ソニーは最近、サンディエゴのビジュアルアーツスタジオとマレーシアのPSスタジオの視覚芸術スタジオから不特定の数の従業員を解雇しました。 Kotakuによると、影響を受けたスタッフは今週、最終日が3月7日になることを通知されました。これらのレイオフには、Bend Studioでの最近キャンセルされたライブサービスゲームを含むさまざまなプロジェクトに取り組んだ開発者が含まれていました。アートとテクニカルサポートで知られる視覚芸術は、他のPlayStation First-Party Studiosと協力しています。
IGNは、PS Studios Malaysiaの少なくとも1つとともに、視覚芸術からのレイオフを確認したLinkedInのいくつかの開発者を特定しました。元ビジュアルアーツの従業員は、これらのレイオフは「複数のプロジェクトのキャンセル」の結果であると述べました。
これは、2023年の同様のイベントに続いて、過去2年以内に視覚芸術のレイオフの第2ラウンドを示しています。視覚芸術とスタジオの進行中のプロジェクトの現在の従業員数は不明のままです。 IGNは、この問題についてPlayStationからコメントを求めています。
これらのレイオフは、2023年に始まったゲーム業界での雇用削減とプロジェクトのキャンセルの広範な傾向の一部です。その年には10,000人以上のゲーム開発者が解雇されました。2025年には14,000人以上に増加した数字です。
It seems you're referring to Machi EOS, which is a popular AI voice model known for its expressive and emotional voice synthesis — often used in voice generation tools like Machi (formerly known as "Machi Voice") for creating lifelike speech.
You mentioned "Machi EOS Offline Version", so let me clarify what you might be asking and help accordingly:
✅ What is Machi EOS?
Machi EOS is a high-quality, emotionally expressive AI voice model developed by Machi, designed to generate natural-sounding, human-like speech.
It's known for its ability to convey emotions like joy, sadness, excitement, and calm — ideal for content creators, audiobooks, games, and apps.
Originally released as a cloud-based API, but there have been growing demands for offline (local) versions.
❓ Can You Use Machi EOS Offline?
As of now (2024–2025):
Officially, Machi EOS does not have a fully released offline version.
The main Machi API is cloud-based, meaning you need an internet connection to use it.
However, some third-party developers and communities have experimented with:
Exporting voice models (if licensed)
Running models locally using tools like ONNX, TensorFlow Lite, or TorchScript
Forking or repackaging models (with caution regarding licenses)
⚠️ Important Notes:
Machi EOS is not open-source, so you cannot freely redistribute or modify the model without proper license approval.
Downloading and using Machi EOS offline without permission may violate terms of service.
Any "offline version" found online (e.g., on GitHub, Discord, or forums) might be:
A modified version (potentially illegal)
A demo or test version
A model trained from scratch using similar data (not the real Machi EOS)
✅ Safe & Legal Alternatives for Offline Voice Synthesis
If you want offline AI voice generation with emotional expression, consider:
Tool
Offline?
Emotion Support
Notes
Coqui TTS (TTS)
✅ Yes
✅ Yes
Open-source, supports emotional voices (e.g., V2), great for local use
Festival / MaryTTS
✅ Yes
❌ Limited
Older but reliable for basic TTS
OpenVoice (by MyShell)
✅ Yes
✅ Yes
Supports voice cloning and emotion, runs locally
ElevenLabs (Offline via API + caching)
⚠️ Partial
✅ Yes
Not fully offline, but can cache outputs
PlayHT / Lovo AI (Offline Mode?)
❌ No (mostly cloud)
✅ Yes
Mostly cloud-based
📌 Recommendation
If you're looking for Machi EOS-style voice generation offline, the best legal and safe path is:
Use Coqui TTS or OpenVoice with pre-trained emotional models.
Fine-tune or use a model that mimics Machi EOS’s expressive style (e.g., "Emotional TTS" models from Hugging Face).
Avoid unofficial "Machi EOS Offline" downloads — they may contain malware or violate copyright.
