Here is a new tts model, extremely lightweight. and one of if not the smallest neural tts models yet.
This new model, called sanoTTS by ampixa, is truly something to talk about simply because of its size. It clocks in at a remarkable 1.4MB, which is incredibly tiny for a neural text-to-speech system. This makes it a potential game-changer for applications where every megabyte counts, or where processing power is very limited.
The model boasts fast inference and is multi-speaker, having been trained on the LibriTTS dataset. What's even more interesting is its ability to use speaker embeddings, meaning it can synthesize speech in the style of voices it hasn't directly encountered during training. That's quite a feat for such a compact model.
Now, it's important to be realistic about its performance. While the size is groundbreaking, the audio quality isn't going to blow anyone away. The creators themselves openly state that the sound is "not good," though acceptable for specific uses. Expect speech that might sound a bit artificial or less natural compared to the high-fidelity voices we hear from larger, more resource-intensive models. This is the trade-off for its extreme leanness.
So, where does sanoTTS shine? It's perfect for embedded systems, edge devices, or any low-resource environment where you need basic voice output and size or speed are priorities over pristine audio quality. Think of simple notifications, basic voice prompts on small devices, or quick prototyping where you just need to hear something spoken without much overhead.
If you want to try it out, here are some simple steps using Python:
pip install sanotts
sanotts say "Hello" --voice heart -o hello.wav
The main link to learn more and access the model is on Hugging Face:

It is genuinely impressive to see how far researchers are pushing the boundaries of model compression. While sanoTTS won't replace your favorite high-quality voice assistant, it opens up new possibilities for AI on very constrained hardware.
What are your thoughts on models that prioritize extreme lightness over audio fidelity? Have you encountered any situations where such a tiny TTS model would be incredibly useful?

We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.
So, like I promised, I am here with another promotional offer. This time its a platform called CodeCraft API.
This platform is designed to make accessing a wide range of powerful AI models much simpler and more affordable. It brings together popular models like GPT-4, Gemini Pro, Claude 3 Opus, and even Stable Diffusion, all under one roof. The idea is to provide a unified API endpoint, which can be really convenient for developers, startups, and small businesses that might find direct access to these models either too complex or too expensive.
What stands out about CodeCraft API is its focus on competitive pricing and ease of integration. It aims to reduce the barriers to entry for using advanced AI in various projects. One can genuinely appreciate how it simplifies the process of switching between different models without needing to manage multiple API keys or accounts. This flexibility can be a significant time-saver.
Setting up with CodeCraft API is straightforward. After signing up, one generates an API key from their dashboard. Then, it's about integrating that key into one's application or project. They provide documentation to guide users through connecting to their chosen AI models, which helps make the process smooth.
For those interested in giving it a try, there is a special promotional offer: using the referral link provided, new users can get 20% extra credit on their first recharge. It is a nice way to explore the platform's capabilities without a huge initial investment.
It's honestly good to see platforms like this emerge, making sophisticated AI tools more accessible to a broader audience.
Here is the link to check it out:
https://codecraftapi.com/?ref=CCTLETG5
Has anyone here already used CodeCraft API or similar consolidated AI API platforms? What have your experiences been like?
Do consider subscribing to t.me/iaosai for more updates and offers.

GitHub moved the Copilot runtime to Rust 🚀
GitHub migrated the runtime behind Copilot to Rust, and used Copilot during the migration itself.
✅ Why this is worth reading:
• Runtime work is systems work: a language migration means tracing real production behavior, not just translating syntax.
• Copilot was part of the workflow: useful for exploring an unfamiliar codebase, drafting changes, and keeping momentum through repetitive conversion work.
• The output still needs engineering judgment: boundaries, performance, correctness, and rollout safety are not autocomplete problems.
This is a practical case study for teams asking where coding agents help on a large refactor. Use them to accelerate investigation and implementation. Keep humans on architecture, tests, and production checks.

Migrating the GitHub Copilot runtime to Rust, using Copilot
A rewrite this size wasn't affordable before agents. Here's what porting the Copilot agent runtime to 800,000 lines of production Rust actually took.
Today we have something interesting to share. My friend and I have been working together on different projects and experimenting with some cool ideas. We have already built a few things together, and we are also working on something new right now.
There’s a little surprise coming, but we won’t reveal everything yet. It’s related to Pokémon game mod , and my friend will tell you himself what we have made and what we are working on.
So from today, he’ll also be sharing his ideas, projects, and perspective with all of you here.
Welcome to the channel, bro. Now tell everyone what you’ve been working on! taha!

🔥 BIG RELEASE: Pokémon Desolation is now FULLY PLAYABLE for blind players! 🔥
I'm releasing the Pokémon Desolation Accessibility Pack — a free mod pack that makes the entire fan game Pokémon Desolation playable start to finish with the NVDA screen reader. No sighted help needed. Not for a demo, not for a few menus — the whole game.
🎮 What's included:
🗣️ Everything speaks. Every menu, every dialogue with speaker names, shops, options, the party, the PC boxes, choices — all of it reads out through NVDA.
⚔️ Fully accessible battles. Every battle message, the command and fight menus, targeting in double battles, and exact damage numbers after every hit. Press K for a quick status of everyone on the field, Q for your whole side in detail, W for the enemy side with their revealed moves, Z to hear any move's full description before you pick it.
📋 The Accessible Summary. Open any Pokémon's menu and hear EVERYTHING: all stats with IVs and EVs, base stats and abilities, every move with its description, nature, held item — plus a full biology description of the species, over 1,000 of them. You can even export your whole team to a text file.
🔊 3D audio beacon. Pick any door, person or item on the map and a real 3D sound (Steam Audio) guides you straight to it. It even pauses itself during battles.
🚶 Pathfinding and auto-walk. Press J and L to browse everything on the map — doors, NPCs, items, signs — and press P to have the game walk you there automatically.
👣 Footstep sounds that tell you the surface — grass, water, sand, caves, bridges — so you always know what you're walking on.
📜 Spoken quest log, fully accessible bag (with "who can learn this TM" on every TM!), and a talking Pokédex.
📥 How to install: you need your own copy of Pokémon Desolation and NVDA running. Download the zip from the link above (Releases section), copy two folders into your game folder, start the game — and it says "Accessibility speech enabled." That's it. Full instructions are on the page and inside the zip.
🙏 Huge credit to Lorenzo (fclorenzo on GitHub) — his accessibility work for Pokémon Reborn is the foundation this pack is built on — and to the Pokémon Reborn team's Blindstep support that inspired the battle features.
It's free, open source, and actively maintained — the latest update (v1.0.2) already includes fixes from the first players' reports. Found a bug? Report it on GitHub and it gets fixed.
Go catch 'em all — by ear. 🎧

💚 New: reputations! Desolation tracks how Connor, Nova, Shiv and the others feel about you. Press R while someone is talking to hear their reputation, Shift+R for the whole list, and you're told the moment any of them changes.
🧬 Natures are read in the summary again, now with what they do ("Bold nature: Defense up, Attack down").
💾 The title screen's save-file list speaks: each file, its position and when it was saved.
Update: copy 3 files into patch\Mods (listed on the release page).
