- **Paradee-8M Pt-BR** is an ultra-lightweight Text-to-Speech (TTS) model for Brazilian Portuguese, with **7.88M parameters**, distilled from the Brazilian Portuguese voices of [Kokoro-82M](https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M) (`pf_dora` and `pm_alex`) using the architecture of [Paradee-8M v1.2](https://huggingface.co/sahilmahendrakar/Paradee-8M-v1.2) by Sahil Mahendrakar.
