Samuel: A silly speech model

I trained a model that parrots speech using Pink Trombone, a silly vocal tract simulator.

Try it here, or read the code here.

I'm soon going to expand this blog post with information about how I trained this model. Check back soon!

Trained using spare GPU capacity from my work at Kyutai, an open-source AI lab. To not take compute from official projects, I made sure to use only 1-2 GPUs from the partition dedicated to interactive jobs, which always has a few unused GPUs. A big thank you to my colleagues for all the speech AI wisdom without which I'd have no idea how to approach this project!
