+# Prometheus Metrics Design
+
+This document describes how vLLM-Omni exposes Prometheus metrics for multi-stage pipelines, the constraints that shaped the design, and how the pipeline-level metrics coexist with upstream vLLM per-engine metrics. This iteration covers the text and audio surface; diffusion / image / video families land in a follow-up.
+
+## Objectives
+
+- Expose pipeline-level request and latency metrics that span the full multi-stage execution (orchestrator scope).
+- Preserve all upstream vLLM per-engine metrics (`vllm:*`) for stages backed by an AR LLM engine, and reshape their `engine` label into `stage` + `replica` so multi-replica deployments gain per-replica visibility automatically.
+- Expose per-modality SLO metrics that the upstream `vllm:*` families do not capture — audio TTFP / RTF / duration / frames / streaming continuity / silent-loss.
+- Expose per-replica-edge cross-stage transfer metrics so the slack between E2E latency and the sum of per-stage `gen_time` (queueing, serialization, network) becomes attributable.
+- Keep the metrics collection overhead low enough that it does not regress TTFA or throughput.
+
+## Background
+
+### Upstream vLLM Metrics
+
+Upstream vLLM defines ~37 Prometheus metric families under the `vllm:` prefix. These are registered by `PrometheusStatLogger` and cover engine-level state: KV cache usage, running/waiting request counts, token throughput, TTFT, inter-token latency, e2e latency, and so on. They are served via the `/metrics` HTTP endpoint provided by `prometheus_fastapi_instrumentator` and the default `prometheus_client` WSGI handler.
+
+vLLM's `unregister_vllm_metrics()` function strips every `prometheus_client` collector whose `_name` attribute contains the substring `"vllm"`. This runs during engine initialization to clean up stale collectors from prior instantiations within the same process.
+
+### The Problem
+
+vLLM-Omni runs multiple engine instances (stages × replicas) within a single process, coordinated by an Orchestrator. The pipeline needs its own metrics — aggregate request counts, end-to-end latency across all stages, per-modality SLO signals, and cross-stage transfer attribution — that do not exist in upstream vLLM. All pipeline-level metrics use the `vllm:omni_` prefix to distinguish them from upstream per-engine metrics. At import time (see `vllm_omni/patch.py`) we replace `unregister_vllm_metrics()` with a scoped version that still strips upstream `vllm:*` collectors before each new `PrometheusStatLogger` registers (so multi-engine processes don't crash on duplicate registration), but preserves anything prefixed `vllm:omni_` / `vllm_omni`.
+
+Upstream per-engine metrics retain the `vllm:` prefix but are now registered by `OmniPrometheusStatLogger`, a thin subclass of upstream's `PrometheusStatLogger` that reshapes the single `engine` label into a `stage` + `replica` pair (see "OmniPrometheusStatLogger wrap" below).

+
+### Data Flow
+
+There are four independent paths for metric collection.
+
+**Path 1: Pipeline-level metrics (`vllm:omni_*`)**
+
+`OmniPrometheusMetrics` registers the Gauge / Counter / Histogram collectors at import time. It is instantiated once per entrypoint, labeled with the model name. The entrypoint calls its methods as requests progress:
+
+- `set_running(n)` / `set_waiting(n)` — updated after each request completes. The running count comes from `OmniRequestCounter`, a simple counter incremented/decremented by the Orchestrator as it tracks requests. Waiting is derived as `total - running`.
+- `request_succeeded(e2e_seconds, finished_reason="stop")` — recorded when a request finishes at the final stage. `finished_reason` is extracted from `engine_outputs.outputs[0].finish_reason` (vLLM `CompletionOutput` convention) and increments `vllm:omni_requests_success_total{finished_reason}`.
+- `request_failed()` — recorded by the cleanup path when a request exits without natural completion. Internally maps to `finished_reason="abort"` so a single Counter family covers both natural and aborted completion.
+
+**Path 2: Audio modality metrics (`vllm:omni_audio_*`)**
+
+`OmniModalityMetrics` registers seven audio families with `{model_name, stage, replica}` (plus an extra `threshold_ms` / `reason` label on the two extra-cardinality Counters). Three observation sites:
+
+- `observe_modality_at_finalize(...)` — called from `omni_base._process_single_result` inside the existing `e2e_done` finalize guard. For `output_type == "audio"` it emits `audio_frames_total`, `audio_duration_s`, `audio_rtf` (or `audio_skipped_requests_total{reason="no_audio_data"}` when no audio was produced). Sample rate is resolved from `engine_outputs.multimodal_output` via `definitions.resolve_audio_sample_rate(...)` (fallback chain mirrors `serving_chat.py`'s audio response path).
+- `observe_audio_first_packet(...)` — called from the OpenAI SSE audio branch in `serving_chat.py` on the first audio packet for a request. The once-per-request guard is held by `ClientRequestState.first_audio_ts`. The `request_arrival_ts` anchor is stored in `ClientRequestState` by `async_omni.generate()`, computed at request entry.
+- `observe_audio_streaming_finalize(...)` — called from `serving_chat.py` after the streaming chunk loop exhausts. It runs the per-chunk player simulation from `vllm_omni/benchmarks/audio_continuity.py` to compute the worst-case underrun and emits `audio_underrun_s` plus (when the request stayed below the threshold) `audio_continuity_ok_total{threshold_ms}`. Per-chunk PCM byte counts and arrival timestamps are recorded by the same audio branch that updates `first_audio_ts`.
+
+**Path 3: Cross-stage transfer metrics (`vllm:omni_transfer_*`)**
+
+`OmniTransferMetrics` registers four Histogram families with `{model_name, from_stage, from_replica, to_stage, to_replica}` labels. Each observation corresponds to one physical transfer hop (one chunk between adjacent stages), not the per-request accumulated total — so the histograms track per-transfer distribution.
+
+The hook lives in `OrchestratorAggregator.record_transfer_tx` and `record_transfer_rx`. After the existing `TransferEdgeStats` accumulation, the aggregator calls `_emit_transfer_tx` / `_emit_transfer_rx`. Those:
+
+1. Resolve `from_replica` / `to_replica` via a `replica_resolver` callback supplied by `async_omni.py`. The resolver delegates to `stage_pool.get_bound_replica_id(request_id)` — i.e. the orchestrator's existing sticky-routing binding is the source of truth.
+2. Convert the underlying `_ms` accumulators to seconds and call the `_s`-suffixed observe methods on `OmniTransferMetrics`.
+
+Defensive fail-safe: if `transfer_emitter` or `replica_resolver` is missing, or the resolver returns `None` for either side, the emit is skipped silently (the underlying `TransferEdgeStats` accumulation is unaffected).
+
+**Path 4: Per-engine metrics (`vllm:*`, stage/replica wrap)**
+
+The Orchestrator instantiates `OmniPrometheusStatLogger` (a thin subclass of upstream `vllm.v1.metrics.loggers.PrometheusStatLogger`) and feeds it scheduler stats and iteration stats after processing each batch of engine outputs. This populates the standard ~37 vLLM metric families (TTFT, ITL, TPOT, KV cache usage, etc.) using the same upstream code path — but with the `engine` label reshaped into `stage` + `replica` so multi-replica deployments produce distinct series per replica. See the next section for the wrap mechanics.
+
+### Shared State Between Threads
+
+The Orchestrator runs in a background thread. The API server (OmniBase) runs in the asyncio event loop thread. `OmniRequestCounter` bridges them — a plain Python object with an `int` field. The Orchestrator increments/decrements it; the entrypoint reads it for gauge updates. No lock is needed because the counter is advisory (a stale read by one Prometheus scrape interval is acceptable). It is created by `AsyncOmniEngine.__init__()` and passed to the Orchestrator at construction time.
+
+### Metric Registration and Lifecycle
+
+All `vllm:omni_*` collectors are registered once when their owning class (`OmniPrometheusMetrics` / `OmniModalityMetrics` / `OmniTransferMetrics`) is imported. Per-`(stage, replica)` labels are bound lazily on first observation to avoid registering label sets for combinations that never produce data.
+
+The `prometheus_client` default registry holds all collectors. FastAPI's `/metrics` endpoint serves the default registry, so `vllm:omni_*` and the wrapped `vllm:*` metrics appear in the same scrape response alongside `http_*` and `process_*` metrics from the instrumentator and the Python client runtime.
+
+## OmniPrometheusStatLogger Wrap
+
+Upstream `PrometheusStatLogger.__init__` hard-codes `labelnames = ["model_name", "engine"]` as a local variable, references it across ~37 metric-family construction sites, and uses the `engine` label value in five different `.labels()` call shapes (kwarg with int engine, kwarg with str engine, positional with str engine in the middle, plus a `metrics_info["engine"] = str(...)` dict pattern). To reshape `engine` into `stage` + `replica` without forking the entire upstream `__init__`, the wrap uses three coordinated mechanisms:
+
+1. **Class-level metric class slot overrides.** `OmniPrometheusStatLogger` overrides `_gauge_cls`, `_counter_cls`, `_histogram_cls` (which upstream calls via `self._gauge_cls(...)` etc.) with `_RelabelGauge` / `_RelabelCounter` / `_RelabelHistogram` wrapper classes. These intercept the `labelnames` kwarg at metric family creation time and replace `engine` with `("stage", "replica")`.
+2. **Property descriptor for `per_engine_labelvalues`.** Upstream builds `self.per_engine_labelvalues = {idx: [model_name, str(idx)]}` inside `__init__` and then captures it into a local variable for `create_metric_per_engine` calls. By making `per_engine_labelvalues` a Python property on the subclass, the setter intercepts upstream's assignment and rewrites each 2-tuple into a 3-tuple `[model_name, stage, replica]` using the `stage_replica_map` supplied at construction time. The captured local then sees the rewritten dict.
+3. **Override of `.labels()` on the wrapper classes.** For the five call sites that pass `engine` directly (kwarg or positional, int or str), `_RelabelMixin.labels()` translates the engine value back to `(stage, replica)` via a process-level `_ENGINE_INDEX_MAP` populated by `OmniPrometheusStatLogger.__init__`. This handles `gauge_engine_sleep_state.labels(engine=idx, ...)`, `counter_request_success_base.labels(model_name, str(idx), str(reason))`, `info_gauge.labels(**metrics_info)`, etc.
+
+The three sub-helpers that upstream `PrometheusStatLogger.__init__` constructs (`spec_decoding_prom` / `kv_connector_prom` / `perf_metrics_prom`) use their own `_counter_cls` / `_gauge_cls` / `_histogram_cls` slots and would otherwise build families with the raw 2-element labelnames. `_OmniPerfMetricsProm` / `_OmniSpecDecodingProm` / `_OmniKVConnectorProm` subclass each helper to route the same relabel mixin through their internal family construction.
+
+The `Orchestrator` constructs `stage_replica_map` from the static `stage_pools` configuration at startup:
+
+```python
+stage_replica_map = {
+    flat_idx: (str(stage_id), str(replica_id))
+    for flat_idx, (stage_id, replica_id) in enumerate(
+        (s, r)
+        for s, pool in enumerate(stage_pools)
+        for r in range(pool.num_replicas)
+    )
+}
+```
+
+A reverse map `(stage_id, replica_id) -> flat_idx` is maintained on the Orchestrator so the per-replica `record(engine_idx=...)` call site can look up the right flat index.
+
+> Dynamic add/remove of replicas at runtime is intentionally out of scope — the upstream `PrometheusStatLogger` materializes per-engine_idx child metrics at init time, and supporting hot-add would require non-trivial intervention into upstream's per-family child dictionaries.
+
+## Gating: `--log-stats`
+
+All metrics — both the 15 `vllm:omni_*` families and the ~65 upstream `vllm:*` wrap families — are gated by the user's `--log-stats` CLI flag (default off). The flag is plumbed from `OmniBase.__init__(log_stats=...)` through `AsyncOmniEngine` to the stage-spawn helpers and to the three Prometheus metric classes (`OmniPrometheusMetrics` / `OmniModalityMetrics` / `OmniTransferMetrics`), and is forwarded to `Orchestrator._init_metrics_state(...)`.
+
+Behavior with `--log-stats=off` (default):
+
+- The three `Omni*Metrics` classes register their module-level Gauge / Counter / Histogram families at import time (prometheus_client requires up-front registration), but each `observe / inc / set` method early-returns. The per-label child series for `vllm:omni_*` stay materialized but never have data written to them.
+- `OmniPrometheusStatLogger` is not constructed in `_init_metrics_state`, so the ~65 upstream `vllm:*` wrap families are not registered in the default registry at all.
+- The engine core's `Scheduler.make_stats()` also short-circuits inside upstream (`if not self.log_stats: return None`), so no `SchedulerStats` is produced per step — the per-iteration cost is bounded by the existing upstream gate.
+
+Behavior with `--log-stats=on`: all metric paths fire normally; the orchestrator's per-replica recording is bounded only by `OmniSchedulerMixin.make_stats()`'s per-scheduler 1 Hz throttle (see next section).
+
+The overhead with the flag on is small enough that an A/B benchmark on Qwen3-Omni-30B single replica (30 sequential audio requests) showed a mean latency delta of +0.6% (Welch's t = 0.318, n=30, not statistically significant at α=0.05); the `/metrics` line count drops from 1358 to 124 lines when the flag is off.
+
+## Throttling: `make_stats()` Override
+
+Upstream vLLM's `Scheduler.make_stats()` runs on every AR generation step, returning a SchedulerStats object for the orchestrator. Under vLLM's architecture, this is fine. But since vLLM-Omni requires that the object be serialized and transferred over ZMQ, receiving a SchedulerStats object on every step can introduce unacceptable overhead to the system.
+
+`OmniSchedulerMixin.make_stats()` (in `vllm_omni/core/sched/omni_scheduler_mixin.py`) throttles stats emission to at most once per second **per scheduler** — i.e. per `(stage, replica)` since each replica owns its own scheduler instance. Between intervals it returns `None`, which the engine core skips serializing. This keeps gauges fresh enough for Prometheus scrapes (typically 15-30s intervals) while eliminating the per-step overhead.
+
+The orchestrator side does not add its own throttle on top: the per-replica recording loop gates only on `raw_outputs.scheduler_stats is not None` (i.e. this replica's scheduler passed its own 1 Hz gate). A previous global `_last_stats_ts` on the orchestrator was removed because it starved every replica other than the first to emit within each second.

+## Metric Definitions
+
+### Pipeline (4)
+
+| Metric | Type | Labels | Description |
+|--------|------|--------|-------------|
+| `vllm:omni_num_requests_running` | Gauge | `model_name` | Requests currently executing across all stages |
+| `vllm:omni_num_requests_waiting` | Gauge | `model_name` | Requests queued but not yet scheduled |
+| `vllm:omni_requests_success_total` | Counter | `model_name`, `finished_reason` | Total requests by completion reason ({stop, length, abort, ...}); aborts cover client-disconnect / cancellation paths in addition to upstream `FinishReason.ABORT` |
+| `vllm:omni_e2e_request_latency_s` | Histogram | `model_name` | Pipeline-global end-to-end latency in seconds |
+
+### Audio (7)
+
+Labels: `{model_name, stage, replica}` plus the listed extra label.
+
+| Metric | Type | Extra label | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|-------------|
+| `vllm:omni_audio_ttfp_s` | Histogram | — | Time from request arrival to first audio packet/frame |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_duration_s` | Histogram | — | Audio content duration (`audio_frames / sample_rate`) |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_rtf` | Histogram | — | Real-time factor `stage_gen_time_s / audio_duration_s` (SLO `< 1`); uses `RTF_BUCKETS` |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_frames_total` | Counter | — | Cumulative audio frames generated |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_underrun_s` | Histogram | — | Per-request worst-case player deficit; `> 0` indicates listener heard silent gaps |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_continuity_ok_total` | Counter | `threshold_ms` | Incremented when the request's worst underrun stayed below `threshold_ms` |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_skipped_requests_total` | Counter | `reason` | Silent-loss counter — code2wav rejected malformed codec input and returned `200 OK` with empty audio |
+
+### Cross-stage transfer (4)
+
+Labels: `{model_name, from_stage, from_replica, to_stage, to_replica}`.
+
+| Metric | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `vllm:omni_transfer_size_bytes` | Histogram | Per-transfer payload size in bytes |
+| `vllm:omni_transfer_tx_s` | Histogram | Sender-side time (serialize + submit to connector) |
+| `vllm:omni_transfer_rx_s` | Histogram | Receiver-side time (recv + deserialize) |
+| `vllm:omni_transfer_in_flight_s` | Histogram | Network in-flight time (TX done → RX recv start) |
+
+### LLM stage-level (wrapped `vllm:*`)
+
+After the wrap, every upstream `vllm:*` family — TTFT, ITL, TPOT, e2e latency, KV cache usage, scheduler running/waiting, request success counts, etc. — carries `{model_name, stage, replica}` labels. For the full upstream catalog see [the vLLM docs](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/main/docs/usage/metrics.md); note that metrics depending on features unsupported in vLLM-Omni (e.g. speculative decoding, LoRA) will not be available.
+
+## Naming Convention
+
+- All time-bearing metrics use the `_s` suffix (values in seconds). Two bucket families are used:
+  - `SECONDS_BUCKETS` (0.05 s – 300 s) for e2e / generation / TTFP style values.
+  - `SECONDS_FAST_BUCKETS` (0.001 s – 60 s) for fine-grained cross-stage transfer and audio-underrun values that need millisecond-level resolution.
+- Counters use the `_total` suffix (auto-appended by `prometheus_client`).
+- Sizes use the `_bytes` suffix.
+- All omni-specific families are prefixed `vllm:omni_`. The upstream `unregister_vllm_metrics()` function is monkey-patched to a scoped version that still strips upstream `vllm:*` collectors (so multi-engine init within one process does not crash on duplicate registration) but preserves anything prefixed `vllm:omni_` / `vllm_omni`.
+
+## Logging vs. Prometheus
+
+`OrchestratorAggregator` (in `vllm_omni/metrics/stats.py`) is the logging-oriented metrics path. It collects detailed per-request, per-stage, and per-transfer statistics and prints formatted tables to the `INFO` log. This is designed for development and debugging — individual request traces, transfer bandwidth, inter-stage timing.
+
+`OmniPrometheusMetrics` / `OmniModalityMetrics` / `OmniTransferMetrics` form the Prometheus-oriented path. They record aggregate counters, gauges, and histograms suitable for time-series monitoring and alerting. Both paths share the same source data (`StageRequestStats`, `TransferEdgeStats`) — `OrchestratorAggregator.record_transfer_tx/rx` in particular calls both the existing accumulator code and the Prometheus emit hook in the same method body. The two consumption models can run simultaneously without coupling.
+
+The separation follows upstream vLLM's pattern of `LoggingStatLogger` vs. `PrometheusStatLogger` — same underlying data, different consumption models.

+# Production Metrics
+
+vLLM-Omni exposes Prometheus metrics via the `/metrics` endpoint on the OpenAI-compatible API server. This page covers the text and audio surface; diffusion / image / video metrics are tracked in a follow-up PR.
+
+```bash
+vllm-omni serve Qwen/Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct --port 8000 --log-stats
+curl http://localhost:8000/metrics
+```
+
+**`--log-stats` is required to populate metric data.** Without the flag, the endpoint still returns `200 OK` but the upstream `vllm:*` wrap is not registered at all, and the 15 `vllm:omni_*` families are registered as placeholders with no data written to them. This keeps the runtime cost essentially zero for deployments that don't need monitoring. With the flag, all ~80 families populate.
+
+## Metric Namespaces
+
+| Prefix | Source | Present when |
+|--------|--------|--------------|
+| `vllm:omni_` | vLLM-Omni orchestrator / audio modality / cross-stage transfer | Pipeline-dependent |
+| `vllm:` | Upstream vLLM engine, wrapped by `OmniPrometheusStatLogger` to expose `{stage, replica}` | Pipeline includes an LLM (AR) stage |
+| `http_` / `process_` | Uvicorn / Python runtime | Always |
+
+## Pipeline-Level Metrics (`vllm:omni_`)
+
+Defined in `vllm_omni/metrics/prometheus.py`. Track request lifecycle across the full multi-stage pipeline.
+
+### Request counts
+
+| Metric | Type | Labels | Description |
+|--------|------|--------|-------------|
+| `vllm:omni_num_requests_running` | Gauge | `model_name` | Pipeline-global in-flight requests (dispatched to engine, not yet finalized) |
+| `vllm:omni_num_requests_waiting` | Gauge | `model_name` | Requests waiting in the Orchestrator queue |
+| `vllm:omni_requests_success_total` | Counter | `model_name`, `finished_reason` | Total requests by completion reason. `finished_reason` ∈ {`stop`, `length`, `abort`, ...} mirroring upstream `vllm:request_success_total`; aborts cover client disconnect / cancellation paths in addition to upstream `FinishReason.ABORT` |
+
+### Latency
+
+| Metric | Type | Labels | Description |
+|--------|------|--------|-------------|
+| `vllm:omni_e2e_request_latency_s` | Histogram | `model_name` | Pipeline-global end-to-end request latency in seconds |
+
+## Audio Modality Metrics (`vllm:omni_`)
+
+Emitted at request finalize, except for `audio_ttfp_s` (streaming-hook at the first audio packet) and `audio_underrun_s` / `audio_continuity_ok_total` (streaming finalize, after the chunk stream is exhausted). All carry `{model_name, stage, replica}` plus the listed extra label.
+
+| Metric | Type | Extra label | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|-------------|
+| `vllm:omni_audio_ttfp_s` | Histogram | — | Time from request arrival to first audio packet/frame |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_duration_s` | Histogram | — | Audio content duration (`audio_frames / sample_rate`) |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_rtf` | Histogram | — | Real-time factor (`stage_gen_time_s / audio_duration_s`); streaming TTS SLO red line `< 1`; uses `RTF_BUCKETS` |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_frames_total` | Counter | — | Cumulative audio frame count; throughput via `rate()` |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_underrun_s` | Histogram | — | Per-request worst-case player deficit; `> 0` indicates listener heard silent gaps |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_continuity_ok_total` | Counter | `threshold_ms` | Incremented when the request's worst underrun stayed below `threshold_ms` |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_skipped_requests_total` | Counter | `reason` | Silent-loss counter — code2wav rejected malformed codec input and returned `200 OK` with empty audio |
+
+The continuity math comes from `vllm_omni/benchmarks/audio_continuity.py::compute_continuity_stats` so the server-side observation aligns with the bench-side definition.
+
+## 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.
+
+| Metric | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `vllm:omni_transfer_size_bytes` | Histogram | Per-transfer payload size in bytes |
+| `vllm:omni_transfer_tx_s` | Histogram | Sender-side time (serialize + submit to connector) |
+| `vllm:omni_transfer_rx_s` | Histogram | Receiver-side time (recv + deserialize) |
+| `vllm:omni_transfer_in_flight_s` | Histogram | Network in-flight time (TX done → RX recv start) |
+
+## vLLM Engine Metrics (`vllm:`)
+
+When the pipeline includes an LLM stage, the upstream vLLM engine exposes its full set of ~37 metric families under the `vllm:` prefix.
+
+vLLM-Omni wraps the upstream `vllm.v1.metrics.loggers.PrometheusStatLogger` with `OmniPrometheusStatLogger` so that the original `engine` single label is reshaped into `stage` + `replica`. Every `vllm:*` family — TTFT, ITL, TPOT, e2e latency, KV cache usage, scheduler running/waiting, request success counts, etc. — therefore gains per-`(stage, replica)` visibility automatically. No omni-side duplicate is needed for the text path.
+
+```text
+# Before wrap:
+vllm:num_requests_running{model_name="...", engine="1"}              3.0
+
+# After wrap:
+vllm:num_requests_running{model_name="...", stage="1", replica="0"}  2.0
+vllm:num_requests_running{model_name="...", stage="1", replica="1"}  1.0
+```
+
+For the full list of upstream metrics, see [the vLLM docs](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/main/docs/usage/metrics.md).
+
+## Metric Availability by Pipeline Type
+
+| Metric group | Multi-stage LLM (Qwen3-Omni) |
+|---|---|
+| `vllm:omni_` request tracking + latency | With `--log-stats` |
+| `vllm:omni_` audio modality | With `--log-stats`, if pipeline has a talker stage |
+| `vllm:omni_` transfer | With `--log-stats`, if pipeline has ≥ 2 stages |
+| `vllm:` engine metrics (per `(stage, replica)`) | With `--log-stats` |
+| `vllm:` MFU metrics | With `--log-stats --enable-mfu-metrics` |
+
+## Naming Convention
+
+- All time-bearing metrics use the `_s` suffix (values in seconds). Buckets are `SECONDS_BUCKETS` for e2e / generation-style values and `SECONDS_FAST_BUCKETS` (1 ms → 60 s) for the fine-grained transfer and audio-underrun values.
+- Counters use the `_total` suffix (auto-appended by `prometheus_client`).
+- Sizes use the `_bytes` suffix.
+- All omni-specific families are prefixed `vllm:omni_`. The upstream `unregister_vllm_metrics()` function is monkey-patched (see `vllm_omni/patch.py`) to a scoped version that still strips upstream `vllm:*` collectors so multi-engine init within one process does not crash on duplicate registration, but preserves anything prefixed `vllm:omni_` / `vllm_omni`.
+- Text and audio first-output use distinct families (`vllm:time_to_first_token_seconds` reused from upstream for text; `vllm:omni_audio_ttfp_s` for audio) rather than a single metric with a `modality` label.

-- Base voice cloning has per-request reference-audio cost; the uniproc default keeps IPC overhead off the critical path. See the executor-backend section above for background.
+- Base voice cloning has uniproc-vs-mp tradeoffs depending on per-request reference audio cost; see the executor-backend section above.
+- With async chunking, Qwen3-TTS Base voice cloning sends the full reference context in the first Code2Wav packet, then caches that prefix on the Code2Wav stage for follow-up chunks in the same request.

+- Under vocoder-bound overload (single-stream `rtf_p99 ≥ 1` at the target concurrency), set `active_stream_window: 2` at the top of the deploy yaml to cap simultaneously active Stage 1 streams.

+### VAE Patch Parallelism
+
+[VAE Patch Parallelism](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/user_guide/diffusion/parallelism/vae_patch_parallel.html) splits Bagel VAE **decode/encode** tiles across multiple GPUs on the **DiT stage**, reducing **per-GPU peak memory during VAE decode**. Use it when high-resolution `text2img` or `img2img` hits VAE OOM or large decode spikes.
+
+**Bagel-specific notes:**
+
+- Implemented in `BagelPipeline` via `DistributedAutoEncoder` (DiT stage only).
+- **Single-stage** is the simplest path: one DiT process with TP + VAE patch parallel.
+- **Two-stage**: enable on **stage 1 (DiT)** only; stage 0 (Thinker) keeps encoder-only `VAEEncoder` and does not use VAE patch parallel.
+- You need a DiT `world_size` ≥ `vae_patch_parallel_size` (typically `tensor_parallel_size=2` on that stage). VAE PP reuses the DiT process group; it is not a standalone second-GPU VAE worker.

+# Then call omni.generate(...) as in end2end.py

+    --deploy-config /path/to/bagel_vae_pp.yaml \
+    --modality text2img \
+    --prompts "A cute cat"
+```
+
+**Startup log checks:**
+
+```text
+INFO ... vae_patch_parallel_size=2 requires vae_use_tiling; automatically enabling it.
+```
+
+| Setting | Role |
+| :------ | :--- |
+| `parallel_config.tensor_parallel_size` | DiT world size / TP (must be ≥ `vae_patch_parallel_size`) |
+| `parallel_config.vae_patch_parallel_size` | Number of ranks for distributed VAE tiles (`1` = off) |
+| `vae_use_tiling` | Enable spatial tiling (auto-enabled when `vae_patch_parallel_size > 1`) |

 #### Hybrid Sharded Data Parallel (HSDP)
 
 For larger Bagel deployments on multiple GPUs, you can enable HSDP (Hybrid Sharded Data Parallel) by modifying the stage configuration (for example, [`bagel.yaml`](../../../vllm_omni/deploy/bagel.yaml)). HSDP shards transformer weights across GPUs to reduce per-GPU memory usage.

+# Lance (ByteDance) — offline inference
+
+[Lance](https://huggingface.co/bytedance-research/Lance) is a 3B unified
+autoregressive + diffusion multimodal model on a Qwen2.5-VL backbone. It is
+**BAGEL-lineage** (ByteDance Mixture-of-Transformers): the released `Lance_3B`
+checkpoint uses the same `*_moe_gen` MoT weight layout as BAGEL, so vLLM-Omni
+implements it by reusing the BAGEL transformer core and specializing only the
+ViT (Qwen2.5-VL vision), the VAE (Wan2.2) and the checkpoint layout.
+
+This example covers all six Lance modalities from the upstream HF model card:
+`t2i`, `t2v`, `image_edit`, `video_edit`, `x2t_image` (image understanding) and
+`x2t_video` (video understanding).
+
+## Hardware
+
+Single NVIDIA GPU with 16 GB+ VRAM in BF16 (we test on B300 / A100). CUDA ≥ 12.4.
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+# Text-to-image
+python examples/offline_inference/lance/end2end.py \
+    --model bytedance-research/Lance \
+    --prompts "a corgi astronaut on the moon, cinematic" \
+    --steps 30 --cfg-text-scale 4.0 --timestep-shift 3.5 \
+    --height 1024 --width 1024 \
+    --output ./out
+
+# Text-to-video (uses the Lance_3B_Video subfolder; see ``--modality``
+# choices for all six task variants)
+python examples/offline_inference/lance/end2end.py \
+    --model bytedance-research/Lance/Lance_3B_Video --modality text2video \
+    --num-frames 25 --video-height 480 --video-width 768 \
+    --prompts "a cat playing piano, cinematic" \
+    --steps 30 --fps 8 --output ./out
+```
+
+`video_edit` requires `--model bytedance-research/Lance/Lance_3B_Video` so
+the 3-D `latent_pos_embed` table is loaded; the other paths can point at
+the top-level `bytedance-research/Lance` repo and resolve the right
+sub-checkpoint automatically.
+
+The HF repo bundles everything (`Lance_3B/`, `Lance_3B_Video/`,
+`Qwen2.5-VL-ViT/`, `Wan2.2_VAE.pth`); no separate downloads are required.
+
+## Defaults
+
+Matches upstream `inference_lance.sh`: 30 denoising steps, timestep-shift 3.5,
+text CFG 4.0, seed 42, 1024×1024 (override with `--height` / `--width`).  For
+the understanding paths (`img2text` / `video2text`), sampling is enabled by
+default at `--text-temperature 0.8` because Lance's greedy decoder emits an
+immediate EOS for many prompts.

 The thinker processes your multimodal input, generates text, then the talker synthesises the response as speech.

+### VAE Patch Parallelism
+
+[VAE Patch Parallelism](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/user_guide/diffusion/parallelism/vae_patch_parallel.html) distributes Bagel VAE **decode/encode** across multiple GPUs by splitting latent tiles. It lowers **per-GPU peak memory during VAE decode**, which helps high-resolution `text2img` / `img2img` when VAE becomes a bottleneck.
+
+**Scope for Bagel:**
+
+| Topology | VAE patch parallel |
+| :------- | :----------------- |
+| **Single-stage** (DiT only) | Supported on stage 0 (`BagelPipeline` + `DistributedAutoEncoder`) |
+| **Two-stage** | Supported on **stage 1 (DiT)** only; stage 0 (Thinker) uses encoder-only VAE and is unrelated |
+
+**Requirements:**
+
+- `vae_patch_parallel_size > 1` and a distributed VAE (`DistributedAutoEncoder` on the DiT pipeline).
+- The DiT process group must have at least `vae_patch_parallel_size` ranks. In practice this means the diffusion stage `world_size` must be ≥ 2 (commonly `tensor_parallel_size=2` on that stage).
+- `vae_use_tiling` must be enabled. If you set `vae_patch_parallel_size > 1` and omit tiling, the registry auto-enables `vae_use_tiling` at startup.
+
+VAE patch parallel **reuses the DiT process group** (`dit_group`); it does not create a separate VAE-only worker pool. It is not a substitute for single-GPU VAE tiling (`vae_pp=1`).
+
+**Online serving (single-stage, 2 GPUs):**
+
+```bash
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 vllm serve ByteDance-Seed/BAGEL-7B-MoT --omni --port 8091 \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/bagel_single_stage.yaml \
+    --tensor-parallel-size 2 \
+    --vae-patch-parallel-size 2 \
+    --vae-use-tiling
+```
+
+**Online serving (two-stage, VAE PP on DiT stage 1):** use a custom deploy YAML, for example:
+
+```yaml
+stages:
+  - stage_id: 0
+    devices: "0"
+    # Thinker (AR) — no VAE patch parallel here
+
+  - stage_id: 1
+    devices: "0,1"
+    vae_use_tiling: true
+    parallel_config:
+      tensor_parallel_size: 2
+      vae_patch_parallel_size: 2
+```
+
+```bash
+vllm serve ByteDance-Seed/BAGEL-7B-MoT --omni --port 8091 \
+    --deploy-config /path/to/bagel_vae_pp.yaml
+```
+
+**Verify it is active** (check server logs at startup):
+
+```text
+INFO ... vae_patch_parallel_size=2 requires vae_use_tiling; automatically enabling it.
+```
+
+| CLI flag | Default | Description |
+| :------- | :------ | :---------- |
+| `--vae-patch-parallel-size` | `1` | Number of DiT ranks used for VAE tile parallelism. Set to `2` or higher to enable. Should be ≤ DiT process group size (typically match `--tensor-parallel-size` on the diffusion stage). |
+| `--vae-use-tiling` | off | Enable VAE spatial tiling. Required for VAE patch parallel (auto-enabled when `vae_patch_parallel_size > 1`). |
+
 #### Hybrid Sharded Data Parallel (HSDP)
 
 For larger Bagel deployments on multiple GPUs, you can enable HSDP (Hybrid Sharded Data Parallel) by modifying the stage configuration (for example, [`bagel.yaml`](../../../vllm_omni/deploy/bagel.yaml)). HSDP shards transformer weights across GPUs to reduce per-GPU memory usage.

+# DreamZero
+
+DreamZero is the robot-policy serving example for the OpenPI-compatible `/v1/realtime/robot/openpi` endpoint.
+
+## Supported checkpoints
+
+| Model | HuggingFace repo |
+|---|---|
+| DreamZero-DROID | `GEAR-Dreams/DreamZero-DROID` |
+
+## Quick start
+
+### Start the server
+
+```bash
+bash examples/online_serving/dreamzero/run_server.sh
+```
+
+By default this launches:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve GEAR-Dreams/DreamZero-DROID --omni --port 8000 \
+    --served-model-name dreamzero-droid \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/dreamzero_tp1_cfg2.yaml \
+    --enforce-eager --disable-log-stats
+```
+
+Override `MODEL`, `PORT`, `HOST`, `DEPLOY_CONFIG`, or `SERVED_MODEL_NAME` through the script environment if needed.
+
+### Install example dependencies
+
+The core `pip install -e .` setup does not include the extra packages used by the DreamZero example scripts.
+
+- `openpi_client.py`:
+  `openpi-client`, `websockets`, `opencv-python`
+- `droid_sim_eval_client.py`:
+  `mediapy`, `websockets`, `openpi-client`
+
+The DROID sim-eval script also needs an Isaac Lab environment that provides `isaaclab`, `isaaclab_tasks`, `sim_evals`, and `gymnasium`.
+
+If you run the DROID client on Python < 3.12, also install `typing-extensions`.
+
+### Configure TP and CFG parallelism
+
+The bundled DreamZero configs intentionally keep only:
+
+| Config | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `vllm_omni/deploy/dreamzero.yaml` | Default TP=1, CFG parallel disabled |
+| `vllm_omni/deploy/dreamzero_tp1_cfg2.yaml` | TP=1, CFG parallel size=2 |
+
+For other topologies, use CLI parallelism flags and update stage 0 `devices` with `--stage-overrides`. The number of listed devices must match `tensor_parallel_size * cfg_parallel_size`.
+
+TP=2 with CFG parallel disabled:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve GEAR-Dreams/DreamZero-DROID --omni --port 8000 \
+    --served-model-name dreamzero-droid \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/dreamzero.yaml \
+    --tensor-parallel-size 2 \
+    --stage-overrides '{"0": {"devices": "0,1"}}' \
+    --enforce-eager --disable-log-stats
+```
+
+TP=2 with CFG parallel size=2:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve GEAR-Dreams/DreamZero-DROID --omni --port 8000 \
+    --served-model-name dreamzero-droid \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/dreamzero.yaml \
+    --tensor-parallel-size 2 \
+    --cfg-parallel-size 2 \
+    --stage-overrides '{"0": {"devices": "0,1,2,3"}}' \
+    --enforce-eager --disable-log-stats
+```
+
+### Download example assets
+
+The OpenPI client and DROID sim-eval example expect the three camera MP4 files in `outputs/dreamzero/assets`.
+
+```bash
+hf download YangshenDeng/vllm-omni-dreamzero-assets --repo-type dataset --local-dir outputs/dreamzero/assets
+```
+
+### Run the OpenPI client
+
+```bash
+python examples/online_serving/dreamzero/openpi_client.py \
+    --host 127.0.0.1 \
+    --port 8000 \
+    --video-dir outputs/dreamzero/assets
+```
+
+This client uses downloaded example videos and talks to the OpenPI websocket server.
+
+### Run DROID sim eval
+
+```bash
+${ISAACLAB_LAUNCHER} -p examples/online_serving/dreamzero/droid_sim_eval_client.py \
+    --host 127.0.0.1 \
+    --port 8000 \
+    --scene 1 \
+    --episodes 1 \
+    --headless \
+    --device cuda:0
+```
+
+Set `ISAACLAB_LAUNCHER=path/to/isaaclab.sh` from the vLLM-Omni repository root before running the command.
+This launches Isaac Lab / sim-evals and runs the DROID benchmark loop against the same websocket endpoint.
+
+### Export comparison videos offline
+
+```bash
+python examples/offline_inference/dreamzero/export_prediction_video.py \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/dreamzero_tp1_cfg2.yaml \
+    --save-input-video \
+    --save-gif
+```
+
+The export script uses local `Omni` inference, not the websocket server. It writes the input rollout video and the predicted output video artifacts for side-by-side inspection.
+
+### MolmoSpace demo
+
+```bash
+python examples/online_serving/dreamzero/molmospace_dreamzero_eval_demo.py \
+    --host 127.0.0.1 \
+    --port 8000 \
+    --benchmark_dir /path/to/benchmark \
+    --output_dir /path/to/output
+```
+
+This demo adapts DreamZero to the MolmoSpace-style remote policy eval loop.

+
+This script is the vLLM/OpenPI adaptation of the upstream DreamZero

+
+Behavior intentionally kept close to upstream:

+
+The default deploy config is the single-stage `lance.yaml`; for `video_edit`
+or `text2video` workloads, point ``DEPLOY_CONFIG`` at a video-checkpoint
+config (or pass ``--model bytedance-research/Lance/Lance_3B_Video`` to
+`run_server.sh`).

+# vLLM-Omni · MiniCPM-o 4.5 Online Demo
+
+Gradio-based web UI for **MiniCPM-o 4.5** served via `vllm-omni`'s
+OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
+
+The UI supports:
+
+- **Inputs**: text prompt + optional image, audio (file or mic), video.
+- **Outputs**: text + speech (WAV player).
+
+## 1. Start the backend server
+
+The deploy config auto-loads via `--omni`; the default
+`vllm_omni/deploy/minicpmo_4_5.yaml` targets a 2-GPU layout (thinker on
+GPU 0, talker + t2w sharing GPU 1).  For other hardware layouts pick
+one of the deploy variants below.
+
+| deploy config | GPUs | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `minicpmo_4_5.yaml` (default) | 2 | Thinker on GPU0, talker+t2w on GPU1. |
+| `minicpmo_4_5_3gpu.yaml` | 3 | Thinker 2-way TP on GPU0/1, talker+t2w share GPU2. |
+| `minicpmo_4_5_8x4090.yaml` | 8 | Full 8x4090 layout. |
+
+Default (2-GPU):
+
+```bash
+vllm serve openbmb/MiniCPM-o-4_5 --omni \
+    --trust-remote-code \
+    --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8099
+```
+
+Other layouts via `--deploy-config`:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve openbmb/MiniCPM-o-4_5 --omni \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/minicpmo_4_5_8x4090.yaml \
+    --trust-remote-code \
+    --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8099
+```
+
+## 2. Launch the Gradio demo
+
+```bash
+bash examples/online_serving/minicpmo/run_gradio_demo.sh
+
+# Or run the python entry point directly:
+python examples/online_serving/minicpmo/gradio_demo.py \
+    --minicpmo45-api-base http://localhost:8099/v1 \
+    --minicpmo45-model openbmb/MiniCPM-o-4_5 \
+    --port 7862
+```
+
+Open `http://<host>:7862` in a browser.
+
+## Notes
+
+- **TTS trigger**: the demo sets
+  `extra_body.chat_template_kwargs.use_tts_template=True`, which appends
+  `<|tts_bos|>` to the assistant prefix.
+- Uncheck **"Generate speech output (TTS)"** to get text-only responses
+  (faster).
+- The audio output is the raw WAV returned by the stage-1 talker +
+  Token2Wav; sample rate is 24 kHz.
+- Video input is forwarded as a base64 `video_url` entry; the server needs
+  decord/torchvision to decode it.

+# Lance
+
+> Unified autoregressive + diffusion multimodal (text / image / video)
+
+## Summary
+
+- Vendor: ByteDance
+- Model: [`bytedance-research/Lance`](https://huggingface.co/bytedance-research/Lance) (`Lance_3B`, `Lance_3B_Video`)
+- Task: text2img, text2video, img2img (image edit), video2video (video edit),
+  img2text (image understanding), video2text (video understanding)
+- Mode: Offline inference, Online serving (OpenAI-compatible API)
+- Maintainer: Community
+
+## When to use this recipe
+
+Use this recipe to run Lance — a 3B unified AR + diffusion multimodal model
+on a Qwen2.5-VL backbone — via vLLM-Omni. Lance is **BAGEL-lineage**: the
+released checkpoint uses the same `*_moe_gen` Mixture-of-Transformers weight
+layout as BAGEL, so vLLM-Omni reuses BAGEL's transformer core and specializes
+only the ViT (Qwen2.5-VL vision), the VAE (Wan2.2) and the checkpoint layout.
+
+All six single-stage modalities are supported on the `Lance_3B` checkpoint;
+`text2video` and `video2video` additionally need `Lance_3B_Video` for the 3-D
+`latent_pos_embed` table. The two-stage AR + DiT topology is deferred and
+needs `LanceConfig` / `LanceProcessor` registered in the `vllm` package (a
+separate upstream PR).

+
+## Hardware Support
+
+## GPU
+
+### 1x NVIDIA B300 / A100 80GB
+
+#### Environment
+
+- OS: Linux
+- Python: 3.12
+- Driver / runtime: CUDA ≥ 12.4
+- vLLM-Omni version: 0.18.x.dev
+
+#### Command — text-to-image (default)
+
+```bash
+python examples/offline_inference/lance/end2end.py \
+    --model bytedance-research/Lance \
+    --prompts "a corgi astronaut on the moon, cinematic" \
+    --steps 30 --cfg-text-scale 4.0 --timestep-shift 3.5 \
+    --height 1024 --width 1024 \
+    --seed 42 --output ./out
+```
+
+Defaults match upstream `inference_lance.sh`: 30 denoising steps,
+`timestep-shift 3.5`, text CFG 4.0, seed 42, 1024×1024.
+
+#### Command — image edit (img2img)
+
+```bash
+python examples/offline_inference/lance/end2end.py \
+    --model bytedance-research/Lance --modality img2img \
+    --image-path /path/to/input.png \
+    --prompts "Convert this into a vibrant cartoon-style illustration" \
+    --steps 30 --cfg-text-scale 4.0 --timestep-shift 3.5 \
+    --output ./out
+```
+
+The Lance-native VAE prefill scatters Wan2.2 latents into the LLM query
+sequence; no separate image encoder is needed.
+
+#### Command — text-to-video
+
+```bash
+python examples/offline_inference/lance/end2end.py \
+    --model bytedance-research/Lance/Lance_3B_Video --modality text2video \
+    --num-frames 25 --video-height 480 --video-width 768 \
+    --prompts "a cat playing piano, cinematic" \
+    --steps 30 --fps 8 --output ./out
+```
+
+Use the `Lance_3B_Video` subfolder for any video path so the 3-D
+`latent_pos_embed` table is loaded; image / understanding paths can point at
+the top-level repo and resolve the right sub-checkpoint automatically.
+
+#### Command — image / video understanding
+
+```bash
+# Image → text (caption / VQA)
+python examples/offline_inference/lance/end2end.py \
+    --model bytedance-research/Lance --modality img2text \
+    --image-path /path/to/photo.jpg \
+    --prompts "Describe this image in detail." \
+    --do-sample --text-temperature 0.8
+
+# Video → text
+python examples/offline_inference/lance/end2end.py \
+    --model bytedance-research/Lance --modality video2text \
+    --video-path /path/to/clip.mp4 \
+    --prompts "What is happening in this video?"
+```
+
+Sampling is enabled by default at `--text-temperature 0.8` for the
+understanding paths because Lance's greedy decoder emits an immediate EOS for
+many prompts.
+
+#### Verification
+
+```bash
+pytest -s -v tests/e2e/online_serving/test_lance.py
+```
+
+#### Notes
+
+- BF16 footprint: ~7 GB LLM + Qwen2.5-VL ViT + Wan2.2 VAE; comfortably fits
+  on a single 16 GB+ GPU for `Lance_3B`.
+- `rope_scaling = {"type": "mrope", "mrope_section": [16, 24, 24]}` is wired
+  through `BagelRotaryEmbedding`. `text2img` uses scalar position ids
+  (BAGEL-equivalent); `img2text` / `video` / edit paths thread per-axis 3-D
+  position ids.
+- `video_edit` quality is more abstract than `text2video` at the same
+  resolution (known position-id offset between VAE-prefill and gen-latent
+  blocks). Functionally correct end-to-end.
+
+## Online Serving
+
+Lance supports all single-stage modalities via the OpenAI-compatible
+`/v1/chat/completions` API.
+
+### Launch
+
+```bash
+bash examples/online_serving/lance/run_server.sh
+# or, with overrides
+MODEL=bytedance-research/Lance \
+DEPLOY_CONFIG=vllm_omni/deploy/lance.yaml \
+PORT=8091 \
+    bash examples/online_serving/lance/run_server.sh
+```
+
+For `text2video` / `video2video`, set
+`MODEL=bytedance-research/Lance/Lance_3B_Video`.
+
+### Send requests
+
+```bash
+# Text-to-image
+python examples/online_serving/lance/openai_chat_client.py \
+    --prompt "A cute corgi astronaut on the moon, cinematic" \
+    --modality text2img --output corgi.png
+
+# Image edit
+python examples/online_serving/lance/openai_chat_client.py \
+    --prompt "Convert this into a vibrant cartoon-style illustration" \
+    --modality img2img --image-url path/to/photo.png \
+    --output edited.png
+
+# Image understanding
+python examples/online_serving/lance/openai_chat_client.py \
+    --prompt "Describe this image" \
+    --modality img2text --image-url photo.jpg
+```
+
+The client is shared with BAGEL — same OpenAI message format, same
+`modalities` / `num_inference_steps` / `seed` / `height` / `width` knobs.

+# GLM-Image for text-to-image and image editing
+
+## Summary
+
+- Vendor: Z.ai
+- Model: `GLM/GLM-Image`
+- Task: Text-to-image (T2I) and image-to-image
+- Mode: Online serving with the OpenAI-compatible API
+- Maintainer: Community
+
+## When to use this recipe
+
+Use this recipe when you want a known-good starting point for serving
+`GLM/GLM-Image` with vLLM-Omni on **two 80 GB NVIDIA A800** GPUs (Ampere-class,
+same default layout as the upstream **2×A100 80GB** example: Stage 0 AR on GPU 0,
+Stage 1 diffusion on GPU 1) and validate the deployment with the existing
+`examples/online_serving/glm_image` clients.
+
+## References

+  [`docs/user_guide/examples/online_serving/glm_image.md`](../../docs/user_guide/examples/online_serving/glm_image.md)
+- Related issue or discussion:
+  [#2888](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/pull/2888)
+
+## Hardware Support
+
+This recipe documents **dual-GPU** CUDA layouts on A800 80 GB
+for the same software stack. Add more platforms (for example ROCm / NPU) as
+community validation lands.
+
+## GPU
+
+### 2× A800 80GB
+
+#### Environment
+
+These versions were taken from a working **editable** install: activate `vllm-omni/.venv` (or your equivalent), then align `pip` / Git with the rows below when reproducing this recipe.
+
+- OS: Linux
+- Python: 3.12
+- Driver / runtime: NVIDIA CUDA stack with **two** A800 80 GB GPUs visible (set `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` on your host if needed)
+- vLLM: **0.19.0**
+- vLLM-Omni: **0.19.0rc2.dev138+g38d5f2d53** (editable install from this repo; Git **`38d5f2d5`**, `git describe` ≈ **`v0.19.0rc1-138-g38d5f2d5`**)
+- Transformers: **5.5.4** (same `.venv` as above; required so `glm_image` configs load for Stage 0)
+
+#### Command
+
+Start the server from the repository root:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve zai-org/GLM-Image --omni --port 8091
+```
+
+To use the bundled stage config explicitly (same default as above):
+
+```bash
+vllm serve zai-org/GLM-Image \
+  --omni \
+  --port 8091 \
+  --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/glm_image.yaml
+```
+
+#### Verification
+
+Run one of the existing example clients after the server is ready:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://172.18.69.133:8000/v1/chat/completions \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "messages": [
+      {"role": "user", "content": "A beautiful landscape painting"}
+    ],
+    "extra_body": {
+      "height": 1920,
+      "width": 1920,
+      "num_inference_steps": 50,
+      "true_cfg_scale": 1.5,
+      "seed": 42
+    }
+  }' | jq -r '.choices[0].message.content[0].image_url.url' | cut -d',' -f2- | base64 -d > land.png
+```
+After the command finishes, check for the output files:
+
+```bash
+ls output.png
+```
+
+#### Sample end-to-end metrics
+
+One representative **offline** GLM-Image E2E run on this recipe’s **2× A800 80GB**.
+Overall summary from the run’s metrics. Rough wall-time split: **Stage 0 (AR)** ~**25 s**,
+**Stage 1 (diffusion)** ~**34 s** (see `e2e_stage_*_wall_time_ms` below).
+
+| Field | Value |
+| --- | ---: |
+| e2e_requests | 1 |
+| e2e_wall_time_ms | 61,148.679 |
+| e2e_total_tokens | 1,300 |
+| e2e_avg_time_per_request_ms | 61,148.679 |
+| e2e_avg_tokens_per_s | 21.260 |
+| e2e_stage_0_wall_time_ms | 24,708.760 |
+| e2e_stage_1_wall_time_ms | 33,787.442 |
+
+#### Notes
+
+- Memory usage: Roughly **~38 GiB + KV** on Stage 0 (AR) and **~20 GiB** on Stage 1 (DiT+VAE) per the user guide; two 80 GB cards match the default split.
+- Key flags: `--omni` is required; `--stage-configs-path` is optional unless you use a custom YAML (for example single-GPU).
+- Keep **Transformers ≥ 5.5.1** (this recipe used **5.5.4**) so `glm_image` configs resolve; otherwise Stage 0 can fail at `ModelConfig` validation.
+- Known limitations: This starter recipe follows the dual-GPU online path documented under `examples/online_serving/glm_image`. The first request may be slower due to warmup.
+- Generation time: about **61 s** wall time end-to-end for the sample above (50 inference steps, 1024×1024).

+# Helios for video generation
+
+## Summary
+
+- Vendor: Helios
+- Model: `BestWishYsh/Helios-Base`, `BestWishYsh/Helios-Mid`, `BestWishYsh/Helios-Distilled`
+- Task: Text-to-video, image-to-video, and video-to-video generation
+- Mode: Offline inference with the bundled Helios example
+- Maintainer: Community
+
+## When to use this recipe
+
+Use this recipe when you want a known-good starting point for running Helios
+video generation with vLLM-Omni. The concrete command below focuses on
+`BestWishYsh/Helios-Base` text-to-video generation on one NVIDIA H20 GPU. The
+same example script also supports Helios-Mid, Helios-Distilled, image-to-video,
+and video-to-video; see the linked example docs for those model-specific flags.

+
+## Hardware Support
+
+## GPU
+
+### 1x NVIDIA H20
+
+#### Environment
+
+- OS: Ubuntu Linux x86_64
+- Python: 3.12.12
+- Driver / runtime: NVIDIA driver `580.126.20`, CUDA `13.0`
+- Hardware: 1x NVIDIA H20 GPU from an 8x H20 host
+- vLLM version: `0.19.0`
+- vLLM-Omni version or commit: `a3903810`
+
+#### Command
+
+Run the baseline Helios-Base text-to-video example from the repository root:
+
+```bash
+cd examples/offline_inference/helios
+
+python end2end.py \
+  --model BestWishYsh/Helios-Base \
+  --sample-type t2v \
+  --prompt "A dynamic time-lapse video showing the rapidly moving scenery from the window of a speeding train." \
+  --guidance-scale 5.0 \
+  --output helios_t2v_base.mp4
+```
+
+To use cache-dit acceleration, run on a vLLM-Omni checkout that includes Helios cache-dit support and enable the cache backend:
+
+```bash
+cd examples/offline_inference/helios
+
+python end2end.py \
+  --cache-backend cache_dit \
+  --enable-cache-dit-summary \
+  --model BestWishYsh/Helios-Base \
+  --sample-type t2v \
+  --prompt "A dynamic time-lapse video showing the rapidly moving scenery from the window of a speeding train." \
+  --guidance-scale 5.0 \
+  --output helios_t2v_base.mp4
+```
+
+#### Verification
+
+The script should print the resolved generation configuration, total generation
+time, and output path. A successful run ends with output similar to:
+
+```text
+Total generation time: <seconds> seconds (<milliseconds> ms)
+Saved generated video to helios_t2v_base.mp4
+```
+
+#### Important flags and stage configs
+
+- `--model BestWishYsh/Helios-Base` selects the base Helios checkpoint used by
+  this recipe.
+- `--sample-type t2v` selects text-to-video generation. Use `i2v` with
+  `--image-path` for image-to-video, or `v2v` with `--video-path` for
+  video-to-video.
+- `--guidance-scale 5.0` matches the Helios-Base recommendation. Use
+  `--guidance-scale 1.0` for Helios-Distilled.
+- `--cache-backend cache_dit` enables the cache-dit acceleration path.
+- `--enable-cache-dit-summary` prints cache-dit summary information after
+  diffusion forward passes.
+- No separate stage config is required for this offline recipe; the bundled
+  Helios example configures the pipeline through `end2end.py` arguments.
+- For Helios-Mid, add `--is-enable-stage2`,
+  `--pyramid-num-inference-steps-list 20 20 20`, `--use-cfg-zero-star`,
+  `--use-zero-init`, and `--zero-steps 1`.
+- For Helios-Distilled, add `--is-enable-stage2`,
+  `--pyramid-num-inference-steps-list 2 2 2`, and
+  `--is-amplify-first-chunk`.
+
+#### Known limitations
+
+- Helios generates video in 33-frame chunks. For best performance, set
+  `--num-frames` to a multiple of `33`; non-multiple values are rounded up to
+  the nearest multiple of `33`.

+
+## When to use this recipe
+
+Use this recipe as a known-good starting point for serving
+`openbmb/MiniCPM-o-4_5` on vLLM-Omni. MiniCPM-o 4.5 is the omni member
+of the MiniCPM-o family — it pairs a multimodal-understanding thinker
+LLM with a streaming `MiniCPMTTS + Token2Wav` talker so a single
+`/v1/chat/completions` call can return text and 24 kHz speech in one
+shot. The recipe covers three shipped GPU layouts (2 / 3 / 8 GPUs)
+selected via `--deploy-config`.

+## Hardware Support
+
+Three GPU layouts ship with default deploy configs. Pick the layout that
+matches your hardware and pass it via `--deploy-config`; the talker
+(`MiniCPMTTS + Token2Wav`) always lives on its own GPU because of the
+in-process vocoder, and the thinker is the part that scales out via TP.
+
+| Layout | Thinker | Talker + Token2Wav | Typical hardware |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| 2-GPU (default) | GPU 0 | GPU 1 | 2x A100/H100/H200 80GB |
+| 3-GPU (thinker TP=2) | GPU 0,1 (TP=2) | GPU 2 | 3x mid-tier GPUs |
+| 8x RTX 4090 24GB | GPU 0–3 (TP=4) | GPU 4 | 8x RTX 4090 consumer |
+
+## GPU
+
+### 2 x GPU (default — single command)
+
+The default
+[`vllm_omni/deploy/minicpmo_4_5.yaml`](../../vllm_omni/deploy/minicpmo_4_5.yaml)
+puts the thinker on GPU 0 (`~70 %` memory, `enforce_eager: true`,
+`max_num_seqs: 1`) and the talker + Token2Wav vocoder on GPU 1
+(`~75 %` memory). This is the recommended starting layout — works on
+any pair of 80GB-class GPUs (A100, H100, H200) and on most 40GB+
+pairs as long as the thinker model weights fit.
+
+#### Environment
+
+- OS: Linux
+- Python: 3.10+
+- vLLM / vLLM-Omni: >= 0.21.0 (or current `main`)
+- Optional Talker dep: `stepaudio2-minicpmo` (see Notes for why this is
+  required and how to install it)
+
+#### Command
+
+```bash
+vllm serve openbmb/MiniCPM-o-4_5 --omni \
+    --trust-remote-code \
+    --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8099
+```
+
+The deploy config is auto-loaded by the model registry — no
+`--deploy-config` flag needed for this default 2-GPU layout.
+
+#### Verification
+
+**Quick smoke test (text-only output)**:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8099/v1/chat/completions \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d '{
+        "model": "openbmb/MiniCPM-o-4_5",
+        "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Briefly introduce yourself."}],
+        "modalities": ["text"]
+    }'
+```
+
+**Text + speech in one response** (the headline 4.5 feature). The TTS
+path is gated by a Jinja flag on the chat template, passed through
+`extra_body.chat_template_kwargs.use_tts_template=true`:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8099/v1/chat/completions \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d '{
+        "model": "openbmb/MiniCPM-o-4_5",
+        "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say hello, then introduce vLLM in one sentence."}],
+        "modalities": ["text", "audio"],
+        "extra_body": {"chat_template_kwargs": {"use_tts_template": true}}
+    }'
+```
+
+Response carries text in `choices[0].message.content` and base64 WAV
+in `choices[0].message.audio.data` (24 kHz mono, see Notes).
+
+**Gradio demo (text + image + audio + video UI)**:
+
+```bash
+bash examples/online_serving/minicpmo/run_gradio_demo.sh
+# or run the python entry point directly:
+python examples/online_serving/minicpmo/gradio_demo.py \
+    --minicpmo45-api-base http://localhost:8099/v1 \
+    --minicpmo45-model openbmb/MiniCPM-o-4_5 \
+    --port 7862
+```
+
+Open `http://<host>:7862` and try a text prompt with the **"Generate
+speech output (TTS)"** checkbox on / off.
+
+#### Notes
+
+- Memory budget: thinker weights occupy GPU 0 at `gpu_memory_utilization:
+  0.7`; talker + Token2Wav vocoder share GPU 1 at `0.75`.
+- `--trust-remote-code` is required — the HF repo ships a custom
+  `MiniCPMO` config / model class.
+- Pin: `enforce_eager: true` on both stages (CUDA graph capture is off
+  by design for the talker's Token2Wav path).
+- Stage 1 (talker) is hard-capped to `max_num_seqs: 1`: the talker
+  only consumes `runtime_additional_information[0]`, so any value > 1
+  makes concurrent requests share request-0's audio. This is the same
+  cap baked into the deploy config.
+
+### 3 x GPU (thinker TP=2)
+
+Use
+[`vllm_omni/deploy/minicpmo_4_5_3gpu.yaml`](../../vllm_omni/deploy/minicpmo_4_5_3gpu.yaml)
+when you have a third GPU available and want the thinker on 2-way
+tensor parallel for higher throughput; the talker stays on its own
+GPU (talker has its own in-process Token2Wav vocoder, so co-locating
+it with the thinker risks OOM under load).
+
+#### Command
+
+```bash
+vllm serve openbmb/MiniCPM-o-4_5 --omni \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/minicpmo_4_5_3gpu.yaml \
+    --trust-remote-code \
+    --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8099
+```
+
+Verification and Notes mirror the 2-GPU section; thinker latency
+roughly halves under load thanks to TP=2.
+
+### 8 x RTX 4090 24GB (consumer-GPU layout)
+
+Use
+[`vllm_omni/deploy/minicpmo_4_5_8x4090.yaml`](../../vllm_omni/deploy/minicpmo_4_5_8x4090.yaml)
+on an 8x RTX 4090 host. Thinker uses 4-way TP across GPUs 0–3
+(`~85 %` mem each ≈ 20.4 GiB/card), talker + Token2Wav lives on GPU 4
+(`~90 %` mem). GPUs 5–7 are left free.
+
+#### Command
+
+```bash
+vllm serve openbmb/MiniCPM-o-4_5 --omni \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/minicpmo_4_5_8x4090.yaml \
+    --trust-remote-code \
+    --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8099
+```
+
+#### Notes
+
+- `max_model_len` is capped at 4096 in this layout — 8192 still OOMs on
+  4090s. Raise it if your cards have more headroom (e.g. 4090 D /
+  custom 32 GB SKUs), but verify with a long-prompt run before
+  promoting.
+- All other knobs match the 2-GPU section; the only difference is the
+  per-card memory pressure on the thinker shards.
+
+## Notes (applies to all layouts)
+
+- **Talker dependency**: the `MiniCPM-o 4.5` talker calls
+  `from stepaudio2 import Token2wav` against the MiniCPM-o-flavored
+  vocoder (PyPI package `stepaudio2-minicpmo` — NOT the upstream
+  `stepfun-ai/Step-Audio2`, whose `Token2wav.__init__` signature
+  rejects `n_timesteps`). Install via the published extra:
+
+  ```bash
+  pip install 'vllm-omni[minicpmo]'
+  ```
+
+  Equivalent direct install: `pip install stepaudio2-minicpmo`. A
+  missing dep raises `ImportError` at first request with the same
+  install hint instead of silently emitting empty audio.
+
+- **TTS trigger**: speech output is only emitted when the client passes
+  `extra_body.chat_template_kwargs.use_tts_template=true`. Without it,
+  the response is text-only (which is also faster).
+
+- **Output audio**: 24 kHz mono WAV inside the OpenAI-style
+  `message.audio.data` (base64). The Gradio demo's WAV player decodes
+  this automatically.
+
+- **Routing**: MiniCPM-o 4.5 and 2.6 both ship `architectures=
+  ["MiniCPMO"]` in HF config; routing is disambiguated by
+  `hf_config.version == "4.5"` via the
+  `hf_config_predicate` on the 4.5 pipeline. A 2.6 checkpoint loaded
+  with this recipe's `--deploy-config` will be rejected at startup
+  rather than silently misrouted.
+
+- **Async chunking**: disabled in all three deploy configs
+  (`async_chunk: false`) — the talker batches a single full thinker
+  output, not chunks.

+# VoxCPM2
+
+> Online + offline TTS with native AR pipeline (48 kHz, 30+ languages)
+
+## Summary
+
+- Vendor: OpenBMB
+- Model: `openbmb/VoxCPM2`
+- Task: Text-to-speech (zero-shot synthesis and reference-audio voice cloning)
+- Mode: Online serving via the OpenAI-compatible `/v1/audio/speech` API, plus
+  an offline end-to-end example
+- Maintainer: Community
+
+## When to use this recipe
+
+Use this recipe as a known-good starting point for serving `openbmb/VoxCPM2`
+on vLLM-Omni on consumer-class GPUs. VoxCPM2 is a 2B-parameter native AR
+TTS model that emits 48 kHz mono audio and supports 30+ languages out of
+the box. It runs as a single-stage pipeline (`MiniCPM4 base LM → FSQ →
+MiniCPM4 residual LM → LocDiT CFM solver → AudioVAE`) and supports both
+zero-shot synthesis and reference-audio voice cloning, with optional
+gapless streaming via the bundled Gradio AudioWorklet demo.
+
+Because the model is only 2B params, a single 24 GB consumer GPU is
+sufficient — no tensor parallelism is required.

+## Hardware Support
+
+This recipe documents one tested 24 GB consumer-GPU configuration.
+Larger-VRAM (H20 / H100 / A100) and other vendor sections (ROCm, NPU) are
+welcome as community validation lands.
+
+## GPU
+
+### 1 x RTX 4090 24GB (Single GPU, Minimum Recommended)
+
+VoxCPM2 (2B params in bfloat16) fits comfortably on a single 24 GB GPU.
+The bundled default config at
+[`vllm_omni/deploy/voxcpm2.yaml`](../../vllm_omni/deploy/voxcpm2.yaml)
+(`gpu_memory_utilization: 0.9`, `max_num_seqs: 4`, `enforce_eager: true`)
+loads cleanly on a 4090 with ~4.9 GiB for model weights, ~15.2 GiB for
+KV cache, and ~2 GiB for the talker's CUDA-Graph / CFM / VAE buffers,
+for a total resident footprint of about **22 GiB / 24 GiB** in steady
+state.
+
+#### Environment
+
+- OS: Linux (Ubuntu 22.04)
+- Python: 3.12
+- Driver / runtime: NVIDIA driver 575.57.08, CUDA 12.9 runtime
+- torch: 2.11.0+cu128
+- vLLM: 0.21.0
+- vLLM-Omni: 0.20.1.dev (current `main`)
+- Native VoxCPM2 source: `voxcpm` >= 2.0
+
+#### Command
+
+Start the server from the repository root. On a clean 4090 with no other
+tenant on the GPU, the defaults from `voxcpm2.yaml` work as-is:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve openbmb/VoxCPM2 --omni \
+    --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
+```
+
+The deploy config at
+[`vllm_omni/deploy/voxcpm2.yaml`](../../vllm_omni/deploy/voxcpm2.yaml)
+is loaded automatically by the model registry (HF `model_type=voxcpm2`).
+Pass `--deploy-config <path>` to override.
+
+#### Verification
+
+**Server cold-start**: ~60 s from `vllm serve` to `Application startup
+complete` (subprocess fork + vLLM 0.21 init + model load + flashinfer JIT
++ torch.compile of LocDiT / feat_encoder / AudioVAE + CUDA-Graph warmup).
+The first request after startup pays a small additional cost; steady-state
+requests are much faster.
+
+**T1 — zero-shot synthesis (curl, WAV)**:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/audio/speech \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d '{
+        "model": "voxcpm2",
+        "input": "Hello, this is VoxCPM2 served by vLLM-Omni on a single RTX 4090.",
+        "voice": "default",
+        "response_format": "wav"
+    }' --output output.wav
+```
+
+Observed: `output.wav` 491 KB, 5.12 s @ 48 kHz mono, peak amplitude 0.996.
+Server-to-client wall time: 2.6 s (server-side RTF ~0.5 after warmup).
+
+**T2 — bundled Python client (zero-shot)**:
+
+```bash
+python examples/online_serving/text_to_speech/voxcpm2/openai_speech_client.py \
+    --text "This audio was generated by the bundled openai_speech_client.py script against a vLLM-Omni server." \
+    --api-base http://127.0.0.1:8000 \
+    --output output.wav
+```
+
+Observed: `output.wav` 968 KB, 10.08 s @ 48 kHz mono, peak amplitude 0.949.
+
+**T3 — voice cloning from a reference WAV**:
+
+```bash
+python examples/online_serving/text_to_speech/voxcpm2/openai_speech_client.py \
+    --text "This should sound like the reference speaker, but saying a different sentence on a single RTX 4090." \
+    --ref-audio /path/to/reference.wav \
+    --api-base http://127.0.0.1:8000 \
+    --output cloned.wav
+```
+
+Observed (using the T2 output `output.wav` as `--ref-audio`):
+`cloned.wav` 568 KB, 5.92 s @ 48 kHz mono, peak amplitude 0.990;
+end-to-end wall time 3.16 s.
+
+`--ref-audio` accepts local file paths (auto-base64), HTTP/HTTPS URLs, or
+`data:audio/wav;base64,...` data URIs. The `voice` field is required by
+the OpenAI schema but ignored by VoxCPM2 unless it refers to an
+uploaded voice — voice cloning is driven entirely by `ref_audio`.
+
+**T4 — streaming PCM (raw, 48 kHz s16le)**:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/audio/speech \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d '{
+        "model": "voxcpm2",
+        "input": "Streaming PCM test on a single RTX 4090 with VoxCPM2.",
+        "voice": "default",
+        "stream": true,
+        "response_format": "pcm"
+    }' --no-buffer | play -t raw -r 48000 -e signed -b 16 -c 1 -
+```
+
+Observed: 230400 int16 samples = 4.80 s of PCM at 48 kHz, peak 32525 /
+32767 (~99 % full scale). The player sample rate is **48 kHz**, not
+24 kHz.
+
+**T5 — gapless streaming (Gradio AudioWorklet demo)**:
+
+```bash
+python examples/online_serving/text_to_speech/voxcpm2/gradio_demo.py \
+    --api-base http://127.0.0.1:8000
+```
+
+Observed: the demo binds to `http://0.0.0.0:7860` in ~4 s after launch.
+The UI ("VoxCPM2 Streaming Demo") exposes three modes — **Voice Design**
+(control instruction only), **Controllable Cloning** (ref audio +
+optional style control), and **Ultimate Cloning** (ref audio +
+transcript for audio continuation) — plus a `Stream (gapless)`
+checkbox (default on) that drives the AudioWorklet streaming path. The
+right pane includes runnable example prompts and a `Ready` status
+indicator. End-to-end browser playback through `Generate Speech` was
+verified working on the same vLLM-Omni server backing T1–T4 above.
+
+**T6 — offline inference (no server, single process per request)**:
+
+```bash
+python examples/offline_inference/text_to_speech/voxcpm2/end2end.py \
+    --text "Hello, this is VoxCPM2 native AR synthesis running on vLLM-Omni and a single RTX 4090." \
+    --output-dir output_audio
+```
+
+`end2end.py` is a one-shot script (init → one `generate()` → exit), so
+its reported RTF includes per-process compile + CUDA-Graph capture +
+first-request runtime warmup. Note that the default `voxcpm2.yaml` sets
+`enforce_eager: true`, so vLLM's engine-level CUDA graphs are off by
+design; the "CUDA-Graph capture" referenced throughout this recipe is the
+talker's own `_CapturedGraph` over the CFM solver / AudioVAE, not the LM
+decode loop. Flipping `enforce_eager=false` does **not** remove this cost.
+To separate the warmup cost from the
+talker's true per-step throughput, the table below reports **5
+consecutive `engine.generate([prompt])` calls in the same process**
+after a one-off ~28 s engine init:
+
+| call | duration | inference | RTF   | notes                                            |
+| ---- | -------- | --------- | ----- | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| #1   | 6.72 s   | 11.97 s   | 1.782 | cold: torch.compile + CUDA-Graph capture         |
+| #2   | 6.24 s   | 11.43 s   | 1.831 | still runtime warmup                             |
+| #3   | 6.88 s   | 0.82 s    | 0.120 | ⚡ steady-state                                   |
+| #4   | 6.56 s   | 0.78 s    | 0.119 | steady-state                                     |
+| #5   | 5.76 s   | 0.70 s    | 0.121 | steady-state                                     |
+
+**Steady-state RTF (mean of calls #3–#5): 0.120**, i.e. ~8× real-time on
+a single 4090. The high call-#1 / call-#2 numbers are one-time warmup
+costs that **amortise to zero after the second request** — they are not
+the model's per-step throughput.
+
+A literal one-shot `python end2end.py` invocation in a fresh process
+only sees call #1 (~RTF 1.8). For repeated workloads, either reuse the
+same engine across calls (as in the table above) or use the online
+serving path (T1–T5); a long-lived server amortises the warmup across
+all subsequent requests (T1 wall-time RTF was 0.51 with a warm server).
+
+Voice cloning + continuation mode (`ref_audio` + transcript):
+
+```bash
+python examples/offline_inference/text_to_speech/voxcpm2/end2end.py \
+    --text "Hello, this is the offline voice cloning test on a single RTX 4090." \
+    --ref-audio /path/to/reference.wav \
+    --ref-text "Original transcript of the reference audio."
+```
+
+Same 5-call methodology as the zero-shot table, this time with a
+10.08 s reference WAV supplied via `--ref-audio` (and matching
+`--ref-text`):
+
+| call | duration | inference | RTF   | notes                                            |
+| ---- | -------- | --------- | ----- | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| #1   | 5.44 s   | 12.38 s   | 2.276 | cold: compile + CUDA-Graph capture + ref encode  |
+| #2   | 5.12 s   | 2.47 s    | 0.482 | most warmup done                                 |
+| #3   | 5.44 s   | 0.76 s    | 0.139 | ⚡ steady-state                                   |
+| #4   | 4.96 s   | 0.68 s    | 0.137 | steady-state                                     |
+| #5   | 5.28 s   | 0.71 s    | 0.134 | steady-state                                     |
+
+**Steady-state cloning RTF (mean of calls #3–#5): 0.137**, i.e. only
+**+0.017 RTF** above the zero-shot steady-state of 0.120. That delta is
+the per-request `AudioVAE.encode` over the reference clip (~85 ms for a
+10 s ref WAV) plus the ref-continuation prompt build; the AR decode
+steps themselves run at the same per-step rate as zero-shot.
+
+#### Notes
+
+- Prerequisites: `pip install voxcpm soundfile httpx ninja`. `ninja` must be on `PATH` because `flashinfer` JIT-compiles a top-k sampling kernel during the first profile pass (without it, startup dies with `FileNotFoundError: 'ninja'`).
+- Memory usage: ~4.9 GiB model weights + ~15.2 GiB KV cache ≈ 22 GiB / 24 GiB resident with the default `voxcpm2.yaml`. On a shared GPU, pass `--gpu-memory-utilization 0.75` (or lower) if startup fails the free-memory check.
+- Key flags: `--omni` is required. `--trust-remote-code` is not needed — the HF config registers under `model_type=voxcpm2`.
+- Output: 48 kHz mono. When streaming PCM to a player, use `-r 48000`.
+- Cold start: ~60 s server boot + ~25 s first-inference overhead (torch.compile + flashinfer JIT + the talker's own `_CapturedGraph` capture over CFM / AudioVAE — not vLLM engine CUDA graphs, which `enforce_eager: true` disables). Steady-state inference RTF is **~0.12** (~8× real-time on a single 4090; see T6 table for the per-call breakdown); online server requests run at ~RTF 0.5 wall-time (includes HTTP round-trip). Keep the server warm for interactive use.

+# MOSS-TTS
+
+## Summary
+
+- Vendor: OpenMOSS
+- Models: `OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-TTS` (8B), `OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-TTS-v1.5` (8B),
+  `OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-TTS-Realtime` (1.7B), `OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-TTSD-v1.0` (8B),
+  `OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-SoundEffect` (8B), `OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-VoiceGenerator` (1.7B)
+- Task: Text-to-speech synthesis, sound effect generation, zero-shot voice design
+- Mode: Online serving via the OpenAI-compatible `/v1/audio/speech` API; offline inference
+- Maintainer: Community
+
+## When to use this recipe
+
+Use this recipe for 24 kHz multilingual TTS with voice cloning (20 languages including
+Chinese and English). Choose a variant based on your latency and quality requirements:
+
+| Model | Params | Use case |
+|---|---|---|
+| MOSS-TTS | 8B | General TTS, highest quality |
+| MOSS-TTS-v1.5 | 8B | General TTS upgrade of 1.0: 31 languages, steadier cloning, `[pause Xs]` markers (set `language` for best results); same `MossTTSDelay` API |
+| MOSS-TTS-Realtime | 1.7B | Lowest latency (TTFB ~180 ms), streaming-first |
+| MOSS-TTSD-v1.0 | 8B | Multi-turn dialogue TTS |
+| MOSS-SoundEffect | 8B | Sound effect synthesis from text description |
+| MOSS-VoiceGenerator | 1.7B | Zero-shot voice design |
+
+All variants share the same codec (`OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Audio-Tokenizer`, ~7 GB) and
+output 24 kHz mono audio.

+
+##### Environment
+
+- OS: Linux
+- Python: 3.11+
+- CUDA 12.8
+- vLLM-Omni version: see `vllm_omni/__version__.py`
+
+##### Command
+
+```bash
+# The codec is loaded automatically from OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Audio-Tokenizer.
+# Override the path with MOSS_TTS_CODEC_PATH if you have a local copy.
+vllm serve OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-TTS --omni --port 8091
+```
+
+##### Verification
+
+Voice cloning (provide a reference audio clip):
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8091/v1/audio/speech \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d '{
+        "model": "OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-TTS",

+        "response_format": "wav"
+    }' --output output.wav
+```
+
+##### Notes
+
+- Peak GPU memory: ~18 GB for the talker (8B) + ~8 GB for the codec decoder on the same device.
+  Use `gpu_memory_utilization: 0.85` in `moss_tts.yaml` (default).
+- Output: 24 kHz mono WAV.
+- The `MOSS_TTS_CODEC_PATH` environment variable overrides the codec checkpoint location.

+        "response_format": "wav"
+    }' --output thunder.wav
+```
+
+##### Notes
+
+- No `ref_audio` required or accepted for MOSS-SoundEffect.
+- Input field maps to the `ambient_sound` parameter in the upstream processor.
+- Rate: ~12.5 tokens per second; longer descriptions produce longer audio.

+) or adding a `ref_audio` request parameter will fail
+because the public checkpoint does not provide the encoder weights needed to
+convert reference audio into conditioning features. The expected failure is: `RuntimeError: encode_waveforms requires encoder weights which are not available in the open-source checkpoint.`

+# Cosmos3-Nano
+
+> Text-to-image, text-to-video, and image-to-video serving
+
+## Summary
+
+- Vendor: NVIDIA
+- Model: `nvidia/Cosmos3-Nano`
+- Task: Text-to-image (T2I), text-to-video (T2V), and image-to-video (I2V) generation, with optional synchronized audio (video + sound)
+- Mode: Online serving with the OpenAI-compatible image/video APIs, plus offline generation via the `Omni` API
+- Maintainer: Community
+
+## When to use this recipe
+
+Use this recipe to deploy `nvidia/Cosmos3-Nano` for image and video generation.
+A single pipeline class (`Cosmos3OmniDiffusersPipeline`) serves all three modes;
+the mode is selected per request:
+
+- **T2I** — `POST /v1/images/generations` (or a prompt carrying `modalities=["image"]`).
+- **T2V** — `POST /v1/videos/sync` with `num_frames > 1` and no reference image.
+- **I2V** — `POST /v1/videos/sync` with a reference image (`input_reference` file
+  upload, or `image_reference` JSON).
+- **T2VS / I2VS** — add `generate_sound=true` (and optional `sound_duration`) to a
+  T2V/I2V `/v1/videos/sync` request to also generate synchronized audio, muxed into
+  the mp4 as AAC 48 kHz stereo. See the official model card's "Video + Audio" examples.

+
+#### Environment
+
+- OS: Ubuntu 22.04+
+- Python: 3.12+
+- Driver / runtime: NVIDIA CUDA environment
+- vLLM version: match the repository requirements from your current checkout
+- vLLM-Omni version or commit: use the commit you are deploying from
+
+#### Command
+
+Requires the `vllm-omni` package (or the `vllm/vllm-omni:cosmos3` container),
+which provides the `vllm serve … --omni` entrypoint used below.
+
+Safety guardrails are **on by default** (NVIDIA Open Model License). They load
+the **gated** `nvidia/Cosmos-1.0-Guardrail` model, so to keep them on you must:
+
+1. `pip install cosmos-guardrail`
+2. Accept the license at <https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Cosmos-1.0-Guardrail>
+3. Export a token with access: `export HF_TOKEN=hf_...`
+
+Then launch the recommended server:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve nvidia/Cosmos3-Nano \
+  --omni \
+  --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 \
+  --init-timeout 1800
+```
+
+To run **without** guardrails (you are responsible for license compliance),
+add `--no-guardrails` (no token/`cosmos-guardrail` needed). For extra GPUs use
+`--ulysses-degree N` (context parallel) or `--tensor-parallel-size N`;
+`--enable-layerwise-offload` reduces VRAM on smaller GPUs. The pipeline
+auto-resolves from `model_index.json`; pass
+`--model-class-name Cosmos3OmniDiffusersPipeline` to force it explicitly.
+
+#### Verification
+
+Best quality uses the JSON-upsampled prompts from `assets/` (download with
+`hf download nvidia/Cosmos3-Nano assets/ --local-dir Cosmos3-Nano`). Minimal
+self-contained examples:

+  hardware; outputs are not bit-identical across different GPU types.
+- **Supported sizes (per model card):** 256p / 480p / 720p at 16:9, 4:3, 1:1,
+  3:4, 9:16. Defaults: T2I 1024², 50 steps, guidance 7.0; T2V/I2V 1280×720,
+  189 frames, 35 steps, guidance 6.0, `flow_shift=10.0`.
+- **Key flags / params:** `--no-guardrails` (server) or
+  `extra_params={"guardrails":false}` (per request) toggles safety. The
+  per-request flag only takes effect when the server was launched **with**
+  guardrails enabled (it cannot re-enable them on a `--no-guardrails` server).
+  `use_resolution_template` / `use_duration_template` are off by default and only
+  needed when not using upsampled prompts that already encode resolution/duration.
+- **Known limitations:**
+  - Guardrails-on requires `cosmos-guardrail` **and** access to the gated
+    `nvidia/Cosmos-1.0-Guardrail` repo (accept license + `HF_TOKEN`); otherwise
+    the server fails at pipeline build with a gated-repo / safety-checker error.
+  - A guardrail-blocked prompt currently returns HTTP 500
+    (`"Guardrail blocked prompt"`).
+  - Action (policy / forward- / inverse-dynamics) modalities are not part of
+    this integration yet.

+### 1x GPU (Offline generation)
+
+#### Environment
+
+- OS: Ubuntu 22.04+
+- Python: 3.12+
+- Driver / runtime: NVIDIA CUDA environment
+- vLLM-Omni version or commit: use the commit you are deploying from
+
+#### Command
+
+```python
+# cosmos3_offline.py  —  run with:  python cosmos3_offline.py
+import torch
+from vllm_omni.entrypoints.omni import Omni
+from vllm_omni.inputs.data import OmniDiffusionSamplingParams
+
+
+def main():
+    omni = Omni(
+        model="nvidia/Cosmos3-Nano",
+        model_class_name="Cosmos3OmniDiffusersPipeline",
+        trust_remote_code=True,
+        enforce_eager=True,
+        # Guardrails are disabled here for a quick local run; install
+        # cosmos-guardrail + gated-repo access and drop this to enable them.
+        model_config={"guardrails": False},
+    )
+    gen = torch.Generator(device="cpu").manual_seed(42)
+
+    # Text-to-image (modalities=["image"]). For T2V use modalities=["video"]
+    # plus num_frames/fps; for I2V add multi_modal_data={"image": <PIL.Image>}.
+    outputs = omni.generate(
+        {
+            "prompt": "A photorealistic red sports car at golden hour, cinematic lighting.",
+            "negative_prompt": "blurry, distorted, low quality",
+            "modalities": ["image"],
+        },
+        OmniDiffusionSamplingParams(
+            height=1024, width=1024, generator=gen,
+            guidance_scale=7.0, num_inference_steps=50, num_outputs_per_prompt=1,
+        ),
+    )
+    outputs[0].request_output.images[0].save("cosmos3_t2i.png")
+    omni.close()
+
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    main()
+```
+
+#### Verification
+
+```bash
+python cosmos3_offline.py
+python -c "from PIL import Image; im=Image.open('cosmos3_t2i.png'); print('image', im.size, im.mode)"
+```
+
+#### Notes
+
+- Same `Cosmos3OmniDiffusersPipeline` as online; mode is chosen by
+  `prompt["modalities"]` (`["image"]` → T2I, `["video"]` → T2V) plus
+  `num_frames`/`fps`, and `multi_modal_data={"image": ...}` for I2V. For video,
+  frames are returned in `outputs[0].request_output.images` as an
+  `(B, F, H, W, 3)` array.
+- The offline entry must be guarded by `if __name__ == "__main__":` — the engine
+  spawns workers with the `spawn` start method.
