Decision brief
Bark is a text-to-speech model that generates audio from text prompts, supporting both CPU and GPU inference with varying performance based on hardware capabilities.
Good fit when
- Use Bark when you need to generate audio from text prompts and have access to hardware with at least 8GB of VRAM for smaller models or 12GB for the full version.
- Consider Bark if you are working with PyTorch 2.0+ and CUDA 11.7 or 12.0, as it can generate audio in real-time on enterprise GPUs.
Avoid when
- Avoid Bark if your hardware is limited to older GPUs or CPUs, as inference times might be significantly slower, impacting productivity.
- Do not use Bark if you require a package installed via `pip install bark`, as this installs a different package not managed by Suno.
