voxcpm-rs brings VoxCPM2 inference to Rust

voxcpm-rs is a pure-Rust inference library for running the VoxCPM2 zero-shot TTS and voice-cloning model locally, using Burn with CPU, CPU-BLAS, and wgpu GPU backends. It targets Rust apps that want offline speech generation without Python, PyTorch, CUDA, or ONNX Runtime.

// ANALYSIS

This is niche but useful infrastructure: not a new model, but a cleaner path for embedding open-source voice synthesis into native Rust software.

–VoxCPM2 already has the interesting model story: 2B parameters, multilingual TTS, voice design, voice cloning, and 48kHz output.
–The Rust angle matters for desktop apps, CLI tools, games, and self-hosted services where shipping a Python CUDA stack is painful.
–wgpu support makes the project more portable than CUDA-only wrappers, though real-world performance and parity will need community testing.
–The project is still tiny, so treat it as promising early infrastructure rather than a mature production runtime.
