 *Latest News* 🔥
+- [2026/08] [VeRL-Omni](https://github.com/verl-project/verl-omni) `v0.2.0` is released: faster diffusion RL powered by vLLM-Omni (request-level/step-wise batching with FA3), rebuilt Qwen3-Omni multimodal training (DPO & GSPO), plus LTX-2.3, Qwen-Image-Edit support and more. See the [release notes](https://github.com/verl-project/verl-omni/releases/tag/v0.2.0).
 - [2026/08] We released [0.26.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.26.0) - aligned with the vLLM 0.26 release line, featuring [MiniMax H3](recipes/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-H3.md) joint video/audio generation, an experimental full-duplex realtime runtime for [MiniCPM-o 4.5](recipes/OpenBMB/MiniCPM-o-4_5.md), distributed layerwise diffusion offload, and broader model, hardware, streaming, TTS, and quantization support.
 - [2026/07] We released [0.24.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.24.0) - aligned with the vLLM 0.24 release line, expanding production-ready coverage across TTS, speech, diffusion, image/video generation, and robot-policy serving, with major Omni stage runtime refactoring, diffusion request-level batching, async output materialization, quantization/cache/memory improvements, and broad CUDA/ROCm/XPU/NPU support.
 - [2026/06] Starting with [0.14.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.14.0), vLLM-Omni publishes a stable release aligned with every even-numbered upstream vLLM minor version. [0.16.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.16.0), [0.18.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.18.0), [0.20.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.20.0), and [0.22.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.22.0) continued this cadence, expanding omni and world-model support with [NVIDIA Cosmos3](recipes/cosmos3/Cosmos3-Nano.md) and DreamZero, adding models such as MiniCPM-o 4.5, MOSS-TTS, and Lance, and advancing TTS, diffusion, distributed execution, quantization, RL integration through [VeRL-Omni](https://github.com/verl-project/verl-omni), and CUDA/ROCm/MUSA/NPU/XPU coverage.

-The mmap loader is used only by the supported DLO+AllGather path when the

+The mmap loader is used when the model explicitly declares a compatible

+A new pipeline should opt in only after its ordinary loader contract can be
+represented without materializing a private full-model copy:
+
+1. Populate `weights_sources` with safetensors component sources and prefixes
+   that place every DiT checkpoint key in the pipeline parameter namespace.
+2. If prefixed checkpoint keys already equal runtime parameter names, declare
+   `_supports_mmap_loading = True`. If names differ, provide
+   `_remap_ckpt_key` to map checkpoint names to runtime names (or return
+   `None` for intentionally ignored keys).
+3. If a parameter needs a TP1 layout conversion, attach a callable
+   `mmap_weight_transform` to that parameter during model construction. The
+   transform must preserve dtype and element count because it runs while one
+   bounded block is packed.
+4. Verify that mmap and the regular loader produce the same runtime tensors,
+   that every expected DiT tensor maps successfully, and that TP, HSDP, and
+   online-quantized configurations retain their standard-loader behavior.

-A: At first, you can check current [issues](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/issues) to find possible solutions. If none of these satisfy your demand and it is urgent, please find these [volunteers](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/community/volunteers/) for help.
+A: Search the current [issues](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/issues) first. If no existing issue matches a bug or CI failure, open a [bug report](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/issues/new?template=400-bug-report.yml) with a minimal reproducer, environment details, and relevant logs. For technical or usage questions, use the `sig-omni` channel in [vLLM Slack](https://slack.vllm.ai/) or the [vLLM Forum](https://discuss.vllm.ai/).
 
 > Q: Does vLLM-Omni support AWQ or any other quantization?
 
-A: AWQ is not currently listed as a validated vLLM-Omni path. Quantization
-support depends on the model, pipeline stage, checkpoint format, and hardware
-backend. See the current [quantization support matrix](../user_guide/quantization/overview.md)
-for online methods, pre-quantized checkpoints, and model-level validation.
+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.

+### Multi-Stage Omni/TTS Model (Qwen3-Omni, Qwen3-TTS)
 
-Legend: `✅` backend available, `❌` rejected or no implementation, `⭕` not
-verified in this guide. This matrix does not establish model-level support; use
-the model-and-stage tables below for that.
+These models combine an AR language model with audio, vision, talker, or TTS
+stages. Quantization is scoped to the AR language-model stage when the
+checkpoint contains a supported `quantization_config`; the non-AR stages stay
+in BF16 unless the model guide explicitly adds support.
 
-The Int8 column covers online and serialized Int8 paths. OCP MXFP8 is online on
-Intel XPU and online/offline on Ascend; Intel's separate AutoRound MXFP8
-checkpoint path is described in the [MXFP8 guide](mxfp8.md). OCP MXFP4 on AMD
-means online single-scale `mxfp4` on gfx950, while MXFP4 DualScale is
-Ascend-only. NVIDIA's NVFP4 and OCP MXFP4 have different checkpoint metadata,
-scale layouts, and kernel contracts. Mixed ModelOpt FP8/NVFP4 checkpoints also
-require a model-specific mixed-precision policy and validation. FP8 on Ampere
-may use a weight-only path where available.

-## Current Model and Stage Support
+### Multi-Stage Diffusion Model (BAGEL, GLM-Image)
 
-The current offline checkpoint guidance is transformer-first. A listed
-checkpoint quantizes the stage named in the **Scope** column; it does not imply
-that the model's encoders, VAE, decoder, or other stages are also quantized.
+These models split generation across multiple stages. Quantization must be
+attached to the intended stage rather than applied globally.
 
-### Vendor and Runtime Ecosystems
-
-The producer and runtime backend are related, but they are not the same support
-claim. A producer can emit several checkpoint formats, and each format still
-needs a compatible vLLM-Omni loader, model-stage wiring, and validation. A
-runtime may also provide online quantization without an offline producer path.

+Single-stage native AR TTS at 48 kHz (rednote-hilab). Pipeline: `Qwen2.5-1.5B base LM → DiT (10-step Euler flow matching) → patch_encoder AR loopback → AudioVAE (streaming decode)`. Same "vLLM-native base LM + side-path computation" pattern as VoxCPM2, with a plain Qwen2 backbone instead of MiniCPM4 and no FSQ / residual LM stage.
+
+### Quick start
+```bash
+python examples/offline_inference/text_to_speech/dots_tts/end2end.py \
+    --model rednote-hilab/dots.tts-soar \
+    --text "Hello, this is a test of dots TTS running on vLLM Omni."
+```
+
+### Voice cloning
+Not wired in this release — generation is zero-shot only. The CAM++ x-vector speaker encoder weights load, but `end2end.py` has no `--ref-audio`/`--ref-text` flags yet.
+
+### Streaming
+The AudioVAE decoder has an internal streaming path (`init_stream_state` / `stream_step` / `stream_flush`) used to avoid boundary artifacts between 160 ms patches, but it is not yet exposed through an online serving endpoint or example.
+
+### Notes
+- Output: 48 kHz mono WAV.
+- Deploy config: `vllm_omni/deploy/dots_tts.yaml` (auto-loaded by HF `model_type`).
+- Checkpoints: `rednote-hilab/dots.tts-soar` is the validated default. `dots.tts-base` shares the same architecture but is unvalidated in this repo. `dots.tts-mf` (MeanFlow, 2-4 step) is not supported yet.
+- Known limitation: no CUDA graph capture and no batched side-path computation yet, so concurrent requests do not currently scale (each request's DiT Euler steps run serially). See `recipes/rednote-hilab/dots.tts.md` for details and the roadmap.
+
+---
+
 ## IndexTTS-2 and IndexTTS-2.5
 
 Both versions use a 2-stage TTS pipeline and produce 22.05 kHz mono audio. Stage 0 is a GPT AR talker. IndexTTS-2 Stage 1 uses RepCodec semantic embeddings, GPT latent, S2Mel CFM/DiT, and BigVGAN. IndexTTS-2.5 replaces RepCodec with EnhancedCodec and uses the official code-only path (`use_gpt_latent=false`). Every request requires reference audio for zero-shot voice cloning.

+# dots.tts
+
+> Offline continuous-AR TTS at 48 kHz (rednote-hilab)
+
+## Summary
+
+- Vendor: rednote-hilab
+- Model: `rednote-hilab/dots.tts-soar`
+- Task: Text-to-speech, zero-shot synthesis only
+- Mode: Offline end-to-end example only (not yet wired for online serving —
+  see [Known limitations](#known-limitations))
+- Maintainer: Community
+
+## When to use this recipe
+
+Use this recipe as a known-good starting point for running
+`rednote-hilab/dots.tts-soar` offline on vLLM-Omni on consumer-class GPUs.
+dots.tts is a ~1.7B-parameter continuous-AR TTS model (Qwen2.5-1.5B base LM
++ 344M DiT flow-matching head + 180M AudioVAE) that emits 48 kHz mono audio.
+It follows the same "vLLM-native base LM + side-path computation" pattern as
+VoxCPM2 — single-stage pipeline
+`Qwen2.5-1.5B base LM → DiT (10-step Euler flow matching) → patch_encoder AR
+loopback → AudioVAE (streaming decode)` — with a plain Qwen2 backbone
+instead of MiniCPM4, and no FSQ / residual-LM stage.
+
+This is an early integration (see [Known limitations](#known-limitations)
+below before depending on it for anything beyond offline experimentation).

+
+## Hardware Support
+
+This recipe documents one tested 16 GB consumer-GPU configuration. Other
+vendor sections (ROCm, NPU) and larger-VRAM configurations are welcome as
+community validation lands.
+
+## GPU
+
+### 1 x RTX 5080 16GB (Single GPU, Minimum Recommended)
+
+dots.tts (~1.7B params across the base LM + DiT + AudioVAE + CAM++
+speaker encoder, bfloat16) fits comfortably on a single 16 GB GPU. The
+bundled default config at
+[`vllm_omni/deploy/dots_tts.yaml`](../../vllm_omni/deploy/dots_tts.yaml)
+(`gpu_memory_utilization: 0.8`, `max_num_seqs: 4`, `enforce_eager: true`,
+`enable_prefix_caching: false`) loads cleanly with ~5.1 GiB for model
+weights and ~0.3 GiB peak activation; the remainder of the configured
+budget is available for KV cache. Total resident footprint at idle is
+roughly **7-8 GiB / 16 GB** — the only tight spot in the full CUDA-Graph
+roadmap would be step 8's graph capture (not implemented yet; this
+release runs `enforce_eager: true`, so it doesn't apply today).
+
+#### Environment
+
+- OS: Linux (WSL2)
+- Python: 3.12
+- Driver / runtime: NVIDIA driver 595.95
+- torch: 2.11.0+cu130
+- vLLM: 0.26.0
+- vLLM-Omni: 0.22.1.dev (current `main`)
+
+#### Command
+
+```bash
+python examples/offline_inference/text_to_speech/dots_tts/end2end.py \
+    --model rednote-hilab/dots.tts-soar \
+    --text "Hello, this is a test of dots TTS running on vLLM Omni."
+```
+
+The deploy config at
+[`vllm_omni/deploy/dots_tts.yaml`](../../vllm_omni/deploy/dots_tts.yaml)
+is loaded automatically by the model registry (HF `model_type=dots_tts`).
+Pass `--deploy-config <path>` to override.
+
+#### Verification
+
+**T1 — offline zero-shot synthesis**:
+
+```bash
+python examples/offline_inference/text_to_speech/dots_tts/end2end.py \
+    --model rednote-hilab/dots.tts-soar \
+    --text "Hello, this is a test of dots TTS running on vLLM Omni."
+```
+
+Observed: `output_audio/output.wav`, 3.52 s @ 48 kHz mono. Single
+one-shot process (init → one `generate()` → exit), so the reported
+numbers include engine init and first-request warmup, not just steady-state
+per-step throughput — same caveat as VoxCPM2's recipe. `Inference: 5.52s`,
+`RTF: 1.569`.
+
+Weight-loading breakdown from the same run (all tensors matched, no
+missing/extra keys): 951/951 AudioVAE, 244/244 DiT, 270/270
+patch_encoder, 198 Qwen2, 938/938 CAM++ speaker encoder.
+
+Whisper transcription of the output matched the input text with no
+dropped leading word (confirms the streaming-vocoder patch-boundary fix
+described in [Known limitations](#known-limitations)).
+
+#### Notes
+
+- Output: 48 kHz mono WAV.
+- Checkpoints: `rednote-hilab/dots.tts-soar` is the validated default
+  used throughout this recipe. `rednote-hilab/dots.tts-base` shares the
+  same architecture but is unvalidated in this repo. `rednote-hilab/dots.tts-mf`
+  (MeanFlow, 2-4 step) is not supported — see below.
+- `enforce_eager: true` and `enable_prefix_caching: false` in the deploy
+  config are load-bearing, not just conservative defaults: with prefix
+  caching enabled, vLLM-Omni's prefix-cache multimodal-output merge path
+  does not preserve the `sparse_audio` marker this model relies on to
+  route audio output correctly, and generation silently truncates to a
+  single ~160 ms patch. Do not override `enable_prefix_caching` for this
+  model until that framework-level gap is fixed.
+
+## Known limitations
+
+- **No online serving yet.** dots.tts is not registered in
+  `vllm_omni/entrypoints/openai/tts_adapters/` (the framework other TTS
+  models in this repo use for `/v1/audio/speech`), so `vllm serve
+  rednote-hilab/dots.tts-soar --omni` will start but the OpenAI-compatible
+  speech endpoint does not know how to build request params for it yet.
+  Offline `Omni()` (as used in `end2end.py`) is the only supported path
+  today.
+- **Voice cloning is not wired.** The CAM++ x-vector speaker encoder
+  weights load and are exercised by `load_weights()`, but nothing in the
+  prompt builder consumes a reference audio yet — generation is zero-shot
+  only. `end2end.py` has no `--ref-audio`/`--ref-text` flags.
+- **`dots.tts-mf` (MeanFlow, 2-4 step) checkpoint is not supported.** Only
+  the fixed 10-step Euler DiT sampler used by `dots.tts-soar` /
+  `dots.tts-base` is implemented.
+- **No CUDA graph capture.** The talker runs fully eager. voxcpm2's three
+  captured graphs (base LM decode, CFM solver, VAE decode) have no
+  dots.tts equivalent yet.
+- **Concurrent requests do not scale.** Each request's 10-step DiT Euler
+  integration runs serially in the side path (no cross-request batching,
+  unlike voxcpm2's `enable_batched_cfm`). A community review of this
+  integration measured no throughput gain at `c=4` concurrent requests
+  versus `c=1`.
+- **`SamplingParams.seed` does not control audio-generation randomness.**
+  The DiT's flow-matching noise is deterministically derived per-request
+  from a fixed internal seed (reproducible run-to-run, matching
+  voxcpm2's `deterministic_cfm_seed` convention) rather than from the
+  caller-supplied `seed` field — the same limitation voxcpm2 has today.

+## Why Stage 0 Pins Native FlashInfer
+
+The three Stage 0 profiles set `attention_backend: FLASHINFER` and also set:
+
+```yaml
+attention_config:
+  use_trtllm_attention: false
+```
+
+`FLASHINFER` names the overall vLLM attention backend. Starting with vLLM
+0.25, that backend can internally route Hopper decode to the TRT-LLM XQA
+kernel. The XQA eligibility check answers whether the kernel can run, not
+whether it is the fastest kernel for the current workload. In particular, the
+decode builder can select XQA statically when all of the following hold:
+
+- the explicit `use_trtllm_attention` override is not `false`;
+- the device is Hopper/SM90 and the XQA cubin is available; and
+- the query-head count is divisible by the KV-head count.
+
+Higgs has 32 query heads and 8 KV heads, so it passes the head-layout check.
+The static gate does not include a model dtype, KV-cache dtype, context-length,
+batch-shape, or measured-performance comparison. This matters because kernel
+support is not a performance guarantee.
+
+Higgs also has an unusual output shape that must not be confused with its
+attention shape. One autoregressive audio step advances one token per request.
+The resulting hidden row is then projected into eight codebook distributions
+with shape `[1, 8, codebook_size]`. The eight codebooks therefore do not turn
+the attention query into `q_len=8`; at concurrency one, XQA still receives a
+single BF16 query row. At this small per-step shape, any XQA advantage for
+other KV dtypes, batch sizes, or context lengths does not necessarily apply.
+The difference is paid in every transformer layer and every generated audio
+step, so even a small per-call disadvantage accumulates in TTFP and RTF.
+
+The upstream XQA integration also showed that the result is dtype-sensitive:
+its FP8 benchmark favored XQA, while its BF16 benchmark reported 21.16 ms mean
+TPOT for XQA versus 19.47 ms for FA3. That is not a direct native-FlashInfer
+comparison, but it demonstrates why SM90 compatibility alone is insufficient
+to choose the fastest BF16 kernel. See the
+[vLLM XQA benchmark](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/43232#issuecomment-4501176335).
+
+The end-to-end H800 A/B in
+[issue #5584](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/issues/5584#issuecomment-5188700218)
+isolated the routing decision on the same vLLM 0.25 stack:
+
+| Decode path | TTFP (ms) | RTF |
+|---|---:|---:|
+| XQA (automatic default) | 175.76 | 0.3405 |
+| Native FlashInfer (`use_trtllm_attention: false`) | 166.39 | 0.3233 |
+| vLLM 0.24 reference | 166.68 | 0.3209 |
+
+This proves that XQA selection causes the observed local regression and that
+native FlashInfer recovers the pre-v0.25 range. It does not by itself identify
+one defective XQA instruction or memory transaction. Establishing that deeper
+kernel-level cause requires an attention-only microbenchmark and GPU profiler
+trace for the exact Higgs batch/context distribution. Until vLLM has a
+workload-aware selector or XQA is faster for this BF16 shape, the model-level
+pin is the deterministic choice.
+
 ## Notes
 
 - Stage 1 remains `enforce_eager: true` in both profiles.
