Repo is back but code is gone, with this statement:

> 2025-09-05: VibeVoice is an open-source research framework intended to advance collaboration in the speech synthesis community. After release, we discovered instances where the tool was used in ways inconsistent with the stated intent. Since responsible use of AI is one of Microsoft’s guiding principles, we have disabled the repo until we are confident that out-of-scope use is no longer possible.

What was that about?
