# Kyutai TTS — 1.6B / 2B-class streaming TTS from Kyutai (the Moshi / # Mimi team), trained on 2.5M hours. 220 ms latency in solo setup; up # to 32 simultaneous streams under 350 ms on an L40-class GPU. # # Served via the NillPointer/Kyutai-TTS-Server community wrapper — # Kyutai's official deployment is Rust + websockets only, which doesn't # fit our OpenAI-compat fleet. The community wrapper bridges Kyutai's # native streaming to the OpenAI /v1/audio/speech contract. # # Why this stack alongside the existing TTS: # * Kyutai's claim is the lowest streaming latency in this size # class (220 ms on a single GPU). Worth bench-comparing against # Chatterbox (~1.2 s) and Fish S2-Pro (~150 ms claimed). # * Trained on 2.5M hours — a different scaling regime from the # others (CosyVoice 5k hrs, Fish 10M hrs). # * Designed for full-duplex dialogue (Moshi heritage) — may surface # conversational quality the others lack. # # All tunables live in .env — edit that, not this file. services: kyutai-tts: image: local/kyutai-tts:${KYUTAI_TTS_TAG} build: context: https://github.com/NillPointer/Kyutai-TTS-Server.git#${KYUTAI_TTS_SHA} dockerfile: Dockerfile container_name: kyutai-tts restart: unless-stopped runtime: nvidia ports: - "${KYUTAI_TTS_BIND:-0.0.0.0}:${KYUTAI_TTS_PORT}:8000" environment: - NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${KYUTAI_TTS_GPU_DEVICES:-0} # Kyutai's en/fr bilingual model on HF.
