# Qwen3-TTS 0.6B Base with a pinned AR-engine memory budget. # # The upstream pipeline (Qwen3TTSPipelineConfig) colocates its three stages # (preprocessing -> tts_engine -> vocoder) in one process on GPU 0 and leaves # the engine's sglang mem_fraction_static unset: the static pool (weights + # KV cache) is auto-sized to nearly all free VRAM at boot. On a 24 GB card # that leaves only tens of MiB free once the engine's CUDA graphs (~1.5 GB) # and the colocated vocoder are resident — the first /v1/audio/speech request # aborts with "CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate ~100 MiB" and every # retry fails identically (the weights themselves are tiny: 0.6B bf16). # # 0.70 pins the static pool at ~70% of the card (~16.5 GB on a 24 GB GPU — # a KV pool far larger than any narration request needs) and leaves ~7 GB # for the vocoder, CUDA graphs, transient allocations, and other GPU # processes. Precedent: dots_tts.yaml pins this same knob; zonos2_bf16.yaml # and higgs_audio_v3_tts.yaml fix the same 24 GB OOM class their way. config_cls: Qwen3TTSPipelineConfig model_path: Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-0.6B-Base stages: tts_engine: engine: mem_fraction_static: 0.70
