Kyutai TTS: Real-Time Conversational Voice

What is Kyutai TTS?

Kyutai TTS is an advanced streaming text-to-speech model from the French AI lab Kyutai. Unlike traditional TTS models that need the full text before speaking, Kyutai starts generating audio almost instantly as text is provided. This ultra-low latency makes it perfect for creating natural, real-time conversational experiences in chatbots, virtual assistants, and other interactive applications. It is fully open-source and commercially-friendly.
