So, when can we expect an open source release of the tech and model?

This is Google, so they'll release a paper and then someone will clone it as an Apache project. Or maybe Linux Foundation these days.

I sure hope so, although I am extremely angered that they don’t release the model.

Google is only having any success with this because they are getting training data from the public for free, they should also return the model to the public for free (at least for noncommercial use)

And their Web ranking model and their spam filtering model? Face it, Google's gonna be Google.

(And I don't think WaveNet is even based on public training data.)

Well, we have to have some ideals, so we can work towards them.

Public Money, Public Code should also extend to Public Data, Public Code.

Never, and it fucking sucks.

Do you know any higher quality speech synthesis software?

Nope.

Does anyone have experience/success training WaveNet on their own?
