if properly scaled out, please reach out to me! I would love to collaborate on this. if properly scaled out, please reach out to me! I would love to collaborate on this.
## Acknowledgements
This project has garnered more praise than I expected. I am standing on the shoulders of giants, though, and I want to
credit a few of the amazing folks in the community that have helped make this happen:
- Hugging Face, who wrote the GPT model and the generate API used by Tortoise, and who hosts the model weights.
- [Ramesh et al](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2102.12092.pdf) who authored the DALLE paper, which is the inspiration behind Tortoise.
- [Nichol and Dhariwal](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2102.09672.pdf) who authored the (revision of) the code that drives the diffusion model.
- [Jang et al](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.07889.pdf) who developed and open-sourced univnet, the vocoder this repo uses.
- [lucidrains](https://github.com/lucidrains) who writes awesome open source pytorch models, many of which are used here.
- [Patrick von Platen](https://huggingface.co/patrickvonplaten) whose guides on setting up wav2vec were invaluable to building my dataset.
