llama.cpp b10311 Release Enhances TTS Generation
The b10311 release of llama.cpp tackles inefficiencies in text-to-speech (TTS) generation by refining how text streams are processed. Previously, the system would redundantly handle utterances, causing them to be read twice before completion. This update aligns the streaming overlay with the non-streaming prefill, effectively eliminating the duplication. Developers working with TTS systems will find this change streamlines the generation process and boosts efficiency. The update is accessible on macOS, Linux, and Windows, ensuring that a broad range of users can benefit from these improvements.
