I just released Inflect v2, pushing complete TTS below 4M parameters.
Inflect-Nano-v2 fits every learned inference component, including waveform generation, into 3.96M parameters (15.97 MB FP32), making it one of the smallest publicly available complete TTS models. Inflect-Micro-v2 stays under 10M at 9.36M parameters (37.53 MB), using the extra capacity for clearer, more natural speech.
This was not about building a toy that technically produces audio. I wanted to see how much useful TTS could actually fit at this scale.
Nano stayed surprisingly close to Micro across the reported release metrics, but if you want to hear Inflect at its best, start with Micro: owensong/Inflect-Micro-v2
Text goes in and 24 kHz speech comes out without a second learned model. Both models have PyTorch and ONNX releases: PyTorch runs on CPU or CUDA, while the browser demo runs ONNX locally through WebGPU with a WASM fallback. The Inflect code and weights are released under Apache 2.0.
Some people may remember the much rougher Inflect-Nano-v1 experiment. V2 was rebuilt and retrained to address its biggest weaknesses: metallic audio, unstable timing, weak prosody, and difficulty with unseen text. Nano-v2 is smaller while sounding substantially cleaner and more stable.
In an anonymous community blind test across nine voices, Micro and Nano placed second and third by normalized preference rate. Full results, samples, limitations, and inference instructions are on the model pages.
I built Inflect independently with a limited training budget. If you test it, give it something difficult: unusual names, numbers, abbreviations, symbols, or awkward punctuation. Send me the exact text when something breaks. If you build something with it, I would genuinely love to see it.
We're excited to announce BananaMind 2V, our small vision model series! These models are NOT released yet. We will release them in mid-august! BananaMind 2V will include: BananaMind 2V 256M, the flagship based on BananaMind 2 Pro (BananaMind 2 Pro is not released yet). BananaMind 2V 100M, our mid model, based on BananaMind 2 Medium. BananaMind 2V 50M, our smallest vision model, based on BananaMind 2 Mini. These are currently unreleased and will release in mid-august. Our training will start after BananaMind 2 Pro has finished training.
Okay this is insane... WebGPU-accelerated semantic video tracking, powered by DINOv3 and Transformers.js! 🤯 Demo (+ source code): webml-community/DINOv3-video-tracking
This will revolutionize AI-powered video editors... which can now run 100% locally in your browser, no server inference required (costs $0)! 😍
How does it work? 🤔 1️⃣ Generate and cache image features for each frame 2️⃣ Create a list of embeddings for selected patch(es) 3️⃣ Compute cosine similarity between each patch and the selected patch(es) 4️⃣ Highlight those whose score is above some threshold
... et voilà! 🥳
You can also make selections across frames to improve temporal consistency! This is super useful if the object changes its appearance slightly throughout the video.
