I played around with RWKV some time ago (maybe early 2023?) with similarly disappointing results, but my suspicion was that this was a dataset/training issue, not an architectural one. Leaderboard performance has improved a lot since then, and anecdotally, I've seen/heard some quite decent RWKV TTS experiments, so I'm bullish. Also, the team has incorporated/raised money from investors (recursal.ai), so it's no longer a one man effort.
