 > Q: Does vLLM-Omni support AWQ or any other quantization?
 
-A: We plan to introduce GGUF FP8 prequantized models and online FP8 quantization in version 0.16.0. Support for other quantization types will follow in future releases. For details, please see our [Q1 quantization roadmap](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/issues/1057).
+A: AWQ is available through the inherited vLLM quantization registry, and vLLM-Omni supports several additional methods. Actual support and validation vary by model, component, hardware, and checkpoint. See the [quantization overview](../user_guide/quantization/overview.md) for validated combinations and method-specific guides.
 
 > Q: Does vLLM-Omni support multimodal streaming input and output?
 
-A: Not yet. We already put it on the [Roadmap](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/issues/165). Please stay tuned!
+A: Yes, for specific models and serving paths. Current capabilities include [streaming video input](../serving/video_stream_api.md), [streaming diffusion output](../user_guide/diffusion/execution_modes.md#streaming-output), and experimental full-duplex real-time audio described in the [project overview](../README.md). Check the model and API documentation because input and output support is model-specific.

+## Diffusion Metrics (`vllm_omni:`)
+
+Per-request timing breakdowns for diffusion (image/video) stages. Emitted at request finalize when `stage_metrics.diffusion_metrics` is present. All carry `{model_name, stage, replica}`.

+| `vllm_omni:diffusion_preprocess_s` | Histogram | Diffusion input preprocessing time per request in seconds |
+| `vllm_omni:diffusion_postprocess_s` | Histogram | Diffusion output postprocessing (VAE decode) time per request in seconds |
+
+`diffusion_exec_s` uses `SECONDS_BUCKETS` (50 ms → 300 s); the other three use `SECONDS_FAST_BUCKETS` (1 ms → 60 s). `diffusion_exec_per_step_s` is skipped when `num_inference_steps` is not set.
+
+### Example PromQL
+
+```promql
+# P99 DiT exec time by stage
+histogram_quantile(0.99, rate(vllm_omni:diffusion_exec_s_bucket[5m]))
+
+# Ratio of preprocess to total exec wall time
+rate(vllm_omni:diffusion_preprocess_s_sum[5m])
+  / rate(vllm_omni:diffusion_exec_s_sum[5m])
+```
+
+## Cross-Stage Transfer Metrics (`vllm_omni:`)
 
 Per-physical-transfer histograms tracking the data hop between adjacent stages. Labels `{model_name, from_stage, from_replica, to_stage, to_replica}` let dashboards attribute latency to specific replica edges. `from_replica` / `to_replica` are resolved from the orchestrator's sticky-routing binding (`stage_pool.get_bound_replica_id(request_id)`), so no extra plumbing through `TransferEdgeStats` is needed.

-| `vllm:omni_transfer_tx_s` | Histogram | Sender-side time (serialize + submit to connector) |

+"""Offline speech-to-speech with NVIDIA-NemotronLabs-VoiceChat-11B.
+
+Feeds a 16 kHz user utterance (plus a spoken-style system prompt) through the
+3-stage nemotron_voicechat pipeline and writes the agent's reply as text and a
+22.05 kHz WAV.
+
+Usage:
+    python end2end.py \

+        --wav /path/to/user_question_16k.wav \
+        --output-dir results/nemotron_voicechat
+
+The system prompt defaults to the NeMo reference default. The text tokenizer
+resolves from the ``nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2`` HF id (or the
+``NEMOTRON_VOICECHAT_LLM_PATH`` env var for air-gapped runs).
+
+Sizing the input WAV: the timeline is frame-locked, so the reply budget IS the
+input duration — the acoustic channel trails the text channel, and a reply
+that has not finished when the frames run out is truncated SILENTLY (no error;
+ASR of the WAV will just disagree with the emitted text). Leave generous
+trailing silence after the question (a question ending at ~4.5 s truncated in
+an 8 s WAV but completed cleanly in a 16 s one). The script warns when the
+text channel is still emitting non-PAD tokens near the last frame.

 ### Word Timestamps
-Generate a WAV offline and a JSON sidecar with word-level timestamps from
-`Qwen/Qwen3-ForcedAligner-0.6B`:
-```bash
-python examples/offline_inference/text_to_speech/qwen3_tts/word_timestamps.py \
-    --model Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-CustomVoice \
-    --forced-aligner Qwen/Qwen3-ForcedAligner-0.6B \
-    --text "Hello world." \
-    --output-dir /tmp/qwen3_tts_timestamps
-```
-The script writes `qwen3_tts_word_timestamps.wav` and
-`qwen3_tts_word_timestamps.json`. On machines without a local CUDA toolkit,
-set `VLLM_USE_FLASHINFER_SAMPLER=0` to avoid FlashInfer sampler JIT.
+Word-level timestamps are currently a serving-path feature: launch
+`vllm-omni serve` with `--forced-aligner` and request `word_timestamps`
+(see `examples/online_serving/text_to_speech/README.md`). An offline
+example is not provided in this release.
 
 ### Batched decoding
 The Code2Wav stage supports batched decoding through the SpeechTokenizer. Pass multiple prompts via `--txt-prompts` and set `--batch-size` accordingly. To raise `max_num_seqs` on either stage, point `--stage-configs-path` at a stage configs YAML with the desired values (see `vllm_omni/model_executor/stage_configs/` for templates):

 ### LingBot-Video
 
-The dedicated LingBot example explicitly selects the video output modality:
+The shared runner recognizes the official dense and MoE checkpoint IDs, selects
+`LingBotVideoPipeline`, and builds the canonical video request envelope:
 
 ```bash
-python examples/offline_inference/text_to_video/text_to_video_lingbot.py \
+python text_to_video.py \
   --model robbyant/lingbot-video-dense-1.3b \
+  --prompt "a robotic arm picks up a red block" \
   --height 192 --width 320 --num-frames 9 --num-inference-steps 2 \
+  --guidance-scale 3.0 --flow-shift 3.0 --fps 24 \
   --output lingbot_t2v.mp4
 ```
 
 Use the same command with `robbyant/lingbot-video-moe-30b-a3b` for the MoE
 checkpoint. Requested frame counts are rounded upward to the causal
-VAE's `4n+1` grid.
+VAE's `4n+1` grid. For a local checkpoint path whose name does not contain
+`lingbot`, pass `--model-class-name LingBotVideoPipeline`.
+
+LingBot-only options such as `batch_cfg` and `output_type` use the shared
+model-extra channel, for example:
+
+```bash
+python text_to_video.py \
+  --model robbyant/lingbot-video-dense-1.3b \
+  --extra-body '{"batch_cfg": true, "output_type": "np"}'

+# NemotronLabs VoiceChat 11B
+
+> Offline speech-to-speech: a 16 kHz user utterance in, the agent's spoken reply
+> (text + 22.05 kHz WAV) out, on a 3-stage vLLM-Omni pipeline.
+
+## Summary
+
+- Vendor: NVIDIA
+- Model: [`nvidia/NVIDIA-NemotronLabs-VoiceChat-11B`](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/NVIDIA-NemotronLabs-VoiceChat-11B)
+- Task: Speech-to-speech voice chat. The model runs a frame-locked 12.5 Hz
+  timeline: a Conformer + NemotronH hybrid-Mamba thinker emits one text token
+  per acoustic frame, a Gemma3-1B EAR-TTS talker turns the text timeline into
+  31-quantizer RVQ code stacks, and an RVQ-VAE codec decodes them to audio.
+- Mode: Offline single-turn inference (batch=1). Online/duplex serving,
+  function calling, and batch>1 are documented follow-ups.
+- Maintainer: [`@yuekaizhang`](https://github.com/yuekaizhang)
+
+## When to use this recipe
+
+Use this recipe to run a single-turn voice-chat exchange with
+`NVIDIA-NemotronLabs-VoiceChat-11B` on one GPU: you provide a user utterance as
+a WAV file (any sample rate; it is resampled to 16 kHz mono) plus an optional
+spoken-style system prompt, and get back the agent's reply as text and a
+22.05 kHz WAV. The integration is NeMo-free at runtime — the perception
+Conformer, EAR-TTS talker, and RVQ-VAE codec are vendored, dependency-stripped
+NeMo modules (`nemo_vendored/`), so no `nemo_toolkit` install is needed.

+## Pipeline
+
+| stage | arch | dtype | role |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 0 thinker | `NemotronVoiceChatThinkerForConditionalGeneration` (LLM_AR) | fp32 | WAV + system prompt -> frame-locked text-token timeline (+ function channel) |
+| 1 talker | `NemotronVoiceChatTalker` (LLM_AR) | fp32 | text timeline -> 31-quantizer RVQ code stacks (one per 80 ms frame) |
+| 2 code2wav | `NemotronVoiceChatCode2Wav` (LLM_GENERATION) | fp32 | RVQ-VAE decode -> 22.05 kHz PCM |
+
+Stages 0/1 default to fp32 for exact parity with the NeMo reference
+implementation (greedy decoding matches it token for token on the acceptance
+fixture). The deploy yaml documents a ~2x-faster bf16 thinker option whose
+output stayed within one word of the reference in testing.

+#### Environment
+
+- OS: Linux
+- Python: 3.12
+- vLLM version: 0.26.0
+- vLLM-Omni version or commit: this PR / current `main`
+
+#### Command
+
+```bash
+# Tokenizer: the checkpoint ships no HF tokenizer; it resolves from the
+# nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2 HF id automatically. For air-gapped runs,
+# point NEMOTRON_VOICECHAT_LLM_PATH at a local snapshot of that repo instead.
+python examples/offline_inference/nemotron_voicechat/end2end.py \
+    --checkpoint /path/to/NVIDIA-NemotronLabs-VoiceChat-11B \
+    --wav /path/to/user_question.wav \
+    --output-dir results/nemotron_voicechat
+```
+
+#### Verification
+
+```bash
+ls results/nemotron_voicechat
+# <stem>_output.txt          the agent reply as text
+# <stem>_output.wav          the agent reply as 22.05 kHz audio
+# <stem>_text_tokens.json    the frame-locked text-token timeline
+```
+
+The reply text should read as a coherent spoken-style answer to the question in
+the input WAV, and the WAV should transcribe to (approximately) the same text
+with any ASR model.
+
+#### Notes
+
+- Memory usage: the shipped yaml runs all three stages on one GPU
+  (`gpu_memory_utilization` 0.62 / 0.12 / 0.06); peak usage is dominated by the
+  fp32 thinker. The fp32 default has a hard floor of roughly 43 GB of thinker
+  weights alone (9B backbone + 587M `embed_tokens` + 587M `function_head` +
+  0.6B Conformer), so 48 GB cards cannot run it — use the bf16 thinker option
+  documented in the deploy yaml on anything smaller than an 80 GB part.
+- Input sizing: the timeline is frame-locked, so the reply budget IS the input
+  duration. The acoustic channel trails the text channel; if the WAV does not
+  carry enough trailing silence for the reply to finish, the spoken answer is
+  truncated silently. Leave generous trailing silence (a question ending at
+  ~4.5 s truncated in an 8 s WAV but completed cleanly in 16 s); the offline
+  example warns when the text channel is still speaking near the last frame.
+- Key flags: sampling is greedy end to end. The thinker is frame-locked —
+  `max_tokens` equals the acoustic frame count with `ignore_eos=True`. Do NOT
+  set `min_tokens` on the thinker: the tokenizer's EOS token is also the
+  frame-locked PAD/silence token, so masking it forces the model to babble
+  instead of pausing.
+- The talker's `max_tokens` is 16383 (its stage prompt is one placeholder
+  token, and the stage context is 16384).
+- Known limitations: batch=1 only; offline single turn (no online/duplex
+  serving yet); the function-call channel is decoded but not yet acted on.
