Btw, TTS has come such a long way, @GoogleDeepMind cooked with gemini-3.1-flash-tts

I gave Codex my google credentials and it oneshotted the Gemini TTS implementation

When I built this 4 years ago, Azure TTS used to be SOTA. Then @ElevenLabs came in and raised the bar super high. Now Google is going after their lunch with controllable expressiveness at scale. I cheer for both!

Here is Manim Voiceover demo from 4 years ago with Gemini TTS (sound on)
