It supports multi-language capability and provides prebuilt images for various hardware types. ## Choose when ### Choose AudioGPT if… - License: AudioGPT is Other, Kokoro-FastAPI is Apache-2.0. - Tags unique to AudioGPT: audio, gpt, music, sound. - - Utilize AudioGPT when you need to generate speech or music with specific style transfer capabilities using GenerSpeech. ### Choose Kokoro-FastAPI if… - License: Kokoro-FastAPI is Apache-2.0, AudioGPT is Other. - Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; Requires Docker; Hardware-specific Docker images are provided for CUDA, ROCm (experimental), and CPU support.; Users without supported GPUs can still utilize the service via a CPU image.. - Tags unique to Kokoro-FastAPI: docker, fastapi, kokoro tts, multi-gpu support. - You require a solution that can auto-download models and run natively on Apple Silicon (MPS) with support via UV. ## When NOT to use AudioGPT - - Avoid AudioGPT if your audio processing toolkit needs to be exclusively self-contained; some model references are external links requiring separate access. - - Do not use for projects that absolutely need completed features for all tasks as certain capabilities (speech translation) are still work-in-progress. ## When NOT to use Kokoro-FastAPI - If your hardware is not supported by the provided Docker images, for example, if you do not have a compatible NVIDIA, AMD GPU or CPU setup. - You are looking for non-Dockerized solutions. Kokoro-FastAPI focuses on containerization and might not fit environments that strictly avoid containers. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between AudioGPT and Kokoro-FastAPI?
