+"""Gradio demo for Qwen3-TTS using FastRTC for gapless streaming audio.
+
+Uses WebRTC via FastRTC to deliver audio chunks as a continuous real-time
+stream, avoiding the inter-chunk gaps present in Gradio's built-in streaming.
+
+Requires: pip install fastrtc
+
+Supports all 3 task types:
+  - CustomVoice: Predefined speaker with optional style instructions
+  - VoiceDesign: Natural language voice description
+  - Base: Voice cloning from reference audio (URL only in this demo)
+
+Usage:
+    # Start the server first (see run_server.sh), then:
+    python gradio_fastrtc_demo.py --api-base http://localhost:8000
+
+    # With public sharing:
