That’s exactly what makes Supertonic TTS so interesting. It works well on CPU or a 6GB VRAM GPU, and the speed is honestly great:
- 4.5s audio on CPU: ~1.5s
- On GPU: ~150–400ms
I also wrote a small WebSocket-based tool to expose it on a port, making it easy to use with apps, web projects, and browser extensions. The repo even comes with a web demo. Would you try this kind of local TTS setup?
Not gonna lie, this has been bugging me a bit.
Whenever I pick **Opus 4.7** in Kiro, it sometimes just feels “stuck” and takes way longer to process requests. Meanwhile **Opus 4.6** has been way more reliable for me. I’m not saying 4.7 is bad, but the difference in stability is hard to ignore.
It honestly makes me wonder if Kiro is holding back the full rollout of Opus 4.7 because of these issues.
Curious if this is just me or if other people are seeing the same thing. Anyone else running into this?
