Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS
— Replicate (@replicate) 15 avril 2026
You can steer how the model speaks by dropping tags right into the text:
"[like dracula] Hey there, I'm a new text to speech model and I can say things in many different ways. How can I help you today?"

Cognitive Architecture Performance: Local vs Cloud Models
By
