AI - Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS and Flash-Lite TTS, cool looking (or sounding?) models 🤣
Feels a bit like sci-fi tech coming to life, not something we have not seen before by any means, but the quality seems great. Ability to clone your voice with such fidelity from 30 seconds sample is cool 🤣
If I can trust X, it is cheap and really good, so I thought I will shout it out here 🤣
