I have been trying to use Claude Code on the Web (and also mobile) this morning, and the LLM responses are never showing up. There is a diff generated (so something is happening), but the text is just "Computing...", "Determining...", etc.

I'm looking for a way to bulk-generate audio based on text files. Ideally, it would be a system I can run locally (M3 mac, 24GB RAM), and support at least 10 languages natively.

I have tried a few systems (eSpeak, Piper, QWEN) and none of them have given satisfactory results. Huggingface seems to have no text-to-speech models with particular acclaim, either. I have been using OpenAI's gpt-4o-mini model, but that seems to be approaching end-of-life.

Is there an LLM (or non-LLM) system that you would recommend?

One of the Super Bowl commercials today was from Genspark.ai , a company I had not heard of before today. Their website looks like a generic ChatGPT clone. Their LinkedIn page boasts about their revenue, but doesn't describe what they do in a meaningful way.

Has anyone heard of this product, or used it? Is this anything other than a thin wrapper around another company's LLM agent?
