Quick Piper Voices

apt install -y git-lfs

mkdir /piper-voices &&
cd /piper-voices &&
git init &&
git remote add origin https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices &&
git sparse-checkout init --cone &&
git sparse-checkout set en &&
git config --local lfs.fetchinclude "en/**" &&
git pull origin main

JUNK, need to delete, don't document any further

Consider:

• Look at starting speakturbo-daemon behind the scenes
• Replacing speakturbo with Piper, and ability to clone voices locally.

Model Review

qwen3:8b-q4_K_M

Not bad, but tends to over think and then suddenly gets really dumb. Need to play more, but it's kinda slow.

qwen3:8b-q8_0

I thought the q4_K_M variant was a thinker, this one is insanely big thinking.

/no_think doesn't seem to have any effect , which is annoying as hell.

qwen3:4b-instruct-2507-q4_K_M

honestly, pretty trash. didn't really do anything i asked, even though it claimed it did.
