The size/quality tradeoff here is interesting. 25MB for a TTS model that's usable is a real achievement, but the practical bottleneck for most edge deployments

The size/quality tradeoff here is interesting. 25MB for a TTS model that's usable is a real achievement, but the practical bottleneck for most edge deployments isn't model size -- it's the inference latency on low-power hardware and the audio streaming architecture around it. Curious how this performs on something like a Raspberry Pi 4 for real-time synthesis. The voice quality tradeoff at that size usually shows up most in prosody and sentence-final intonation rather than phoneme accuracy.
