VibeVoice 1.5B (GGUF, Q4_K_M)

Production-ready GGUF quantization of fixie-ai/ultravox-v0_5-llama-3_2-1b for distributed speech synthesis — powered by the Aether edge inference runtime.

Highlights

• 1.5B parameters — High-quality voice model. Richer speech synthesis with improved naturalness and expressiveness.
• ~0.9 GB Q4_K_M quantized — optimized for distributed edge inference
• LLaMA architecture — proven, stable, well-tested
• Aether runtime compatible — layer-sharded across distributed nodes via Edgework.ai

With Aether (Distributed Inference)

This model is deployed across the Aether distributed inference network. Weights are layer-sharded and distributed across multiple edge nodes for parallel inference.

Deployment Architecture

This model runs on the Aether distributed inference runtime — our custom engine that shards model layers across multiple nodes for parallel execution:

1. Coordinator receives requests and manages token generation
2. Layer nodes each hold a subset of model layers
3. Hidden states flow between nodes via gRPC
4. Zero cold start via warm pool scheduling

Deployed via Edgework.ai — bringing fast, cheap, and private inference as close to the user as possible.
