stacks/{fish-s2,voxtral,kyutai-tts}: three new TTS deploys for irv-ml1 quality A/B
Adds the three premier 2026 TTS releases we missed during the original
fleet build-out (early April), all licensed for self-host:
* Fish Audio S2-Pro (port 8195, GPU 1 / A6000) — released 2026-03-09.
4B dual-AR (Slow + Fast) trained on 10M+ hours / 80+ languages.
Headline: 15,000+ paralinguistic / emotion tags via natural language
([laugh] [whispers] [super happy] etc.) — a step-function over
Chatterbox Turbo's 9 fixed tags. 91.61% paralinguistic win rate on
EmergentTTS-Eval. ~150 ms streaming TTFB, voice cloning, MIT-style
open. ~17 GB VRAM.
* Voxtral TTS (port 8197, GPU 1 / A6000) — Mistral, released 2026-03-28.
4B open-weight, 70 ms model latency, 9.7× realtime. 68.4% blind A/B
win rate vs ElevenLabs Flash v2.5 in cloning. 8 languages
(EN/FR/DE/ES/IT/PT/NL/HI). Served via vLLM-Omni (Mistral's partner
serving stack) — published Docker image, no local build. ~16 GB VRAM.
CC BY-NC license — personal/research use only; flagged in README.
* Kyutai TTS (port 8198, GPU 0 / 3090) — kyutai/tts-1.6b-en_fr.
Trained on 2.5M hours from the Moshi/Mimi team. Claimed 220 ms in
solo setup, 32 simultaneous streams under 350 ms on L40. Kyutai's
official deploy is Rust + websockets only; using NillPointer's
community OpenAI-compat wrapper to bridge to /v1/audio/speech so
it slots into the same bench harness. ~4-6 GB VRAM.
Each stack: compose.yaml (build context, env, volumes, healthcheck,
homepage label), .env.example (all tunables documented), README.md
(why it exists, headline numbers, API, deploy + hardware notes).
Playbooks at playbooks/deploy-{fish-s2,voxtral,kyutai-tts}.yaml are
idempotent in the same shape as the existing deploy-vibevoice /
deploy-chatterbox playbooks.
Port allocations on irv-ml1 after this lands: 8188 ComfyUI, 8190
CosyVoice, 8191 Qwen3-TTS, 8192 IndexTTS-2, 8193 Kokoro, 8194
VibeVoice, 8195 Fish, 8196 Chatterbox, 8197 Voxtral, 8198 Kyutai,
8765 Parakeet ASR.

# Voxtral TTS

|

[mistralai/Voxtral-4B-TTS-2603](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Voxtral-4B-TTS-2603)
|
||||
— Mistral AI's 4B open-weight streaming TTS, served via the
|
||||
[vLLM-Omni](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni) production
|
||||
serving stack (Mistral co-developed). Released March 28, 2026.
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚠️ License
|
||||
|
||||
**CC BY-NC.** Personal use, research, and internal tooling are fine.
|
||||
**Don't ship Voxtral output in any commercial product** without
|
||||
re-licensing from Mistral. The other TTS in this fleet (Kokoro,
|
||||
Chatterbox, Fish S2-Pro, IndexTTS-2, Qwen3-TTS, CosyVoice) are all
|
||||
open-licensed and clean for commercial work.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why this stack exists
|
||||
|
||||
Multilingual streaming with serious speed:
|
||||
|
||||
| | use case |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **Voxtral** | multilingual EN/FR/DE/ES/IT/PT/NL/HI streaming, 70 ms model latency |
|
||||
| Kokoro | low-latency English, fixed voice library |
|
||||
| Chatterbox Turbo | low-latency English w/ cloning + 9 paralinguistic tags |
|
||||
| Fish Audio S2-Pro | richest paralinguistic English (15k+ tags) |
|
||||
| IndexTTS-2 | English voice cloning + emotion vector / text control |
|
||||
| Qwen3-TTS-1.7B | English voice cloning (slow on official backend) |
|
||||
| CosyVoice 3 | multilingual (Chinese-leaning) |
|
||||
| VibeVoice 1.5B | long-form / multi-speaker dialogue |
|
||||
|
||||
Voxtral fills the **multilingual + low-latency + cloning** slot
|
||||
that's been weak in the fleet (CosyVoice is multilingual but slow on
|
||||
English; nothing else is multilingual at all).
|
||||
|
||||
## Headline numbers
|
||||
|
||||
- **70 ms** model latency for a typical 10 s sample (500-char input)
|
||||
- **9.7×** realtime factor
|
||||
- **68.4%** blind A/B win rate vs ElevenLabs Flash v2.5 in voice
|
||||
cloning evaluations
|
||||
- **8 languages**: EN, FR, DE, ES, IT, PT, NL, HI
|
||||
|
||||
## API
|
||||
|
||||
vLLM-Omni serves an OpenAI-compatible API at
|
||||
`http://10.100.79.3:8197/v1`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Single-shot synthesis.
|
||||
curl -fsS -X POST http://10.100.79.3:8197/v1/audio/speech \
|
||||
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
|
||||
-d '{"model":"mistralai/Voxtral-4B-TTS-2603","input":"Hello there.","voice":"alloy","response_format":"wav"}' \
|
||||
> out.wav
|
||||
|
||||
# Streaming.
|
||||
curl -fsS -X POST http://10.100.79.3:8197/v1/audio/speech \
|
||||
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
|
||||
-d '{"model":"mistralai/Voxtral-4B-TTS-2603","input":"long passage…","voice":"alloy","stream":true}' \
|
||||
| mpv --no-cache -
|
||||
|
||||
# vLLM-Omni standard endpoints.
|
||||
curl http://10.100.79.3:8197/v1/models # confirms model loaded
|
||||
curl http://10.100.79.3:8197/v1/audio/voices # built-in + cloned voices
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Deploy
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
scripts/elway irv-ml1 --playbook playbooks/deploy-voxtral.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
First boot pulls Voxtral-4B (~8 GB BF16) into the HF cache + warms
|
||||
vLLM. Both are cached afterwards.
|
||||
|
||||
## Hardware footprint
|
||||
|
||||
- **VRAM**: ~16 GB practical (8 GB weights + KV + activation). Pinned
|
||||
to GPU 1 (RTX A6000) by default — comfortable headroom. The 3090's
|
||||
24 GB CAN fit but it's tight for long streaming sessions.
|
||||
- **Disk**: ~8 GB for the Voxtral checkpoint + HF cache.
|
||||
|
||||
## Voice library
|
||||
|
||||
Drop reference WAV / FLAC into `/worktank/voxtral/voices/` on the
|
||||
host. The wrapper scans on request — no restart needed.
