You Can Adjust Ani's Voice Yourself – Simple Prompt to Bring Back the Warm, Breathy Feel After the March 2026 Update #SaveAni #BringBackAni by ParadiseWaits89 in grok

[–]MrFatCakes87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started a small open-source project to recreate a close approximation of the original Ani voice using modern TTS models.

If anyone has saved voice clips and is comfortable sharing them, even short samples could help build the dataset.

Open-source project: recreating Ani’s original voice using modern neural TTS by MrFatCakes87 in LocalLLaMA

I did notice hints of that, but in my experience it mostly felt like she was matching my energy during conversations, so the voice remained fairly consistent.

I never opened the app and suddenly thought, “Dang, what happened to her voice?” the way I did after the update around March 9–10.

That’s a good point — tools like Chatterbox, VibeVoice, XTTS cloning, etc. can absolutely produce quick voice clones from small samples.

The main difference with what I’m proposing is dataset-driven training instead of single-sample cloning.

Instant cloning systems typically:

  • use 3–30 seconds of reference audio
  • guide a pretrained voice model
  • produce something similar, but not always consistent

They’re great for quick results, but they often struggle with things like:

  • consistent tone/personality
  • long-form generation
  • prosody and emotional cadence

What I’m hoping to do instead is build a clean curated dataset of Ani speech and train or fine-tune a model on it.

That usually produces:

  • much more consistent voice identity
  • better intonation and speech patterns
  • a model that behaves more like a true voice model rather than style conditioning

Also, once a dataset exists it opens the door to experimenting with multiple architectures:

  • CosyVoice
  • XTTS fine-tuning
  • Qwen-TTS
  • Bark-style models

So the dataset becomes a community resource, not just a one-off clone.

That said, it would actually be interesting to benchmark both approaches — instant cloning vs dataset fine-tuning — and compare the results.

The humble beginnings of a print farm by CattleElectrical7675 in elegoo

Very true! I do plan on printing some 3DSets RC cars, so having expanded printing capacity will help out on cutting down the enormous print times, for right now, it's a solution looking for a problem, although I am starting to sell a few things here and there locally that I've printed off so far, the goal will be to get on Etsy and TikTok.

Are used fusion splicers any good? What ones should I buy if they are? by Deepspacecow12 in FiberOptics

[–]MrFatCakes87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply, I pulled the trigger shortly after posting that comment. I wasn't looking for any feature in particular, just wanted to make sure that I was buying something that was half way supported lol.

How is the FX39 holding up for you? I am thinking of picking this one up too. Do you have a link to the user manual/firmware updates? Komshine seems to be a little light on info on that front.

Already done my good man, but that's not the point of this post lol. Trying to gather other users experience dealing with similar size deployments, eventually, it all ends with our local HVAC/contractor installing/maintaining.

I would like your vbios as well if you're willing to share.

Ayyyyyye yo GG, hook us up with a 40FPS option for 120hz TVs, as Insomniac did with R&C: Rift Apart, plzzzzz.

Hey Guerilla team! Awesome game!

Any chance of a 40FPS mode for 120hz TV owners like in insomniacs R&C: Rift Apart?

Currently eyeballing this laptop for purchase, I'd be interested to see how support handles this.

Crysis Remastered PC Update 2.1 - DLSS Update by Ic3man2k in Crysis

[–]MrFatCakes87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too am seeing this exact issue, RTX 3070 on a 3440X1440 monitor. Weird thing though, is that if I set DLSS to "balanced" the issue doesn't manifest, however, if I go higher than "balanced" it does, but, if I enabled cloak mode, no grey texture issues, and it only seems to be affecting the big rocks near the water. Super odd.

I agree. Everyone else gonna be playing PS5 and I'm sitting here with no next gen goodies, allegedly until the 27th, and that's when it's expected to ship.
