V v cool: first time I've seen such expressiveness in TTS for laughs, coughs, yelling about a fire, etc!

What're the recommended GPU cloud providers for using such open-weights models?

Thanks you!! We personally used Quickpod and Runpod the most. But you can try it now on HF Spaces without spinning up GPUs yourself!

The old Bark TTS is noisy and often unreliable, but pretty great at coughs, throat clears, and yelling. Even dialogs... sometimes. Same Dia prompt in Bark: https://vocaroo.com/12HsMlm1NGdv

Dia sounds much more clear and reliable, wild what 2 people can do in 3 months.
