# Orpheus 3B ASMR (Merged)

Orpheus 3B model fine-tuned on ASMR data and merged for improved soft-spoken speech generation.

## Model Details

- **Base**: unsloth/orpheus-3b-0.1-ft
- **Training Data**: nyuuzyou/asmr (283K clips, 307 hours)
- **Training**: 170,000 steps (~40 hours on RTX 4090)
- **Type**: Merged model (LoRA + base weights)

## Capabilities

- Enhanced soft-spoken speech on pre-trained voices (e.g., "tara")
- Improved gentle vocal characteristics
- Standard Orpheus features: voice cloning, emotion control, streaming

## Limitations

- **Cannot generate true whispering** - training method insufficient for complex whisper synthesis
- **Limited ASMR authenticity** - does not produce human-like ASMR content
- Best results with existing voice profiles rather than novel ASMR voices

## Ethics

Do not use for impersonation without consent or deceptive purposes.
