Waterr’s realtime voice engine — including ORI-Realtime 1.5 — uses open speech models and reference audio from publicly-released datasets. This page provides the attributions required by their respective licenses.

Speech foundations

ORI-Realtime 1.5 builds on open speech models released by Kyutai:
  • Kyutai streaming TTS (kyutai.org/tts) — text-to-speech model weights, CC BY 4.0.
  • Kyutai streaming STT — speech-to-text model weights, CC BY 4.0.
  • Unmute serving components — open-source code released by Kyutai under permissive licenses (MIT/Apache-2.0).
The semantic turn engine configuration, reasoning orchestration, serving infrastructure, and the ORI-Realtime API are built by Waterr.
