This session is being continued from a previous conversation that ran out of context. The summary below covers the earlier portion of the conversation.

Summary:
1. Primary Request and Intent:
   The user wanted to download and test **Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-0.6B-Base** (a text-to-speech model from `https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-0.6B-Base`) locally on an NVIDIA A100-SXM4-80GB GPU. They wanted maximum accuracy testing, all work isolated to a single folder `quench_0.6b` at `/home/ubuntu/quench_0.6b/`. Over the conversation, the scope expanded to:
   - Test maximum TTS accuracy (WER/CER via Whisper transcription)
   - Test concurrency and batch generation performance
   - Measure RTF (Real-Time Factor) across inference engines
   - Run a full production load test with TTFB, concurrency limits, and capacity planning for 10,000 concurrent voice agent users
   - Explore inference engines (vLLM, TensorRT, etc.) for production serving

2. Key Technical Concepts:
   - **Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-0.6B-Base**: 596M param TTS model using `qwen-tts` package, supports voice cloning from reference audio
   - **faster-qwen3-tts**: CUDA graph-based inference engine for Qwen3-TTS, provides streaming and non-streaming generation
   - **RTF (Real-Time Factor)**: ratio of generation time to audio duration. RTF < 1.0 = faster than real-time
   - **TTFB (Time To First Byte)**: time until the first audio chunk is available in streaming mode
   - **WER/CER**: Word Error Rate / Character Error Rate — measured by transcribing generated audio with Whisper large-v2 and comparing to input text
   - **Batch TTS generation**: `qwen_tts` natively supports passing lists of texts for parallel GPU processing
   - **Voice clone prompt caching**: `create_voice_clone_prompt()` pre-processes reference audio once, reused across all generations
   - **Text normalization**: Removing punctuation, lowercasing, traditional→simplified Chinese conversion for fair WER/CER comparison
   - **vLLM-Omni**: Official vLLM fork with day-0 Qwen3-TTS support (offline inference only currently, online serving coming later)
   - **CUDA graphs**: Pre-compiled GPU execution paths that eliminate CPU dispatch overhead

3. Files and Code Sections:

   - **`/home/ubuntu/quench_0.6b/eval_tts.py`** — Main accuracy evaluation script
     - Tests 21 sentences across 7 languages (English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish)
     - Uses batch TTS generation grouped by language
     - Pre-caches voice clone prompt once
     - Whisper large-v2 transcription with beam=5, best_of=5
     - Text normalization for fair WER/CER comparison
     - Results: 18/21 perfect (0% error), English 0% WER, Chinese errors from Whisper trad/simp mismatch

   - **`/home/ubuntu/quench_0.6b/bench_rtf.py`** — RTF benchmark comparing 3 engines
     - Tests 15 English sentences, 3 runs each with 2 warmup
     - Engine 1: `qwen_tts` sequential (RTF 1.74)
     - Engine 1b: `qwen_tts` batch x15 (RTF 0.16, **best throughput**)
     - Engine 2: `faster-qwen3-tts` CUDA graphs (RTF 0.32, **best single-request latency**)

   - **`/home/ubuntu/quench_0.6b/load_test.py`** — Production load test
     - Test 1: Streaming TTFB measurement (30 requests via faster-qwen3-tts)
     - Test 2: Batch throughput scaling (batch sizes 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30)
     - Test 3: 60s sustained load stress test
     - Capacity planning calculations for concurrent voice agent users
     - Key fix: streaming API yields 3 values (wav, sr, info_dict) not 2
     ```python
     for chunk_data in model.generate_voice_clone_streaming(...):
         chunk_wav = chunk_data[0]
         chunk_sr = chunk_data[1]
     ```
     - Results:
       - TTFB p50: 378ms, p99: 380ms
       - Batch 30: RTF 0.088, 2.74 req/s, 11.4 audio sec/sec
       - Max concurrent users: ~28 (streaming), ~114 (batch) per A100
       - 10,000 users: ~88 A100s (batch) or ~358 A100s (streaming)

   - **`/home/ubuntu/quench_0.6b/ref_audio.wav`** — Reference audio for voice cloning
     - Generated via gTTS because official Alibaba OSS URL returned 403 Forbidden
     - 8.78s, 24kHz, mono

   - **`/home/ubuntu/quench_0.6b/results/`** — Output directory containing:
     - `evaluation_results.json` — full accuracy results
     - `rtf_benchmark.json` — RTF benchmark results
     - `load_test_results.json` — production load test results
     - `*.wav` — 21+ generated audio files

   - **`/home/ubuntu/quench_0.6b/run_benchmarks.sh`** — Old (wrong) LM benchmark script, no longer relevant

4. Errors and fixes:
   - **Wrong model initially**: Interpreted "QAN 3.0.6p" as Qwen3-0.6B language model, ran lm-eval benchmarks
     - Fixed: User provided exact HuggingFace URL for Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-0.6B-Base
   - **flash-attn installation failed**: System nvcc is 11.5, flash-attn needs ≥11.7
     - Fixed: Skipped flash-attn, used SDPA attention instead (no accuracy impact, slight speed impact)
   - **Whisper large-v3 not found**: Only large-v2 available in installed whisper version
     - Fixed: Changed to `whisper.load_model("large-v2")`
   - **Reference audio 403 Forbidden**: `https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3-TTS-Repo/clone.wav` blocked
     - Fixed: Generated reference audio locally using gTTS + ffmpeg conversion to 24kHz WAV
   - **Inflated WER from Whisper formatting**: Numbers transcribed as digits ("250" vs "two hundred and fifty"), Chinese in traditional characters
     - Fixed: Added `normalize_text()` function with punctuation removal, lowercasing, traditional→simplified Chinese mapping
   - **Print bug in eval summary**: `KeyError: 'avg_norm_wer'` — accessing wrong dict keys in per-language summary
     - Fixed: Changed to `np.mean(v['norm_wer'])`
   - **Streaming API signature mismatch**: `generate_voice_clone_streaming` yields 3 values (wav, sr, info_dict), code expected 2
     - Fixed: Changed `for chunk_wav, chunk_sr in ...` to `for chunk_data in ...: chunk_wav = chunk_data[0]; chunk_sr = chunk_data[1]`
   - **Warmup streaming calls**: Used `list()` on generator which didn't consume properly
     - Fixed: Changed to `for _ in model.generate_voice_clone_streaming(...): pass`

5. Problem Solving:
   - Solved model identification (TTS not LM)
   - Solved reference audio acquisition (local gTTS generation)
   - Solved fair accuracy evaluation (text normalization)
   - Solved throughput optimization (batch generation 11x speedup)
   - Solved production capacity planning (TTFB, concurrency, scaling estimates)
   - Discovered vLLM-Omni has official Qwen3-TTS support but only offline inference — not yet explored

6. All user messages:
   - "Brother, I want you to get the QAN 3.0.6p locally, and I want you to test the maximum accuracy we can get on this GPU. I want you to go ahead and go all in and check. And you fucking don't care about any other files in this repo in this GPU. You fucking only create one folder, quench 0.6b, and only focus on that. You fucking don't know anything other than that."
   - "What is happening?"
   - "What model are you using? I am using qwen 0.6b TTS model"
   - "https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-0.6B-Base"
   - "concurrency"
   - "just tst concunnecy and rtf just use english ... and can we use any infernce engines"
   - "what is concurrency"
   - "fuck brother u need to check concurrency along with ttfb .. if i use this as tts to my voice agent in prod where 10000 people using my voice agent how fuck i know what is the capability of this model"
   - "status"
   - "what is wall time .. do we dont have any inference engine for this"

7. Pending Tasks:
   - **Set up vLLM-Omni for Qwen3-TTS**: Official vLLM fork supports Qwen3-TTS (offline inference). User explicitly asked about inference engines. The README shows: `vLLM-Omni` with examples at `https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/tree/main/examples/offline_inference/qwen3_tts`. `vllm-omni 0.16.0` is already installed on the system.
   - Potentially benchmark vLLM-Omni vs faster-qwen3-tts vs baseline for production comparison

8. Current Work:
   The user asked "what is wall time .. do we dont have any inference engine for this" — questioning whether proper inference engines exist for Qwen3-TTS beyond the basic Python packages tested. I had just discovered that:
   - **vLLM does NOT support** `qwen3_tts` architecture directly (error: "Transformers does not recognize this architecture")
   - **vLLM-Omni** (v0.16.0, already installed) has official day-0 support for Qwen3-TTS with offline inference
   - **SGLang** (v0.5.9) was installed but not tested
   - **TensorRT** (v10.14) is available but no direct export path found
   - The official Qwen3-TTS README confirms vLLM-Omni support with examples at `https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/tree/main/examples/offline_inference/qwen3_tts`

   I had just fetched the vLLM usage section from the README but had not yet attempted to run vLLM-Omni inference or benchmark it.

9. Optional Next Step:
   Set up and benchmark **vLLM-Omni** for Qwen3-TTS inference, comparing its RTF/TTFB/throughput against the already-tested faster-qwen3-tts and baseline qwen_tts engines. The user's most recent message was: "what is wall time .. do we dont have any inference engine for this" — and I found that vLLM-Omni is installed (`vllm-omni 0.16.0`) with official Qwen3-TTS support documented at `https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/tree/main/examples/offline_inference/qwen3_tts`.

Continue the conversation from where it left off without asking the user any further questions. Resume directly — do not acknowledge the summary, do not recap what was happening, do not preface with "I'll continue" or similar. Pick up the last task as if the break never happened.


The user wants me to continue setting up and benchmarking vLLM-Omni for Qwen3-TTS inference. Let me first check the vLLM-Omni examples to understand the API, then write and run a benchmark script.

    Generate outputs for the given prompts.

    Orchestrates the multi-stage pipeline based on YAML configuration.
    Each stage will use OmniLLM or OmniDiffusion based on stage_type.

    Args:
        prompts: Input prompt(s) for generation.
        sampling_params_list: Optional list of per-stage parameters.
        py_generator: Whether the returned result(s) are wrapped in a generator instead of a list.
        use_tqdm: Whether to use tqdm progress bar

    Returns:
        List of OmniRequestOutput objects, one for each input prompt.
        Each output contains the stage_id, final_output_type, and
        the request_output from the final stage.

    Raises:
        ValueError: If sampling_params_list is None or has incorrect length.

   115→
   116→**Important:** `--batch-size` must match a CUDA graph capture size (1, 2, 4, 8, 16...) because the Talker's code predictor KV cache is sized to `max_num_seqs`, and CUDA graphs pad the batch to the next capture size. Both stages need `max_num_seqs >= batch_size` in the stage config for batching to take effect. If only stage 1 has a higher `max_num_seqs`, it won't help — stage 1 can only batch chunks from requests that are in-flight simultaneously, which requires stage 0 to also process multiple requests concurrently.

# Qwen3-TTS

This directory contains an offline demo for running Qwen3 TTS models with vLLM Omni. It builds task-specific inputs and generates WAV files locally.

## Model Overview

Qwen3 TTS provides multiple task variants for speech generation:

- **CustomVoice**: Generate speech with a known speaker identity (speaker ID) and optional instruction.
- **VoiceDesign**: Generate speech from text plus a descriptive instruction that designs a new voice.
- **Base**: Voice cloning using a reference audio + reference transcript, with optional mode selection.

## Setup
Please refer to the [stage configuration documentation](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/configuration/stage_configs/) to configure memory allocation appropriately for your hardware setup.

### ROCm Dependencies

You will need to install these two dependencies `onnxruntime-rocm` and `sox`.

```
pip uninstall onnxruntime # should be removed before we can install onnxruntime-rocm
pip install onnxruntime-rocm sox
```

## Quick Start

Run a single sample for a task:

```
python end2end.py --query-type CustomVoice
```

Generated audio files are saved to `output_audio/` by default.

## Task Usage

### CustomVoice

Single sample:

```
python end2end.py --query-type CustomVoice
```

Batch sample (multiple prompts in one run):

```
python end2end.py --query-type CustomVoice --use-batch-sample
```

### VoiceDesign

Single sample:

```
python end2end.py --query-type VoiceDesign
```

Batch sample:

```
python end2end.py --query-type VoiceDesign --use-batch-sample
```

### Base (Voice Clone)

Single sample:

```
python end2end.py --query-type Base
```

Batch sample:

```
python end2end.py --query-type Base --use-batch-sample
```

Mode selection for Base:

- `--mode-tag icl` (default): standard mode
- `--mode-tag xvec_only`: enable `x_vector_only_mode` in the request

Examples:

```
python end2end.py --query-type Base --mode-tag icl
```

## Streaming Mode

Add `--streaming` to stream audio chunks progressively via `AsyncOmni` (requires `async_chunk: true` in the stage config):

```bash
python end2end.py --query-type CustomVoice --streaming --output-dir /tmp/out_stream
```

Each Code2Wav chunk is logged as it arrives (default 25 frames; configurable via `codec_chunk_frames`
in the stage config). The initial chunk size is dynamically selected based on server load for reduced
TTFA, and can be overridden per-request via the `initial_codec_chunk_frames` API field. The final WAV file is written once generation
completes. This demonstrates that audio data is available progressively rather than only at the end.

> **Note:** Streaming uses `AsyncOmni` internally. The non-streaming path (`Omni`) is unchanged.

## Batched Decoding

The Code2Wav stage (stage 1) supports batched decoding, where multiple requests are decoded in a single forward pass through the SpeechTokenizer. To use it, provide a stage config with `max_num_seqs > 1` and pass multiple prompts via `--txt-prompts` with a matching `--batch-size`.

```
python end2end.py --query-type CustomVoice \
    --txt-prompts benchmark_prompts.txt \
    --batch-size 4 \
    --stage-configs-path vllm_omni/model_executor/stage_configs/qwen3_tts_batch.yaml
```

**Important:** `--batch-size` must match a CUDA graph capture size (1, 2, 4, 8, 16...) because the Talker's code predictor KV cache is sized to `max_num_seqs`, and CUDA graphs pad the batch to the next capture size. Both stages need `max_num_seqs >= batch_size` in the stage config for batching to take effect. If only stage 1 has a higher `max_num_seqs`, it won't help — stage 1 can only batch chunks from requests that are in-flight simultaneously, which requires stage 0 to also process multiple requests concurrently.

## Notes

- The script uses the model paths embedded in `end2end.py`. Update them if your local cache path differs.
- Use `--output-dir` to change the output folder.
