I just released Inflect v2, pushing complete TTS below 4M parameters.
Inflect-Nano-v2 fits every learned inference component, including waveform generation, into 3.96M parameters (15.97 MB FP32), making it one of the smallest publicly available complete TTS models. Inflect-Micro-v2 stays under 10M at 9.36M parameters (37.53 MB), using the extra capacity for clearer, more natural speech.
This was not about building a toy that technically produces audio. I wanted to see how much useful TTS could actually fit at this scale.
Nano stayed surprisingly close to Micro across the reported release metrics, but if you want to hear Inflect at its best, start with Micro:

Text goes in and 24 kHz speech comes out without a second learned model. Both models have PyTorch and ONNX releases: PyTorch runs on CPU or CUDA, while the browser demo runs ONNX locally through WebGPU with a WASM fallback. The Inflect code and weights are released under Apache 2.0.
Try Nano and Micro side by side:

Some people may remember the much rougher Inflect-Nano-v1 experiment. V2 was rebuilt and retrained to address its biggest weaknesses: metallic audio, unstable timing, weak prosody, and difficulty with unseen text. Nano-v2 is smaller while sounding substantially cleaner and more stable.
In an anonymous community blind test across nine voices, Micro and Nano placed second and third by normalized preference rate. Full results, samples, limitations, and inference instructions are on the model pages.

I built Inflect independently with a limited training budget. If you test it, give it something difficult: unusual names, numbers, abbreviations, symbols, or awkward punctuation. Send me the exact text when something breaks. If you build something with it, I would genuinely love to see it.Organizations
