Cairo-TTS weights โ release status?
Hi Mohammed ๐
Great work on VoiceTut-TTS v2 โ I use it fully offline for Egyptian-Arabic voice-cloning workflows on a very old CPU-only laptop (AMD A8 from 2014, 14.9 GB RAM, no AVX2). I'm 16 and I'm building a local Arabic voice assistant on that machine.
I noticed cairo-tts 0.2.0 on PyPI (Oct 14), and the model card for mohammedaly22/Cairo-TTS appeared around the same day โ but as of today both the model repo and the Space return 404. I've been polling the repo since Oct 17 without luck, so I wanted to ask directly:
- Are the Cairo-TTS weights going to be public, and roughly when?
- If they are private for now, is there any chance of getting access?
My environment is already set up and verified (pip install cairo-tts + CPU torch), and I'd be glad to test it on CPU-only hardware without AVX2 and send back real metrics (TTFA / RTF / streaming behaviour) plus Egyptian-dialect samples.
Thanks a lot!
