# KittenTTS Mini 0.8 GGUF

Native audio.cpp GGUF conversion of
[KittenML/kitten-tts-mini-0.8](https://huggingface.co/KittenML/kitten-tts-mini-0.8).
The package includes the model configuration and all eight upstream voice
embeddings in one standalone GGUF.

## Run

```bash
audiocpp_cli --task tts --family kitten_tts \
  --model kitten-tts-mini-0.8-orig.gguf \
  --backend cpu \
  --text "This lightweight model runs without a GPU." \
  --voice-id Leo \
  --out kitten.wav
```

Available voices: `Bella`, `Jasper`, `Luna`, `Bruno`, `Rosie`, `Hugo`,
`Kiki`, and `Leo`.

The GGUF is larger than the upstream ONNX because the published ONNX stores
quantized weights, while this original-dtype package stores the converted
weights as F32 for native GGML execution.
