XTTS
CoquiCoqui's voice-cloning text-to-speech model: XTTS-v2 clones a voice from a six-second sample and speaks it in 17 languages, including across languages, with streaming output. It runs on the Coqui TTS engine, now maintained by Idiap as the coqui-tts package.
Coqui, the company, has shut down: its website no longer resolves and the original repository is unmaintained, so XTTS-v2 is its last release.

- Coqui-Public-Model-License-1.0.0(XTTS-v2 and XTTS-v1 weights
XTTS-v2 downloads freely, but the Coqui Public Model License allows only non-commercial use of the model and its outputs. Nothing is published about the training data, and only a fine-tuning recipe for one component is available. That license permits no commercial use, so its tier is commercial_forbidden.
