Meta announced a new AI model called Voicebox yesterday, one it says is the most versatile yet for speech generation, but it’s not releasing it yet: The model is still only a research project, but Meta says can generate speech in six languages from samples as short as two seconds and could be used for “natural, authentic” translation in the future, among other things.

    If they actually had it, I’m pretty sure they would release a demonstration video at least - that doesn’t require sharing the data or the code, so I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t.

    Buuuut nah. It’s just marketing.
