When NOT to use MARS5-TTS
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- When you require immediate access to pre-built output-generating Docker images, since as of now these are not yet available despite plans for their future addition.
- If your project needs a model that does not involve the GNU AGPL-3.0 license, because this might impose restrictions on how derivative works can be distributed.
