Dots TTS MF

Q: Can Dots TTS MF run locally?

Dots TTS MF is listed by LocalClaw as a local TTS option. Hardware fit depends on runtime, model size and backend support.

Catalogue summary: 2B fully continuous end-to-end autoregressive TTS system with zero-shot voice cloning. The MF checkpoint distills dots.tts-soar with MeanFlow for few-step, low-latency inference at 48 kHz, while keeping strong speaker similarity and natural prosody. Apache 2.0.
