Summary A

A 31M-parameter, 31.7MB text-to-speech model now runs entirely in-browser with no internet connection, demonstrated via a playable WebAssembly-style game. This puts fully local, zero-latency, zero-cost TTS within reach for client-side assistants, dictation, and podcast generation—no cloud API bills or round-trips—though quality won't match larger hosted voices, so treat it as an edge/offline fallback or privacy-first tier rather than a drop-in replacement for your current voice stack.
