Gradium's Phonon runs without a server, in about 65 MB and 75 MB sizes, across five languages. The English 31-million-parameter model is Apache 2.0. The other models are non-commercial. Local does not mean "sell it in your app."

Why it matters. The English 31-million-parameter model is Apache 2.0. The other models are non-commercial.

For people who want on-device speech. Recheck the model card before you ship a language other than that English model.
