- max_tokens default 2400->3500 (~42s) in wrapper + gateway-chat client, with a _cap() clamp so prompt+gen never exceeds MAX_CTX (4096) — a cloning ref block is ~1100 tokens, so an unclamped 3500 would overflow context on the clone path. - Staged clone voices: /voices dir of <name>.wav + <name>.txt, each encoded to its Orpheus reference block at startup; voice="<name>" zero-shot clones it. Beatrice (a chatterbox reference) staged as the first normal-voice clone. GET /voices lists baddy + clones. - compose: mount voices dir + pass MORPHEUS_MAX_LEN to the wrapper (clamp must match engine). vLLM concurrency (measured, --max-num-seqs 8, 250-tok reqs): near-linear batching — 8 concurrent finish in the same ~2.8s as 1 (707 tok/s, 8.1x single, flat per-req latency). Chunked-sentence production can fan out for ~8x throughput; CPU SNAC decode is the scale bottleneck, not generation.

mOrpheus — uncensored Orpheus TTS (irv-ml1)
Permanent serving stack for MrDragonFox/mOrpheus_3B-1Base_early_preview-v1-25000 — an
uncensored Orpheus TTS finetune (Llama-3.2-3B LLM → SNAC 24 kHz audio). Trained speaker
"baddy"; supports zero-shot voice cloning from a reference clip.

Shape
Two containers (see compose.yaml):
| service | where | role |
|---|---|---|
vllm-morpheus |
GPU (3090), FP8 | serves the mOrpheus LLM; emits Orpheus audio tokens |
morpheus-tts |
CPU | SNAC-decodes tokens → 24 kHz WAV; the public /tts endpoint |
Real-time: ~165 tok/s single-stream on the 3090 (FP8) ⇒ RTF ≈ 0.50 (2× real-time), measured. A ~4 s clip generates in ~2 s. (Whole-clip decode in v1; chunked streaming for lower time-to-first-audio is a future enhancement.)
Endpoints (http://10.100.79.3:8299)
POST /tts→audio/wav. Body:{"text": "...", "voice": "baddy", "temperature": 0.6, "max_tokens": 1200, "repetition_penalty": 1.1}.- Zero-shot clone (ad-hoc): add
"reference_audio_b64": "<base64 WAV>"+"reference_text": "<its transcript>". Keeprepetition_penalty <= 1.1for cloning (higher penalizes the in-context reference audio tokens and breaks generation). - Staged clone voices: drop
<name>.wav+<name>.txt(its transcript) into the voices dir (/home/lkraven/morpheus/voices/); each is encoded to its reference block once at startup, sovoice: "<name>"zero-shot clones it (e.g.beatrice).GET /voiceslists them. max_tokensdefaults to 3500 (~42 s), auto-clamped so prompt + gen never exceeds the 4096 context (a cloning reference block is ~1,100 tokens).repetition_penalty1.1 is load-bearing — at 1.0 the model never emits end-of-speech and rambles to the cap.
- Zero-shot clone (ad-hoc): add
GET /voices,GET /health,GET /docs(OpenAPI UI).
Expressive tags (baddy is trained for these): <sigh> <gasp> <laugh> <chuckle> <pant> <groan> <moan> etc. Use real carrier sentences with sparse, sentence-boundary tags —
stacking many tags with little text sends this early checkpoint into a repeat-loop.

vllm/vllm-openai:v0.23.0—latestships Blackwell-only kernels (oink/aiter) that crash on Ampere import. Do not bump tolateston this box. - GPU = 3090, not the A6000 — the A6000 is comfy's and spikes to ~41 GB without warning (OOM'd two launches). FP8's ~5 GB footprint coexists with the 3090 audio zoo.
- FP8 on Ampere is a VRAM save (upcast), no compute speedup — real-time comes from vLLM.
- Canonical copy lives here; deployed copy is
