The current problem with running these AI on local hardware is that, as supposedly tiny tools, they require huge packages to download and often require specific version of Python (3.8 while most modern Linux distro come with 3.10+) and most of the time you’re required to make these massive download (+6GiB of libraries, pip packages and various dependencies/sdk)… just to give one single try. If you mess with something, it’s all over again.
What I’ve found more useful, is using huggingface.I was forgetting about Bark! thanks for remind me… luckily is already available on hugface here
