps.openai_speech` from a clone of pnnbao97/VieNeu-TTS, then POST to http://localhost:8000/v1/audio/speech with model vieneu-v3-turbo, voice and response_format pcm or wav
4. Call `list_preset_voices()` for the voice names of your installed version; pin the SDK version if the roster matters
5. Clone with `ref_audio='voice.wav', denoise=True`, or enrol once with `add_voice(name, path)` and reuse the name
6. Keep temperature near 0.8; the style argument is ignored on v3 Turbo
7. Only clone a voice you have the right to use
