PowerBeef is a gamertag from a long time ago. I'm keeping it.
I build Vocello — on-device text-to-speech and voice cloning for Mac and iPhone, running entirely locally. It started as a side quest: I wanted voices for the characters in a game I was making, the tooling was a command line, so I built an interface over it. The game never shipped. Vocello did — a native Swift + MLX engine now, faster than realtime on an 8 GB M2. The wrapper leveled up into the final boss of local AI TTS on Apple silicon.
