Block has unveiled a new artificial intelligence voice model characterized by its lifelike quality. The technology is designed to produce speech that closely resembles a real person.
According to the company, the model is capable of running locally on hardware, specifically naming the MacBook M4 Max as a compatible device for this type of on-device processing.
What it means
By enabling local execution on powerful consumer hardware, the model reduces reliance on cloud infrastructure for generating high-fidelity audio. This approach leverages the specific capabilities of the M4 Max chip to handle the computational demands of the voice synthesis.
