Agreed.

I think they should have added the fact that it's English only in the title at the very least.

Yes, apart from voice cloning nothing really new. Kokoro is out since a long time and it supports at least a few languages other than english. Also there is supertonic TTS and there is Soprano TTS. The latter is developed by a single guy while Kyutai is funded with 150M€.
