![CuteTTS logo](assets/logo.png)

- A lightweight (~230M-parameter) continuous autoregressive TTS model that runs efficiently on GPUs, CPUs, and Apple silicon.
- Ultra-low latency: ~40 ms to the first audio chunk and a throughput of ~9× real time on an NVIDIA RTX 4090.
- Excellent speech quality and voice cloning performance.
- Web demo, Python API, and CLI.
- Multilingual support: English, Chinese, French, German, and Spanish.
