# MeloTTS → use tiny-tts-rlx

Alias card only — MeloTTS shares the weight tree with [`eugenehp/tiny-tts-rlx`](https://huggingface.co/eugenehp/tiny-tts-rlx). There is no separate weight dump in this repo.

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| **Hub id** | [`eugenehp/melotts`](https://huggingface.co/eugenehp/melotts) |
| **Kind** | RLX-native weight bundle (graphs + sidecars ready for `rlx-*` crates). |
| **RLX crate** | [`rlx-melotts`](https://github.com/MIT-RLX/rlx-models/tree/main/crates/rlx-melotts) |
| **Upstream** | https://github.com/myshell-ai/MeloTTS |

## Quick start

```bash
just fetch-melotts   # downloads eugenehp/tiny-tts-rlx tiny-tts.rlxp + local melotts symlink
ln -sfn tiny-tts-rlx weights/tts/melotts && just melotts-demo "Hi." metal
```

## Primary files (use these)

- `tiny-tts.rlxp` — 29.4 MiB

## Contents

Download weights from [`eugenehp/tiny-tts-rlx`](https://huggingface.co/eugenehp/tiny-tts-rlx) (`tiny-tts.rlxp`). See that card’s **Pack layout** for the `.rlxp` tree. Locally, `weights/tts/melotts` can be a symlink to `tiny-tts-rlx`.

## Note

Do not look for MeloTTS-specific GGUFs here; use the TinyTTS RLX bundle and `rlx-melotts`.

## Run with RLX

Clone [rlx-models](https://github.com/MIT-RLX/rlx-models), place this repo under `weights/tts/melotts` (or pass the path explicitly), then:

```bash
ln -sfn tiny-tts-rlx weights/tts/melotts && just melotts-demo "Hi." metal
```

## Maintenance
