Validate activity before betting a new project on DeepSpeed-MII. - Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic. ## When NOT to use CosyVoice - If your project specifically requires fine-tuned performance in languages not supported by CosyVoice such as Arabic or Spanish. - When strict real-time speech synthesis requirements are essential, as CosyVoice may face delays depending on the environment's computational power and model complexity. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between DeepSpeed-MII and CosyVoice?
