Weights.gg, the community site for training and sharing AI voice models, discontinued its services in 2026. Its website notice says services and content ended on 1 April 2026, and in May 2026 the New York Times reported that OpenAI had acquired its small team and intellectual property (Pulse 2.0, Techstrong.ai). Reports say OpenAI does not plan to relaunch it as a public platform. If you used Weights to make covers, here is what changes and what to look for next.
Key takeaways
- Weights’ hosted models and covers are no longer available; keep any files you downloaded.
- Much of Weights’ public catalogue was celebrity voices. Most serious alternatives now focus on your own voice.
- Tera Studio makes covers in your own voice from about 2 minutes of you singing, with guided steps on phone or computer.
- Compare alternatives by the result on your own test song, not by feature lists.
What Weights did, and what you lose
Weights let people train voice models, share them, and make covers with them for free, and it grew a large community and Discord around that. With the service discontinued, models hosted there and covers stored there are gone unless you saved them. Training files you kept on your own device are still yours.
The other change is the direction of the industry. Catalogues of famous voices drew legal pressure across the AI-cover space, and the services that remain increasingly ask you to use voices you have the right to use.
Making covers in your own voice with Tera Studio
Tera Studio is built for one job: a song you choose, sung in your voice.
- Choose a song file (up to 10 minutes; use a part of up to 5). No file? There’s a licensed birthday song built in.
- Record about 2 minutes of yourself singing in a quiet room. The recorder guides you with a timer and a ring that fills up.
- Start it. Your private voice model is trained once, then reused for every later song.
- Listen, rate it, and download the audio or a song-card video.
You don’t manage training settings, epochs or pitch algorithms; the guided flow chooses them. If a result isn’t right, tap Needs work and choose what’s wrong: a song marked Needs work can be remade free from a new, longer recording.
For more control over a cover, the Studio area of your account also has advanced cover settings.
How to compare alternatives fairly
| Check | What to do |
|---|---|
| Same input | Use the same song section and the same recording of your voice everywhere |
| Your voice | Ask a friend who doesn’t know which is which: which one sounds like you? |
| Clarity | Are the words clear? Can you hear the original singer underneath? |
| Real cost | Free tier limits, monthly price, and what a download actually costs |
| Rights | Whose voices are allowed, and who can use what you make |

Is Tera Studio free like Weights was? You can make and hear up to 2 whole songs free (up to 4 minutes each, with a soft chime). Downloads need a plan.
Does it work for Hindi and other Indian languages? Yes. The words come from the original song, so any song with a clear lead vocal can work.
