I think the results are quite good. The model has been currently trained to 1805 epochs on a 3090, and I may upload further epochs later. The purpose of the model is for AI companion mods, or as a good general voice for local LLM chatting. You can find more information on Piper here: [https://github.com/rhasspy/piper](https://github.com/rhasspy/piper) ## Examples `The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture is one of the most important unsolved problems in mathematics today. It concerns elliptic curves - which are algebraic equations defined by cubic polynomials - and their associated L-functions. These L-functions encode information about the arithmetic properties of an elliptic curve, such as its rank, which is a measure of how many rational points there are on the curve.` `Rituals are important to humans, I've learned.` `The beige hue on the waters of the loch impressed all, including the French queen, before she heard that symphony again, just as young Arthur wanted.` `A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky.`
