Cut-offs were the max_tokens=1200 ceiling (~14.6s of audio), not memory (~1250 tokens << 4096 context). Diagnosis: the repetition penalty is load-bearing for clean stops — rep 1.0 => the model never emits end-of-speech and rambles to the cap; rep 1.1 (the wrapper default) => clean natural stop. So normal lines already complete; only genuinely long dialogue (>~14.6s, ~25+ words) hit the cap. Raised default + client max_tokens to 2400 (~29s), still within the 4096 context (no memory cost). Verified: a 49-word line now finishes at 16.73s (was clipped at 14.6s).
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.)

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.

- Pin
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
