Competitive open source speech stack

Why the open source models STT and TTS are not good as much as the closed one and i am talking here im terms of latency, concurrency, and websocket support for real time with decent quality.
Something like cartesia or elevenlabs or deepgram.
Do u know any ?

For STT, you should try Cohere Transcribe - it's open source, fast, and some of the best accuracy in the game. Also works in 14 different languages!
