The **usage** section of the Hugging Face page for Kokoro-82M outlines key deployment and application details. The model is available for **free deployment** in both production environments and personal projects under the **Apache-2.0 license**, with weights hosted on GitHub and a demo accessible via Hugging Face Spaces. It supports **multiple languages** and voices, though specific language details are not explicitly listed in the provided context. The model’s **cost efficiency** is emphasized, with API rates under **$1 per million characters** of input or **$0.06 per hour** of audio output, making it suitable for commercial and research applications. Users are warned about **fraudulent websites** impersonating Kokoro, such as “kokorottsai.com” and “kokorotts.net,” which are not affiliated with the official project. The model has been integrated into various **projects and competitions**, including TTS Spaces Arena and podcast-generation tools, and is supported by a **Discord community** for collaboration. The name “Kokoro,” meaning “heart” or “spirit” in Japanese, also references its role as an AI in the *Terminator* franchise, highlighting its cultural and technical significance. For implementation, users are directed to the **GitHub repository** and **Hugging Face Spaces demo** for hands-on experimentation.
