XTTS v2 GGUF - Memory-Efficient TTS for Mobile

🚀 EXPERIMENTAL: GGUF format XTTS v2 with C++ inference engine for ultra-low memory usage on mobile devices.

⚠️ NOTE: This is a proof-of-concept. GGUF files require the included C++ inference engine to run.

🎯 Key Features

• Memory-Mapped Loading: Only loads needed parts into RAM
• Multiple Quantizations: Q4 (290MB), Q8 (580MB), F16 (1.16GB)
• Low RAM Usage: 90-350MB vs 1.5-2.5GB for PyTorch
• Fast Loading: <1 second vs 15-20 seconds
• React Native Ready: Full mobile integration

📊 Model Variants

Variant	Size	RAM (mmap)	Quality	Best For
q4_k	290MB	~90MB	Good	Low-end devices
q8	580MB	~180MB	Very Good	Mid-range devices
f16	1.16GB	~350MB	Excellent	High-end devices

🚀 Quick Start

React Native

import XTTS from '@genmedlabs/xtts-gguf';

// Initialize (downloads model automatically)
await XTTS.initialize();

// Generate speech
const audio = await XTTS.speak("Hello world!", {
  language: 'en'
});

C++

#include "xtts_inference.h"

auto model = std::make_unique<xtts::XTTSInference>();
model->load_model("xtts_v2_q4_k.gguf", true);
auto audio = model->generate("Hello world!", xtts::LANG_EN);
