Weights AI — the service also known as Weights.gg — shut down on 1 April 2026, and OpenAI, which later acquired its technology and team, has indicated it does not plan to revive it. Here is what that means for models you trained there, and what you can still recover.
.pth? Use it in the voice converter.Selected job
Epoch progress comes directly from the running RVC trainer.
An inference-ready early model is available while training continues.
It has been validated, backed up, and added to your model library.

Pricing
Your first training is free - then pay only for the cloud training you use. Every account also includes five voice-conversion download minutes.
Your first training is free. After that, choose a single training, a three-training pack, or Unlimited for regular use. Every model you train is yours to download and keep.
Training balance
One balance for every NiceVois training. Your balance never expires. For more voice-conversion downloads, choose a monthly plan below.
20% off your first balance purchase. Applied automatically at checkout.
Create a free account and your first voice training is free. It also comes with five voice-conversion download minutes. A shared 10-minute free allowance per rolling 24 hours covers both separators, noise removal and reverb removal, with no account needed.
Checking eligibility...One-time, not a subscription. At current quotes, $5 covers up to 11 one-minute tests at 100 epochs, 4 five-minute runs at 180 epochs, or 2 ten-minute runs at 180 epochs. The exact cost and balance left are shown before training.
Pay different amounts for short tests and longer, stronger training.
Best for creators training several voices or comparing epoch settings.
Monthly conversion plans
Use the included free minutes first. Subscribe only when you need more conversion downloads; monthly plans also include renewable training credit.
Pricing
Use every tool with Unlimited, or buy one or three voice trainings without a subscription.
25% off your first month. Regular monthly price after that.
Every tool, unlimited: voice training, voice conversion, stem separation and cleanup. Train multiple voices at once.

Persistent cloud storage
Your voice models are files you own. Download them once and no platform can take them away.
Your .pth, .index, ZIP, and private listening preview remain available after closing the browser or restarting your computer. A model from the free training run is kept for 7 days and shows its expiry date; download it before then. Full-resolution source audio and temporary training files are removed after validation.
Checking private cloud storage…
Weights.gg was acquired by OpenAI and its services were discontinued on 1 April 2026. If you did not export your .pth and .index files before then, those models are gone and cannot be retrieved from the platform. The underlying RVC technology is unaffected and still open source, so the voice can be trained again from the original audio.
This page exists because most search results for the shutdown recommend text-to-speech products that cannot produce an RVC model file at all. If what you actually want is a portable .pth back, that is a narrower problem with a clearer answer.
The company announced the closure in January 2026, saying the platform had never been profitable, and closed it on 31 March. OpenAI acquired its technology and team afterwards rather than continuing the products. The platform had hosted a large public catalogue of community-uploaded voice models, including many unauthorised celebrity and artist voices, which carried obvious legal exposure. OpenAI has indicated it does not plan to revive those products.
| What you had | Recoverable? |
|---|---|
| Model files you downloaded to your own drive | Yes — they still work in any compatible RVC interface, including the NiceVois voice converter |
| Models that only ever lived on the platform | No |
| Community models made by other people | No, unless that person republished them elsewhere |
| Your original source audio | Yes, if you kept it — and that is all you need to retrain |
Check your drive before assuming the worst. A great many people exported a ZIP at some point and forgot. Search your downloads folder for .pth and .index. Those files are self-contained and do not expire, and you can convert with them here without training anything again.
Weights.gg did several unrelated jobs at once: it hosted a public model catalogue, it produced AI covers in the browser, and it trained models from uploaded audio. Most services now recommended as replacements only address the first two, or replace the whole thing with a text-to-speech voice you cannot export.
The part with the fewest replacements is training. Running RVC locally requires a capable NVIDIA GPU, a Python environment, and a tolerance for notebooks that break. That is the specific gap worth solving.
If you still have the source audio, the model can be rebuilt. RVC training does not depend on the old platform in any way — it produces the same standard .pth and .index files that any compatible interface will load. See the dataset preparation guide for what makes a good source recording, and the epoch guide for how long to train.
For the longer story of what the platform got right and why the free model could not last, read the Weights.gg case study.
The legal pressure that contributed to the shutdown has not gone away. Use your own voice, or a voice you have clear permission to train. Our acceptable use policy sets out what that means here.
Upload permitted audio and download a portable .pth, .index, and complete ZIP that you keep. The first training is free with an account.
