Note that the model was not fine-tuned on a specific voice. Hence, you will get different voices every time you run the model. You can keep speaker consistency by either adding an audio prompt (a guide coming VERY soon - try it with the second example on Gradio or HF Space for now), or fixing the seed.
Thanks for the feedback :)
The outputs are a bit unstable, might need to add cleaner training data and run longer training sessions. Hopefully we can do something like OAI Whisper and update with better performing checkpoints!
We've seen Bark from Suno go from 16GB requirement -> 4GB requirement + running on CPUs. Won't be too hard, just need some time to work on it.
It's way past bedtime where I live, so will be able to get back to you after a few hours. Thanks for the interest :)
We are aware of the fact that you do not need to create a venv when using pre-existing uv. Just added it for people spinning up new GPUs on cloud. But I'll update the README to make that a bit clearer. Thanks for the feedback :)
But AFAIK, even if you have just a few hours of audio containing specific terminology (and correct pronunciation), fine-tuning on that data will significantly improve performance.
