+# Examples Python Policy
+
+Prevent new model-specific Python examples without forcing cleanup of the
+existing backlog. Run this check on every PR in quick and full modes.
+
+## Scope
+
+Set the merge base as in the main workflow, then list Python paths introduced
+by the PR, including additions, copies, and renames:
+
+```bash
+BASE="$(git merge-base HEAD origin/main)"
+git diff --name-status --diff-filter=ACR --find-renames --find-copies \
+  "${BASE}"...HEAD -- 'examples/**/*.py'
+```
+
+Inspect destination paths for copies and renames. Existing model-specific files
+that are only modified or deleted are grandfathered and must not be reported.
+
+## Blocking classification
+
+Mark ✗ when a newly introduced Python file does any of the following:
+
+- Names or scopes a path to one model, checkpoint, vendor, or model family.
+- Hard-codes a model identifier, model-specific prompt, request shape, output
+  conversion, or launch configuration behind an otherwise generic filename.
+- Duplicates an existing task/protocol runner to demonstrate one model.
+- Adds a per-model helper below a generic task hub such as `text_to_speech/`.
+
+Do not infer safety from a generic filename alone. For example, a file named
+`text_to_audio.py` is still model-specific if it only implements one model's
+contract.
+
+## Acceptable additions
+
+A new Python example may pass when it is a genuinely model-neutral,
+user-facing task or protocol entrypoint. It must accept model selection through
+configuration and keep model-specific behavior out of the script.
+
+Use ⚠ when the file is model-neutral but reusable logic appears misplaced under
+`examples/`. Route code by purpose:
+
+| Code purpose | Preferred location |
+|---|---|
+| Model prompt, defaults, request/output adaptation | `vllm_omni/model_extras/` or production model modules |
+| Runnable model command and validation evidence | Task documentation or `recipes/` |
+| UI or interactive application | `apps/` |
+| Benchmark or evaluator | `benchmarks/` |
+| Regression reproducer | `tests/` |
+| Download, conversion, or setup utility | `tools/` |
+
+If a model cannot use an existing shared runner, report the missing generic
+capability. Do not solve the gap by adding a model-specific Python example.
+
+## Report format
+
+Add one row to the pre-check report:
+
+```text
+Examples policy    ✓ no new Python example paths
+Examples policy    ⚠ generic helper belongs in tools/
+Examples policy    ✗ examples/offline_inference/new_model/end2end.py is model-specific
+Examples policy    ✗ examples/offline_inference/x_to_y_model_name.py is model-specific
+```
+
+For a blocker, name the path, the model-specific behavior, and the appropriate
+shared runner or destination. Do not propose deleting unrelated existing
+examples as part of the PR.

+#### Fixed IndexTTS 2.5 performance sweep
+
+IndexTTS 2.5 is registered in `model_configs.yaml` like the other TTS models.
+Use `--served-model-name` when the server was launched from a local native
+bundle instead of the registry key. The command below reproduces the acceptance
+workload: Seed-TTS Eval EN, `n=500`, concurrency `4/8/16/32`, five warmups, and
+dataset seed 0.
+
+```bash
+python benchmarks/tts/bench_tts.py \
+    --model IndexTeam/IndexTTS-2.5 \
+    --served-model-name /path/to/indextts-2.5 \
+    --task voice_clone --locale en \
+    --dataset-path /path/to/seedtts_testset \
+    --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8092 \
+    --concurrency 4 8 16 32 \
+    --num-prompts 500 --num-warmups 5 \
+    --output-dir ./results/indextts2_5 \
+    -- \
+    --tokenizer /path/to/indextts-2.5/qwen0.6bemo4-merge \
+    --seed 0 --metric-percentiles 50,95,99 --disable-tqdm --save-detailed
+```
+
+The wrapper benchmarks an already-running server. For reproducible quality
+comparisons, add `--request-seed 42`; production-performance runs should omit
+it. The trailing `--seed 0` controls Seed-TTS row selection rather than model
+sampling.

+# Features
+
+Use this section to choose and configure vLLM-Omni runtime and optimization
+features. The navigation follows the active
+[Feature Design](../design/index.md#feature-design-documents) taxonomy whenever
+an implementation contract has a user-facing workflow.
+
+!!! note "User guides, design documents, and recipes"
+
+    User guides explain how to enable a feature and where it is supported.
+    Design documents define internal contracts and do not, by themselves,
+    imply general or production support. For model-specific launch flags and
+    hardware requirements, use the linked examples and validated recipes from
+    [Supported Models](../models/supported_models.md).
+
+## Runtime and Stage Execution
+
+| Goal | User guide | Related design contract |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Choose serial, batched, step-wise, or streaming diffusion execution | [Execution Modes and Streaming](../user_guide/diffusion/execution_modes.md) | [Diffusion Continuous Batching](../design/feature/diffusion_continuous_batching.md), [Async Diffusion Output](../design/feature/async_diffusion_output.md) |
+| Reclaim stage memory without restarting the server | [Sleep Mode](sleep_mode.md) | Runtime lifecycle behavior is documented in the user guide |
+
+Some runtime designs are deliberately not promoted as standalone User Guide
+features yet:
+
+- [Disaggregated Inference](../design/feature/disaggregated_inference.md) and
+  [OmniConnector implementations](../design/index.md#communication) describe
+  topology and transport contracts. Practical deployment configuration remains
+  under [Pipeline and deploy configurations](../configuration/stage_configs.md).
+- [Async Chunk](../design/feature/async_chunk.md) and
+  [Async Omni Output Materialization](../design/feature/omni_async_output_materialization.md)
+  are model- and pipeline-dependent. Use the selected model's deploy
+  configuration and recipe for the supported settings.
+- [Automatic Prefix Caching](../design/feature/prefix_caching.md) remains a
+  design-level contract until its user-facing configuration and compatibility
+  surface is consolidated.
+
+## Quantization
+
+Quantization is a cross-model feature rather than a diffusion-only
+optimization. The unified [`quantization_config` guide](../user_guide/quantization/overview.md)
+covers diffusion-only models, multi-stage omni/TTS models, and multi-stage
+diffusion models. Its [design contract](../design/feature/quantization.md)
+defines the shared configuration and backend extension points.
+
+## Diffusion Acceleration
+
+| Goal | User guide | Related design contract |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Compare acceleration methods and supported combinations | [Overview](../user_guide/diffusion_features.md), [Feature Compatibility](../user_guide/feature_compatibility.md) | [Diffusion acceleration designs](../design/index.md#diffusion-acceleration) |
+| Move weights between host and device memory | [CPU Offloading](../user_guide/diffusion/cpu_offload.md) | [Distributed Layerwise Offload](../design/feature/distributed_layerwise_offload.md) |
+| Reuse denoising computation | [Cache Acceleration](../user_guide/diffusion/cache_acceleration/cache_dit.md) | [Cache-DiT](../design/feature/cache_dit.md), [TeaCache](../design/feature/teacache.md) |
+| Distribute diffusion work across devices | [Parallelism](../user_guide/diffusion/parallelism/overview.md) | [Parallelism designs](../design/index.md#parallelism) |
+| Select dense, sparse, or quantized attention paths | [Attention Backends](../user_guide/diffusion/attention_backends.md) | [Skip-Softmax](../design/feature/skip_softmax.md) |
+| Compile repeated diffusion regions | [Regional Compilation](../user_guide/diffusion/regional_compilation.md) | User-facing optimization guide |
+| Add generated video frames | [Frame Interpolation](../user_guide/diffusion/frame_interpolation.md) | User-facing extension guide |
+| Reduce diffusion model startup time | [Startup and Loading](../user_guide/diffusion/startup_and_loading.md) | User-facing loading guide |
+| Apply diffusion adapters | [LoRA](../user_guide/diffusion/lora.md) | User-facing extension guide |
+
+The [Pipeline Parallelism guide](../user_guide/diffusion/parallelism/pipeline_parallel.md)
+remains available by direct link, but it is not promoted in the primary User
+Guide navigation until its user-facing support and placement are settled.
+
+## Experimental
+
+[Session State Manager](session_state_manager.md) is opt-in and experimental.
+Its APIs and compatibility may change without notice.

-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: 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.

 # LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) Guide
 
-LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) enables fine-tuning diffusion models by adding trainable low-rank matrices to existing model weights. vLLM-Omni currently supports PEFT-style LoRA adapters, allowing you to customize model behavior without modifying the base model weights.
+LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) enables fine-tuning diffusion models by adding trainable low-rank matrices to existing model weights. vLLM-Omni supports two LoRA backends: **PEFT** for PEFT-style adapters, and **Distill** usually for few-steps inference. **PEFT** backend allows you to customize model behavior without modifying the base model weights. **Distill** backend fuses LoRA weights into the base model at initialization.
 
 ## Overview
 
-LoRA adapters are lightweight, model-specific fine-tuning weights that can be dynamically loaded and applied to diffusion models. vLLM-Omni uses a unified LoRA handling mechanism similar to vLLM with LRU cache management.
+LoRA adapters are lightweight, model-specific fine-tuning weights that can be applied to diffusion models in two ways:
+
+- **PEFT backend** (`--lora-backend peft`, default): Loads a PEFT-format adapter folder via `DiffusionLoRAManager`. Adapters are cached (LRU) and activated per request via `LoRARequest`. It uses a unified LoRA handling mechanisms similar to vLLM with LRU cache management.
+- **Distill backend** (`--lora-backend distill`): Calls `pipeline.load_lora_weights` once at initialization to fuse one or more concrete checkpoint files directly into the base weights. Typically used for distilled few-step LoRAs (e.g. Lightning, LightX2V).
 
 ## LoRA Adapter Format

+#### Distill backend: fuse distilled LoRA at init
+
+For distilled few-step LoRAs, pass `lora_backend="distill"` together with one or more concrete `.safetensors` files. The weights are fused into the base model once at init; subsequent `generate()` calls do not need a `LoRARequest`.
+
+##### Supported pipelines
+
+For Qwen-Image and Wan pipelines, the distill backend calls `pipeline.load_lora_weights(...)` during worker initialization.
+
+| Pipeline | Supported distilled LoRA repo | Notes |
+|----------|--------------------------------|-------|
+| `QwenImagePipeline` | `lightx2v/Qwen-Image-2512-Lightning` | Used with Qwen-Image-2512 Lightning-style few-step inference. |
+| `Wan22Pipeline` | `lightx2v/Wan2.1-Distill-Loras`, `lightx2v/Wan2.2-Distill-Loras` | Wan2.1 uses one LoRA file. For dual-transformer Wan2.2 MoE, pass high-noise then low-noise LoRA files. |
+| `Wan22I2VPipeline` | `lightx2v/Wan2.2-Distill-Loras` | For dual-transformer Wan2.2 MoE, pass high-noise then low-noise LoRA files. |
+
+Other diffusion pipelines are not currently listed as supporting distilled LoRA. Use the PEFT backend for request-time adapters, or bake converted weights into a local Diffusers directory before serving.
+
+Single-file example (Qwen-Image-Lightning):
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni import Omni
+
+omni = Omni(
+    model="Qwen/Qwen-Image-2512",
+    lora_path="/path/to/Qwen-Image-2512-Lightning.safetensors",
+    lora_backend="distill",
+)
+
+outputs = omni.generate(prompt="A piece of cheesecake")
+```
+
+Multi-file example (Wan2.2 MoE, high + low noise):
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni import Omni
+
+omni = Omni(
+    model="Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers",
+    lora_path=[
+        "/path/to/wan2.2_high_noise_lora.safetensors",   # -> transformer
+        "/path/to/wan2.2_low_noise_lora.safetensors",    # -> transformer_2
+    ],
+    lora_backend="distill",
+)
+```
+
+The CLI examples under `examples/offline_inference/` accept the same flags, e.g.:
+
+```bash
+python examples/offline_inference/text_to_video/text_to_video.py \
+  --model Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers \
+  --lora-backend distill \
+  --lora-path /path/to/high.safetensors /path/to/low.safetensors \
+  --prompt "A cat playing with yarn"
+```
+
+##### Online serving
+
+Distilled LoRAs can also be fused when an online diffusion server starts. The
+adapter remains active for the lifetime of that server, so requests do not pass
+a per-request `lora` field.
+
+```bash
+vllm serve Qwen/Qwen-Image-2512 \
+  --omni \
+  --port 8091 \
+  --lora-backend distill \
+  --lora-path /path/to/Qwen-Image-2512-Lightning-4steps.safetensors
+```
+
+Then send a normal generation request with the sampling settings expected by
+the distilled checkpoint:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://localhost:8091/v1/chat/completions \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

 ## Multi-Thread Weight Loading
 
-Large diffusion models can take several minutes to load weights at startup (e.g., ~3 min for Qwen-Image, ~5 min for Wan2.2 I2V 14B). Multi-thread weight loading speeds up this process by loading safetensors shards in parallel using a thread pool instead of sequentially.
-
-This optimization is **enabled by default** with 4 threads. No configuration is needed for the default behavior.
-
-### Configuration
-
-| Parameter | CLI Flag | Default | Description |
-|-----------|----------|---------|-------------|
-| `enable_multithread_weight_load` | `--disable-multithread-weight-load` | `True` (enabled) | Pass the flag to disable multi-thread loading |
-| `num_weight_load_threads` | `--num-weight-load-threads` | `4` | Number of threads for parallel weight loading |
-
-!!! tip
-    The default of 4 threads balances speed and disk I/O contention. On fast NVMe storage you may benefit from more threads (e.g., 8). On HDD or network storage, the default of 4 avoids saturating I/O bandwidth.

+"""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 \
+        --checkpoint /path/to/NVIDIA-NemotronLabs-VoiceChat-11B \
+        --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.

-2-stage TTS pipeline (GPT AR talker + S2Mel CFM DiT + BigVGAN vocoder) at 22.05 kHz. Every request requires reference audio for zero-shot voice cloning. Supports emotion conditioning via audio, text, or 8-dim vector.
+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.

+
+### 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.

 ### Notes
-- `--ref-audio` is **required** — IndexTTS-2 does not support text-only synthesis.
-- Stage 0 (AR Talker): GPT-2 generates mel codes from text + reference audio.
-- Stage 1 (S2Mel + BigVGAN): CFM DiT converts mel codes to waveform at 22.05 kHz.
-- Deploy config: `vllm_omni/deploy/indextts2.yaml`. Stage 1 runs with `enforce_eager: true` (DiT has dynamic shapes).
+- `--ref-audio` is **required** — neither version provides text-only synthesis.
+- IndexTTS-2.5 Stage 0 (AR Talker) generates mel codes from text + reference audio using plain vLLM sampling. It does not reproduce the official default `num_beams=3` beam search. For parity comparisons, run upstream with `num_beams=1`; output quality can differ from the official beam-search result.
+- IndexTTS-2.5 accepts language codes such as `zh`, `en`, `zhen` (mixed Chinese/English), `ja`, and `yue`. `Mandarin` is a vLLM-Omni convenience alias for `zh`. Japanese (`ja`) uses `fugashi` tokenization and produces audio, but it does not automatically expand numbers, dates, or percentages; write those inputs as readable Japanese text before calling the model. Use `--no-text-normalization` only when the input is already normalized.
+- A seed controls Stage 0 AR sampling and per-request CFM noise. Different concurrent batch compositions do not guarantee a bit-identical waveform.
+- Stage 1 (semantic codec + S2Mel + BigVGAN): CFM/DiT converts the complete semantic-code sequence to waveform.
+- Deploy configs: `vllm_omni/deploy/indextts2.yaml` and `indextts2_5.yaml`.
+- `async_chunk=false` is intentional for IndexTTS-2.5 correctness: S2Mel consumes the completed semantic sequence.

 # Text-To-Image
 
-This example demonstrates how to deploy Qwen-Image model for online image generation service using vLLM-Omni.
+This example demonstrates online text-to-image generation with vLLM-Omni. The
+startup script and Python clients default to Qwen-Image, but `MODEL` can select
+any supported text-to-image model. The existing curl helper remains a concrete

 ## LoRA
 
-This example supports Peft-compatible LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) adapters for diffusion models. The LoRA adapter path must be readable on the **server** machine (usually a local path or a mounted directory).
+This example supports both startup-time distilled LoRAs and request-time
+PEFT-compatible adapters. The LoRA path must be readable on the **server**
+machine (usually a local path or a mounted directory).
+
+### Start Server with a Distilled LoRA
+
+```bash
+vllm serve Qwen/Qwen-Image-2512 \
+  --omni \
+  --port 8091 \
+  --lora-backend distill \
+  --lora-path /path/to/Qwen-Image-2512-Lightning-4steps.safetensors
+```
+
+The distilled LoRA is fused once during server initialization and applies to
+every request. Use the checkpoint's few-step sampling settings, for example
+`num_inference_steps=4` and `true_cfg_scale=1.0`.

IndexTTS-2.5 uses a multilingual tokenizer, CAMPPlus speaker projection, EnhancedCodec, and code-only Stage 0→1 transfer by default.

-- Provide `ref_audio` on the documented raw request path, or pass `voice` only when it names an uploaded audio voice; IndexTTS-2 does not provide a built-in text-only preset voice.
+- Provide `ref_audio` on the documented raw request path, or pass `voice` only when it names an uploaded audio voice; neither version provides a built-in text-only preset voice.
+- IndexTTS-2.5 request controls `lang` and `text_normalization` are carried in `extra_params`; the client does this for `--model-version 2.5`.
+- IndexTTS-2.5 accepts the public `speed` request field in `[0.5, 2.0]`: `2.0` generates shorter, faster speech and `0.5` generates longer, slower speech. This is native Stage 1 duration control, so serving does not apply the generic playback-speed adjustment a second time. IndexTTS-2 does not use this control.
+- IndexTTS-2.5 accepts language codes such as `zh`, `en`, `zhen` (mixed Chinese/English), `ja`, and `yue`. `Mandarin` is a vLLM-Omni convenience alias for `zh`. Japanese (`ja`) uses `fugashi` tokenization and produces audio, but it does not automatically expand numbers, dates, or percentages; callers should first write those inputs as readable Japanese text.
+- A request `seed` controls Stage 0 AR sampling and per-request CFM noise. Different concurrent batch compositions do not guarantee a bit-identical waveform.
+- IndexTTS-2.5 Stage 0 uses plain vLLM sampling and does not reproduce the official default `num_beams=3` beam search. For parity comparisons, run upstream with `num_beams=1`; output quality can differ from the official beam-search result.
 - Emotion params (`emo_audio`, `emo_text`, `emo_vector`, `emo_alpha`, `use_emo_text`, `use_random`) are passed via the `extra_params` field. Official precedence is `use_emo_text` > `emo_vector` > `emo_audio` > same emotion as the speaker reference.
-- `stream=true` is accepted as an OpenAI-compatible response path, but IndexTTS-2 is not async-chunk streaming; audio is produced after S2Mel receives the full mel-code sequence.
-- Deploy config: `vllm_omni/deploy/indextts2.yaml` (auto-loaded).
+- IndexTTS-2.5 uses `vllm_omni/deploy/indextts2_5.yaml` with the official code-only Stage 0 to Stage 1 contract.
+- For IndexTTS-2.5, set `MODEL` to the local native bundle; asset discovery accepts its nested `checkpoints/` layout.

+# IndexTTS-2.5 for multilingual voice-cloned TTS on 1x GPU
+
+## Summary
+
+- Vendor: IndexTeam
+- Model: `IndexTeam/IndexTTS-2.5`
+- Task: Multilingual text-to-speech with voice cloning, emotion control, and
+  native speed control
+- Mode: Online serving with the OpenAI-compatible `/v1/audio/speech` API, or
+  offline inference through `Omni`
+- Maintainer: Community
+
+## When to use this recipe
+
+Use this recipe to serve IndexTTS-2.5 as a two-stage TTS system. Stage 0 is an
+autoregressive talker; Stage 1 uses EnhancedCodec, S2Mel CFM/DiT, and BigVGAN
+to produce 22.05 kHz mono speech. Each request supplies synthesis text and
+reference audio, or an uploaded audio voice, for zero-shot voice cloning.
+
+IndexTTS-2.5 adds multilingual text processing and model-native speed control
+to the IndexTTS-2 serving contract.

+### 1x NVIDIA H20 96GB
+
+#### Environment
+
+- OS: Linux
+- Python: 3.10+
+- Driver / runtime: NVIDIA CUDA environment
+- vLLM version: Match the repository requirements for your checkout
+- vLLM-Omni version or commit: Use the commit you are deploying from
+
+Install vLLM-Omni with the IndexTTS text-processing dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install 'vllm-omni[indextts2]'
+```
+
+Obtain the native IndexTTS-2.5 bundle and point `MODEL` at its root. The model
+loader accepts the upstream nested `checkpoints/` layout.
+
+#### Command
+
+Start the standard code-only server from the repository root:
+
+```bash
+MODEL_VERSION=2.5 \
+MODEL=/path/to/indextts-2.5 \
+bash examples/online_serving/text_to_speech/indextts2/run_server.sh
+```
+
+This selects `vllm_omni/deploy/indextts2_5.yaml`, which uses
+`use_gpt_latent=false`. To launch directly:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve /path/to/indextts-2.5 \
+  --omni \
+  --trust-remote-code \
+  --port 8092 \
+  --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/indextts2_5.yaml
+```
+
+#### Optional: NVIDIA MPS for higher single-GPU throughput
+
+Stage 0 and Stage 1 run in separate processes on the same GPU. Enabling
+NVIDIA Multi-Process Service (MPS) can improve steady-state throughput by
+allowing work from both stages to overlap more effectively. MPS is an opt-in
+deployment optimization: this recipe does not start it automatically, and the
+gain depends on the request mix and concurrency, so benchmark it with the
+intended workload before enabling it in production.
+
+Pay attention to CUDA device renumbering. For example, if the MPS control
+daemon is started with physical `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1`, that GPU is exposed
+to MPS clients as logical device `0`; launch the server with
+`CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0`, not `1`. Use a dedicated MPS pipe/log directory when
+the host is shared with other services, and stop only the MPS daemon owned by
+this deployment.
+
+#### Verification
+
+Send a multilingual voice-cloning request with the bundled client. Local audio
+paths are converted to base64 data URLs before transmission:
+
+```bash
+python examples/online_serving/text_to_speech/indextts2/speech_client.py \
+  --api-base http://localhost:8092 \
+  --model-version 2.5 \
+  --model /path/to/indextts-2.5 \
+  --lang zh \
+  --text "你好，这是 IndexTTS-2.5 语音合成测试。" \
+  --ref-audio /path/to/reference.wav \
+  --output indextts2_5.wav
+```
+
+##### Native speed control
+
+The public `speed` field is handled natively. Its accepted range is
+`[0.5, 2.0]`; values above `1.0` produce shorter, faster speech. The serving
+adapter converts the API convention to the model-native control with
+`duration_factor = 1.0 / speed`, so `speed=1.25` uses
+`duration_factor=0.8`:
+
+```bash
+python examples/online_serving/text_to_speech/indextts2/speech_client.py \
+  --api-base http://localhost:8092 \
+  --model-version 2.5 \
+  --model /path/to/indextts-2.5 \
+  --speed 1.25 \
+  --text "这是使用模型原生语速控制的测试。" \
+  --ref-audio /path/to/reference.wav \
+  --output indextts2_5_speed.wav
+```
+
+##### Upload and reuse a named voice
+
+Upload a reference recording once when callers should reuse the same voice
+without sending `ref_audio` on every request. `consent` is required by the
+voice-storage API:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8092/v1/audio/voices \
+  -F "audio_sample=@/path/to/reference.wav" \
+  -F "consent=user-consent-id" \
+  -F "name=indextts_demo_voice" \
+  -F "speaker_description=IndexTTS-2.5 demonstration voice"
+```
+
+Confirm that the voice was stored, then synthesize with its name instead of a
+reference-audio payload:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8092/v1/audio/voices
+
+python examples/online_serving/text_to_speech/indextts2/speech_client.py \
+  --api-base http://localhost:8092 \
+  --model-version 2.5 \
+  --model /path/to/indextts-2.5 \
+  --voice indextts_demo_voice \
+  --lang zh \
+  --text "你好，这是复用已上传音色的语音合成测试。" \
+  --output indextts2_5_named_voice.wav
+```
+
+There are no built-in text-only preset voices. Each named IndexTTS voice must
+first be created from an uploaded reference recording.
+
+##### Multilingual synthesis and text normalization
+
+The client accepts `zh` (Mandarin), `en` (English), `zhen` (mixed Chinese and
+English), `ja` (Japanese), and `yue` (Cantonese). The following commands use
+the same reference voice across all supported language modes:
+
+```bash
+CLIENT=examples/online_serving/text_to_speech/indextts2/speech_client.py
+MODEL=/path/to/indextts-2.5
+REF_AUDIO=/path/to/reference.wav
+
+python "$CLIENT" --model-version 2.5 --model "$MODEL" \
+  --ref-audio "$REF_AUDIO" --lang zh \
+  --text "你好，这是中文语音合成测试。" --output indextts2_5_zh.wav
+
+python "$CLIENT" --model-version 2.5 --model "$MODEL" \
+  --ref-audio "$REF_AUDIO" --lang en \
+  --text "Hello, this is an English speech synthesis test." \
+  --output indextts2_5_en.wav
+
+python "$CLIENT" --model-version 2.5 --model "$MODEL" \
+  --ref-audio "$REF_AUDIO" --lang zhen \
+  --text "Hello，欢迎使用 IndexTTS 二点五。" --output indextts2_5_zhen.wav
+
+python "$CLIENT" --model-version 2.5 --model "$MODEL" \
+  --ref-audio "$REF_AUDIO" --lang ja \
+  --text "こんにちは、これは日本語の音声合成テストです。" \
+  --output indextts2_5_ja.wav
+
+python "$CLIENT" --model-version 2.5 --model "$MODEL" \
+  --ref-audio "$REF_AUDIO" --lang yue \
+  --text "你好，呢段係粵語語音合成測試。" --output indextts2_5_yue.wav
+```
+
+Text normalization is enabled by default. Disable it only when the input is
+already written exactly as it should be spoken:
+
+```bash
+python examples/online_serving/text_to_speech/indextts2/speech_client.py \
+  --model-version 2.5 --model /path/to/indextts-2.5 \
+  --ref-audio /path/to/reference.wav --lang en --no-text-normalization \
+  --text "The temperature is twenty five degrees." \
+  --output indextts2_5_pre_normalized.wav
+```
+
+For raw HTTP requests, put the same language and text-normalization controls
+under `extra_params`:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8092/v1/audio/speech \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "model": "/path/to/indextts-2.5",
+    "input": "This is an IndexTTS-2.5 test.",
+    "response_format": "wav",
+    "speed": 1.0,
+    "ref_audio": "data:audio/wav;base64,<BASE64_ENCODED_AUDIO>",
+    "extra_params": {
+      "lang": "en",
+      "text_normalization": true
+    }
+  }' \
+  --output indextts2_5_en.wav
+```
+
+##### Emotion control
+
+IndexTTS-2.5 supports an explicit eight-value emotion vector, an emotion text
+description, or a separate emotion-reference recording. Use one source at a
+time. Vector values are ordered as `happy`, `angry`, `sad`, `afraid`,
+`disgusted`, `melancholic`, `surprised`, and `calm`; each value must be in
+`[0, 1.2]`. `emo_alpha` controls the strength in `[0, 1]`.
+
+Use an explicit emotion vector for deterministic control:
+
+```bash
+python examples/online_serving/text_to_speech/indextts2/speech_client.py \
+  --model-version 2.5 --model /path/to/indextts-2.5 \
+  --ref-audio /path/to/reference.wav --lang zh \
+  --text "今天真是令人开心的一天！" \
+  --emo-vector 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 \
+  --emo-alpha 0.8 --output indextts2_5_happy_vector.wav
+```
+
+Infer the emotion from a natural-language description with `use_emo_text`:
+
+```bash
+python examples/online_serving/text_to_speech/indextts2/speech_client.py \
+  --model-version 2.5 --model /path/to/indextts-2.5 \
+  --ref-audio /path/to/reference.wav --lang zh \
+  --text "我们终于完成了这项工作！" \
+  --use-emo-text --emo-text "开心、兴奋而且充满活力" \
+  --emo-alpha 0.8 --output indextts2_5_happy_text.wav
+```
+
+Transfer emotion from a recording while retaining the speaker identity from
+`ref_audio`:
+
+```bash
+python examples/online_serving/text_to_speech/indextts2/speech_client.py \
+  --model-version 2.5 --model /path/to/indextts-2.5 \
+  --ref-audio /path/to/reference.wav --lang zh \
+  --text "请用情绪参考音频中的表达方式朗读这句话。" \
+  --emo-audio /path/to/emotion_reference.wav \
+  --emo-alpha 0.8 --output indextts2_5_emotion_audio.wav
+```
+
+If multiple emotion sources are supplied, the official precedence is
+`use_emo_text` > `emo_vector` > `emo_audio` > the emotion in the speaker
+reference. `--use-random` is also available for exploratory random emotion
+prototypes, but should not be used when reproducible conditioning is required.
+
+For offline inference:
+
+```bash
+python examples/offline_inference/text_to_speech/indextts2/end2end.py \
+  --model /path/to/indextts-2.5 \
+  --model-version 2.5 \
+  --lang zh \
+  --speed 1.0 \
+  --text "你好，这是离线语音合成测试。" \
+  --ref-audio /path/to/reference.wav
+```
+
+#### Notes
+
+- Hardware scope: the standard recipe has been exercised on one NVIDIA H200.
+  It does not claim an unverified throughput or quality result.
+- Audio output: 22.05 kHz mono WAV.
+- Voice cloning: reference audio is required on the documented raw request
+  path. Alternatively, `voice` may name an uploaded audio voice; there is no
+  built-in text-only preset voice.
+- Native speed: serving maps `speed` to the model's duration factor and skips
+  generic waveform speed adjustment, so speed is applied exactly once.
+- Languages: common codes include `zh`, `en`, `zhen` (mixed Chinese/English),
+  `ja`, and `yue`; `Mandarin` is accepted as an alias for `zh`.
+- Japanese normalization: `ja` tokenization does not automatically expand
+  numbers, dates, or percentages. Write these inputs as readable Japanese text
+  before inference.
+- Emotion controls: `use_emo_text`, `emo_vector`, and `emo_audio` are
+  alternative conditioning modes. Their precedence is `use_emo_text` >
+  `emo_vector` > `emo_audio` > the speaker-reference emotion.
+- Sampling difference: Stage 0 uses plain vLLM sampling, not the upstream
+  default `num_beams=3` beam search. Use upstream `num_beams=1` for parity
+  comparisons; output may differ from the official beam-search result.

+# MiniMax-H3 on RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell GPUs
+
+This recipe runs MiniMax-H3 in BF16 on 72 GiB RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell GPUs. It
+contains the validated two-GPU DLO configuration and the recommended resident
+configurations: TP1 x Ulysses2 with 20 resident layers on two GPUs, TP2 x
+Ulysses2 on four GPUs, and TP4 x Ulysses2 on eight GPUs. The four- and
+eight-GPU routes do not require offload.
+
+## Capacity requirements
+
+| Resource | Requirement |
+| --- | ---: |
+| GPUs | 2, 4, or 8 x RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell |
+| GPU HBM | 72 GiB per GPU |
+| Checkpoint storage | 135 GiB per partition |
+| Available system RAM | 200 GiB minimum |
+| Recommended system RAM | 384 GiB |
+
+`FL2VA` and `Ref2VA` are separate checkpoint partitions. Start one server at a
+time on a host sized for the minimum system-memory requirement.
+
+## PCIe topology and GPU order
+
+RTX PRO 5000 does not provide NVLink. Before starting the server, identify the
+closest PCIe pairs and their NUMA affinity:
+
+```bash
+nvidia-smi topo -m
+nvidia-smi nvlink -s
+```
+
+For two GPUs, select the closest PCIe pair on one NUMA node. For four GPUs,
+select all cards from one NUMA node. On the validated host,
+physical GPUs `(0,1)` and `(2,3)` are the two `PXB` pairs on NUMA node 0. The
+order `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,2,1,3` maps the Ulysses groups to those local
+pairs. For eight GPUs, the validated order is `0,4,1,5,2,6,3,7`, with host
+memory interleaved across NUMA nodes 0 and 1. Do not copy these IDs blindly:
+reproduce the same PCIe and NUMA relationships on the target host.
+
+## Recommended serving configurations
+
+### Two GPUs
+
+Two 72 GiB cards require distributed layerwise offload. The validated route
+uses TP1 x Ulysses2, keeps 20 leading DiT layers resident, and streams
+rank-local weights without AllGather. Eager execution avoids regional-compile
+instability on this offload path.
+
+```bash
+export MODEL_ROOT=/path/to/MiniMax-H3
+export MODEL="${MODEL_ROOT}/FL2VA"
+export PORT=8091
+
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 \
+VLLM_WORKER_MULTIPROC_METHOD=spawn \
+VLLM_OMNI_VIDEO_SYNC_TIMEOUT=1800 \
+numactl --cpunodebind=0 --membind=0 \
+vllm serve "${MODEL}" \
+  --omni \
+  --host 0.0.0.0 \
+  --port "${PORT}" \
+  --trust-remote-code \
+  --num-gpus 2 \
+  --tensor-parallel-size 1 \
+  --usp 2 \
+  --ring 1 \
+  --text-encoder-tp-size 2 \
+  --vae-patch-parallel-size 2 \
+  --vae-parallel-mode tile \
+  --vae-use-tiling \
+  --diffusion-attention-backend CUDNN_ATTN \
+  --enable-distributed-layerwise-offload \
+  --dlo-no-use-allgather \
+  --dlo-resident-layers 20 \
+  --enforce-eager
+```
+
+### Four GPUs
+
+The validated baseline uses TP2 x Ulysses2, text-encoder TP4, VAE patch
+parallelism 4, and explicit cuDNN BF16 attention. Selecting the backend
+explicitly keeps the recipe independent of platform-default backend changes.
+
+```bash
+export MODEL_ROOT=/path/to/MiniMax-H3
+export MODEL="${MODEL_ROOT}/FL2VA"
+export PORT=8091
+
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,2,1,3 \
+VLLM_WORKER_MULTIPROC_METHOD=spawn \
+VLLM_OMNI_VIDEO_SYNC_TIMEOUT=1800 \
+numactl --cpunodebind=0 --membind=0 \
+vllm serve "${MODEL}" \
+  --omni \
+  --host 0.0.0.0 \
+  --port "${PORT}" \
+  --trust-remote-code \
+  --num-gpus 4 \
+  --tensor-parallel-size 2 \
+  --usp 2 \
+  --ring 1 \
+  --text-encoder-tp-size 4 \
+  --vae-patch-parallel-size 4 \
+  --vae-parallel-mode tile \
+  --vae-use-tiling \
+  --diffusion-attention-backend CUDNN_ATTN
+```
+
+### Eight GPUs
+
+The recommended eight-GPU route uses TP4 x Ulysses2, text-encoder TP8, VAE
+patch parallelism 8, and host-memory interleaving across both NUMA nodes.
+
+```bash
+export MODEL_ROOT=/path/to/MiniMax-H3
+export MODEL="${MODEL_ROOT}/FL2VA"
+export PORT=8091
+
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,4,1,5,2,6,3,7 \
+VLLM_WORKER_MULTIPROC_METHOD=spawn \
+VLLM_OMNI_VIDEO_SYNC_TIMEOUT=1800 \
+numactl --interleave=0,1 \
+vllm serve "${MODEL}" \
+  --omni \
+  --host 0.0.0.0 \
+  --port "${PORT}" \
+  --trust-remote-code \
+  --num-gpus 8 \
+  --tensor-parallel-size 4 \
+  --usp 2 \
+  --ring 1 \
+  --text-encoder-tp-size 8 \
+  --vae-patch-parallel-size 8 \
+  --vae-parallel-mode tile \
+  --vae-use-tiling \
+  --diffusion-attention-backend CUDNN_ATTN
+```
+
+For the four- and eight-GPU resident routes, do not add `--enforce-eager`.
+Warm the server once before measuring so regional compilation is outside the
+measured request. The two-GPU DLO route intentionally remains eager.
+
+For Ref2VA, stop the FL2VA server and restart the same command with
+`MODEL="${MODEL_ROOT}/Ref2VA"`.
+
+## Target-hardware validation
+
+All three configurations were exercised on a PCIe-only, dual-socket host with
+eight RTX PRO 5000 GPUs. The run used PyTorch 2.11.0+cu130, CUDA 13.0, driver
+580.95.05, 1344x768 output, 124 frames, and two warmups.
+
+The four-GPU route also received a five-step profiling validation for GPU
+balance:
+
+| Measurement | Result |
+| --- | ---: |
+| Maximum externally sampled peak | 69,219 MiB (67.60 GiB) per GPU |
+| T2VA worker-reported peak | 65,314 MiB |
+| First-frame FL2VA worker-reported peak | 66,780 MiB |
+| T2VA maximum GPU kernel-time deviation | 0.56% |
+| First-frame FL2VA maximum GPU kernel-time deviation | 0.09% |
+
+The recommended routes produced the following 50-step results. MiniMax-H3
+requested 50 denoise steps and executed 49 denoise updates, so per-step latency
+is `denoise / 49`.
+
+| GPUs | Workload | Parallelism | E2E (s) | Text encode (s) | Denoise (s) | VAE decode (s) | Per step (ms) | Peak memory (GiB) |
+| ---: | --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| 2 | T2VA | TP1 x Ulysses2, DLO resident 20 | 515.57 | 1.19 | 504.69 | 8.79 | 10,300 | 36.38 |
+| 2 | FL2VA first-frame I2VA | TP1 x Ulysses2, DLO resident 20 | 553.45 | 1.27 | 541.90 | 8.76 | 11,059 | 36.38 |
+| 4 | T2VA | TP2 x Ulysses2 | 284.01 | 0.03 | 278.73 | 4.36 | 5,688 | 67.58 |
+| 4 | FL2VA first-frame I2VA | TP2 x Ulysses2 | 305.72 | 0.28 | 299.85 | 4.36 | 6,119 | 67.58 |
+| 8 | T2VA | TP4 x Ulysses2 | 163.20 | 0.04 | 159.40 | 2.58 | 3,253 | 45.83 |
+| 8 | FL2VA first-frame I2VA | TP4 x Ulysses2 | 171.62 | 0.27 | 167.25 | 2.57 | 3,413 | 45.83 |
+
+Peak memory is the maximum per-GPU value sampled externally with
+`nvidia-smi`. The two-GPU route leaves about 34.7 GiB below the reported
+73,415 MiB device capacity, the four-GPU route leaves about 4.1 GiB, and the
+eight-GPU route leaves about 25.9 GiB. Re-measure memory for longer reference
+inputs, concurrency greater than one, or a different output shape.

+> 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.

+|---|---|---|---|
+| 0 thinker | `NemotronVoiceChatThinkerForConditionalGeneration` (LLM_AR) | fp32 | WAV + system prompt -> frame-locked text-token timeline (+ function channel) |

+| 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.

+    --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.
