   Ollama v0.40.11 Adds Local Speech Generation on macOS

   Ollama v0.40.11 adds speech generation on macOS, using Gradium’s Phonon text-to-speech model family, the platform’s first supported speech-model family. The Ollama command can speak text or chat-model replies as audio is generated, while applications can stream audio through the OpenAI-compatible /v1/audio/speech endpoint. 9to5Mac reports that the feature is available for Apple Silicon Macs running Ollama 0.40.11 or later, with Windows and Linux support described as coming soon.

   Gradium released Phonon, a collection of open-source text-to-speech models with 31M and 40M parameters designed for on-device use. Gradium says the fully open-source inference stack supports more than 10 CPU, GPU and NPU backends, most of which are implemented in Rust.

   Baseten offers dedicated Gradium TTS deployment

   Baseten published a post describing Gradium TTS as available in its Model Library as a dedicated deployment. Baseten says the model targets real-time voice agents and uses Delayed Streams Modeling, a framework developed by Kyutai that aligns text and audio on a shared 80 ms clock and runs the audio stream a few steps behind the text, so speech can begin before the full response has been generated. The post also cites Coval benchmarks reporting a median time-to-first-audio of 214 ms as of September 2026, which Baseten describes as faster than typical human speech response times.
