# Qwen3-TTS-0.6B for SpaceMIT K1/K3

This repository contains a SpaceMIT-optimized split-runtime export of
`Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-0.6B-Base`. The text embedding and codec stages run with
ONNX Runtime and the SpaceMIT Execution Provider, while the talker and code
predictor run through the SpaceMIT llama.cpp/ggml backend.

The bundle generates 24 kHz mono PCM16 WAV audio and includes one default
speaker embedding for evaluation.

## Validation Status

- K3: validated with Chinese, English, and mixed Chinese-English requests.
- K1: the current configuration is identical to K3, but has not yet completed
  independent board acceptance.
- Functional runtime: SpaceMIT llama.cpp `v0.1.7` (`c9af964b5`).
- Recommended performance runtime: a release containing commit `787e5fcf9`
  ([spacemit-com/llama.cpp#29](https://github.com/spacemit-com/llama.cpp/pull/29)).

SpaceMIT llama.cpp `v0.1.7` is functionally compatible but does not contain the
persistent shared-threadpool optimization. In a controlled K3 A/B test, that
optimization reduced median warm RTF from approximately `1.1113` to `0.9006`
without changing the generated WAV bytes. Performance depends on text,
speaker, board configuration, system load, and runtime revision.

## Files

| File | Purpose | Precision/format |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Qwen3-TTS-0.6B-talker-q8_0.gguf` | Autoregressive talker | GGUF Q8_0 |
| `Qwen3-TTS-0.6B-code-predictor-q4_0.gguf` | Multi-codebook predictor | GGUF Q4_0 |
| `Qwen3-TTS-0.6B-text-embed-proj.fp32.onnx` | Text embedding and projection | ONNX FP32 |
| `Qwen3-TTS-0.6B-codec-decoder-t50.dynq.onnx` | Codec decoder, bucket 50 | Dynamically quantized ONNX |
| `Qwen3-TTS-0.6B-tokenizer.gguf` | Tokenizer metadata | GGUF |
| `Qwen3-TTS-0.6B-aux.gguf` | Runtime auxiliary tensors | GGUF |
| `default.spk.bin` | Default speaker embedding | Raw float32 `[1024]` |
| `configs/K1/config.json` | K1 runtime configuration | JSON |
| `configs/K3/config.json` | K3 runtime configuration | JSON |

The FP32 text embedding model is intentionally named with its precision. It is
the largest file in the bundle and has a significant effect on resident memory
and cold-start cost.

## Runtime Requirements

- A SpaceMIT K1/K3 Linux image with ONNX Runtime and SpaceMIT EP installed.
- [SpaceMIT llama.cpp](https://github.com/spacemit-com/llama.cpp) `v0.1.7` or
  newer.
- A future release containing commit `787e5fcf9` is recommended for the
  validated shared-threadpool performance path.

The llama.cpp release archive contains llama/ggml/mtmd binaries and libraries.
It does not bundle ONNX Runtime or SpaceMIT EP.

## Run on K3

Download and extract the runtime:

```bash
wget https://github.com/spacemit-com/llama.cpp/releases/download/v0.1.7/spacemit-llama.cpp.riscv64.0.1.7.tar.gz
tar -xzf spacemit-llama.cpp.riscv64.0.1.7.tar.gz
```

Start the OpenAI-compatible speech service:

```bash
export LLAMA_ROOT=$PWD/spacemit-llama.cpp.riscv64.0.1.7
export MODEL_ROOT=$PWD/Qwen3-TTS-0.6B
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LLAMA_ROOT/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:-}

$LLAMA_ROOT/bin/llama-server \
  --media-backend smt \
  --smt-config-dir $MODEL_ROOT/configs/K3 \
  --host 127.0.0.1 \
  --port 8090 \
  --no-ui
```

Generate speech:

```bash
curl http://127.0.0.1:8090/v1/audio/speech \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "model": "qwen3-tts",
    "input": "你好，这是 Qwen3-TTS 在 K3 上的语音合成测试。",
    "voice": "default",
    "response_format": "wav"
  }' \
  -o qwen3_tts.wav
```

To use the K1 configuration, replace `configs/K3` with `configs/K1` after
validating the target board image and runtime packages.

## Speaker Selection

The default speaker is loaded from `default.spk.bin`. A compatible raw
float32 `[1024]` speaker embedding can be selected at server startup:

```bash
$LLAMA_ROOT/bin/llama-server \
  --media-backend smt \
  --smt-config-dir $MODEL_ROOT/configs/K3 \
  --tts-speaker-file /path/to/custom.spk.bin \
  --host 127.0.0.1 \
  --port 8090 \
  --no-ui
```

The bundled default embedding was derived from a generic female reference
approved by the project owner for redistribution. Obtain consent before
creating or distributing embeddings derived from another person's voice.

## Limitations

- The validated output format is 24 kHz mono PCM16 WAV.
- Runtime performance is not determined by model files alone; use the
  recommended llama.cpp revision for the optimized path.
- The current text embedding model is FP32 rather than quantized.
- K1 uses the same initial configuration as K3 but still requires independent
  acceptance testing.

## Revisions
