Captures the production Zonos TTS path that the repo was blind to: stock ZONOS2
:1920 engine (stacks/zonos-engine) fronted by zonos-gateway:0.2.0 :8890, reached
via the LiteLLM ext-tts alias. Documents the emotion-preset system (neutral/warm/
excited/sad/intense/whisper, the simple preset: caller path), the API, and the
measured real-time cost (calibrated steering free at RTF~0.52, cfg1.5 ~0.625 —
still realtime). Flags the gateway source (~/zonos-gateway on irv-ml1) as not yet
in gitea. Marks stacks/zonos (v0.1 Gradio) dead/superseded. Records the emotion-
lever finding (text-priming flat -> native steering works) in persistent memory.
Replace the single dia entry (legacy Dia 1.6B, retired) with two fixed-model
Dia2 entries (dia2-2b :8200, dia2-1b :8202), status ready (both exercised),
image local/dia:v2. Matching reproducibility_audit rows. catalog_version
unchanged (add/remove services = no vocab change).
Also fix a port collision I introduced earlier: the zonos-api adapter and
csm both claimed 8201 — move zonos-api to 8203 (catalog endpoint + voices
source_url, zonos .env.example, README).
NOTE FOR CONSUMERS: removing the dia id is a breaking catalog change for
asset_engine (it vendored dia in v0.1.4) — re-vendor + drop the dia tile,
add the two dia2 tiles.
Upstream Zonos ships only Gradio + Python SDK — no REST surface — so
asset-engine (which routes a clean JSON POST to /v1/audio/speech) can't
target it directly. Add a thin FastAPI adapter (stacks/zonos/adapter/):
POST /v1/audio/speech in front of the Zonos SDK, built FROM local/zonos
to reuse torch/CUDA/SDK. Returns a JSON envelope {audio, audio_format,
seed} — the seed rides back so asset-engine regenerate/fork can pin it
(Zonos is the fleet's first genuinely seedable TTS). compose gains a
zonos-api service on 8201; .env.example gains the port + voices dir.
Upstream Zyphra/Zonos ships no CMD in its Dockerfile (it launches the
app from its own compose), so our container ran the NVIDIA entrypoint,
printed the CUDA banner, exited 0, and restart-looped — nothing ever
bound 7860/8199. Add command: python3 gradio_interface.py to match
upstream, plus an explicit GRADIO_SHARE=False. Built + deployed to
irv-ml1; 8199 now serves HTTP 200 and the transformer model loads.
dia: Nari Labs dialogue TTS (Dia 1.6B / Dia2-1B / Dia2-2B) via
devnen/Dia-TTS-Server — OpenAI-compat, fills the multi-speaker
dialogue-scene slot for skaldsong. Port 8200 on irv-ml1.
zonos: Zyphra Zonos-v0.1 (Apache-2.0, 44kHz, emotion sliders) via the
official Gradio interface. Audition surface only — no OpenAI-compat
endpoint yet (needs the FastAPI fork to become skaldsong-pluggable).
Port 8199 on irv-ml1.
Both follow the chatterbox/fish-s2 convention: local image built from a
pinned wrapper SHA via buildx git-context, .env-driven port/GPU, python
healthcheck, homepage labels.
