Hugging Face launches open TTS leaderboard
Hugging Face launched the Open TTS Leaderboard, using objective metrics to evaluate multilingual text-to-speech and voice cloning models, addressing arena-style leaderboards that cannot keep pace with open model releases. As of Sept 30, 2026, the Hub hosts over 8,000 TTS models, yet only 16 of 92 models on Artificial Analysis are open-weights.
