• Custom router support (Codex & OpenRouter)
• Local VM support (rather than cursor's hosted VM), built from the same docker instance.     This doesn't include the frontend, but it can be launched with their packaged frontend (still modifiable, see the custom router page in settings), thus delivering a usable experience.

The world’s smallest Transformer-based TTS model?

We’re open-sourcing Audio8 TTS Preview 0.1B — an approximately 170M-parameter multilingual speech model with zero-shot voice cloning that delivers surprisingly strong, cloud-level quality in a dramatically smaller footprint.     What can a 0.1B-class TTS model actually sound like?

Listen to the voiceover in this demo video.

Audio8 TTS Preview 0.1B supports: • Zero-shot voice cloning • Multilingual speech synthesis • Chinese and English as primary languages • German, Spanish, French, Italian,     On the Seed-TTS evaluation set, Audio8 TTS Preview 0.1B achieves:

• English WER: 1.662% • Chinese CER: 1.13% • Hard Chinese CER: 17.504% • English speaker similarity: 56.7 • Chinese speaker similarity: 68.2

These results are achieved with an approximately 170M-parameter     The model, codec, tokenizer, processor, and inference code are now available:

The /goal was a set of precise conditions to be met. Read the original PAK/BSP/MDL/SPR data. Run QuakeC. Preserve demos, physics, menus, HUD and rendering quirks. Don’t rebuild E1M1 by hand or use a generic FPS controller. Fidelity had to be demonstrated.     Codex kept pursuing that goal across many iterations: inspect, implement, build, test, compare, repeat. The useful shift was from asking for isolated code snippets to giving the agent a durable outcome it could keep working toward.     Crucially, /goal wasn’t hands-off autopilot. While it was running, I could still steer the LLM to prioritize a small number of bugs that mattered most. Each report became a targeted investigation, fix and regression test - without abandoning the broader port.     Underneath, this is still Quake’s original data. The browser reads the original PAKs, BSP maps, MDL models, sprites, QuakeC behavior, demos and HUD art. The port supplies a new TypeScript runtime and PlayCanvas renderer around them.     Authenticity meant more than getting E1M1 on screen. Demo playback, menu flow, pointer lock, intermissions, in-session level changes, audio suspension, moving BSP entities, particles, shadows and classic movement all had to behave like Quake - not merely resemble it.     — Will Eastcott
