Open-weight TTS and voice clone, self-hostable

VoiceFreemiumLLM-drafted

Part of this entry was LLM-drafted and is being polished.

Fish Audio releases open-weight TTS and voice-clone models — Fish Speech is widely used in open-source voice projects. Hosted version is cheap; self-host is free. Strong on Chinese / Japanese / English voices.

Editor's verdict

Best open-weight voice option for Chinese / Japanese — fills a gap that ElevenLabs / OpenAI cover but at much lower cost when self-hosted. Quality trails closed leaders by a small margin in 2025; the gap is narrowing fast. Pick this when self-hosting is a hard requirement (privacy, cost at scale, embedded products).
