- Fix is_nvidia_file() to match NVIDIA DLLs in _internal/torch/lib/
(PyInstaller 6.18 + torch 2.10 no longer uses nvidia/ subdirectories)
- Remove deprecated split_binary.py (both archives are under 2GB)
- Update torch_compat range to >=2.6.0,<2.11.0
- Update build docs for new dual-archive packaging flow
Switch CUDA builds from PyInstaller --onefile to --onedir and split the
output into two separately versioned archives:
1. Server core (~200-400MB) — versioned with the app, redownloaded on
every app update
2. CUDA libs (~2GB) — versioned independently (cu126-v1), only
redownloaded when the CUDA toolkit or torch version changes
This eliminates the ~2.4GB full redownload on every version bump.
After initial setup, most app updates only need ~200-400MB.
Closes#297
Enrich tts-engines.mdx with patterns discovered during TADA integration:
- Phase 0.2: new greps for @torch.jit.script, torchaudio.load, gated repos
- Phase 3.4: model naming inconsistency warning
- Phase 5.2: TADA shim failure added to lessons table
- Phase 6: four new workaround sections (gated repos, torchcodec,
torch.jit.script, toxic dependency shim pattern)
- Checklist: four new items matching the new scan patterns
- Remove TADA from upcoming engines (now shipped)
Add CUDA_LIBS_ADDON.md exploring --onedir split to avoid 2.4GB
redownloads on every version bump.
Remove @torch.jit.script from the DAC shim's snake() function —
TorchScript calls inspect.getsource() which fails in PyInstaller
binaries (no .py source files).
Update all user-facing docs: 4 → 5 TTS engines, add TADA row to
every engine comparison table, mark TADA as Shipped in the upcoming
engines list, update architecture diagrams and tech stack tables.
Replace the monkey-patch on AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained (which broke
the classmethod descriptor and caused 'Tokenizer not loaded' errors
when loading Qwen after TADA) with two targeted config patches:
- Set AlignerConfig.tokenizer_name to the local ungated tokenizer path
- Pre-load TadaConfig, inject tokenizer_name, pass config= to from_pretrained
No global state is modified; other engines are unaffected.
torchaudio 2.10+ switched its default audio loading backend to
torchcodec, which isn't installed. Replace torchaudio.load() with
soundfile.read() in create_voice_prompt(). TADA's internal use of
torchaudio.functional.resample() is unaffected (pure PyTorch math,
no torchcodec dependency).
TADA hardcodes 'meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B' as its tokenizer source in
both the Aligner and TadaForCausalLM.from_pretrained(). That repo is
gated and requires accepting Meta's license on HuggingFace.
Monkey-patch AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained during model loading to
redirect Llama tokenizer requests to 'unsloth/Llama-3.2-1B', an
ungated mirror with identical tokenizer files. The patch is scoped
to model loading only and restored immediately after.
The real descript-audio-codec package pulls in descript-audiotools,
which transitively requires onnx, tensorboard, protobuf, matplotlib,
pystoi, and other heavy dependencies. onnx fails to build from source
on macOS due to CMake version incompatibility.
TADA only uses Snake1d (a 7-line PyTorch module) from DAC. This commit
adds a shim in backend/utils/dac_shim.py that registers fake dac.*
modules in sys.modules with just the Snake1d class, completely
eliminating the DAC/audiotools dependency chain.
Integrates HumeAI's TADA (Text-Acoustic Dual Alignment) speech-language
model as a new TTS engine. TADA uses a novel 1:1 token-audio alignment
that produces coherent speech over long sequences (700s+).
Two model variants:
- tada-1b: English-only, ~4GB, built on Llama 3.2 1B
- tada-3b-ml: 10 languages, ~8GB, built on Llama 3.2 3B
Backend uses the Encoder for voice prompt encoding with caching, and
TadaForCausalLM with flow-matching diffusion for generation. Supports
bf16 inference on CUDA, forces CPU on macOS (MPS compatibility).
Installed with --no-deps due to torch>=2.7 pin conflict; descript-audio-codec
and torchaudio added as explicit sub-dependencies.
build.rs now generates voicebox.icns via sips + iconutil alongside the
existing actool Assets.car compilation. On non-macOS, empty stub files
are created so Tauri's resource bundler doesn't fail on missing paths.
Move audio validation and saving to thread pool so librosa/ffmpeg decoding
doesn't block the async event loop. Combine validate + load into a single
pass to avoid decoding the file twice. Add 50 MB upload limit and chunked
reads to prevent unbounded memory allocation.
Closes#278
cu121 only ships kernels up to SM 9.0 (Ada Lovelace). RTX 50-series
(Blackwell, SM 12.0) and RTX 6000 Pro need cu126 which includes SM 12.0
support while remaining backward compatible with older GPUs.
Closes#289
Wrap SSE generators with BrokenPipeError/ConnectionResetError handling
so client disconnects during generation status polling, download progress,
or audio streaming don't produce unhandled Errno 32 errors.
Closes#248
Use refetchQueries instead of invalidateQueries for more reliable history
refresh. Add history refetch to SSE onerror handler so dropped connections
don't leave the list stale. Reset page to 0 in HistoryTable when a pending
generation completes.
Closes#231
Switch WaveSurfer from MediaElement to WebAudio backend to prevent
WKWebView deadlocks that were freezing the entire Tauri app during
audio playback.
Reuse a single WaveSurfer instance across track changes instead of
destroying and recreating on every URL change, which was exhausting
the browser's AudioContext pool.
Other improvements:
- spacebar play/pause with capture phase to prevent history item activation
- drag-to-seek on waveform with silent scrub to avoid WebAudio popping
- slider always mounted to prevent layout shift during track transitions
- play button fills icon, accent bg when playing, loop button accent bg when active
- fix AudioBars animation getting stuck by keying on mode
- remove focus ring on history items
- sync slider position on pause and during seek
- remove title text from player bar
- thicker cursor (3px)
- Rename Server tab to Settings with horizontal sub-tab navigation (General, Generation, GPU, Logs, Changelog)
- All sub-tabs are proper routes under /settings/* with /server redirect for backwards compat
- General: connection settings, link cards (docs + discord), API reference card, app updates
- Generation: auto-chunking, crossfade, normalize, autoplay as SettingRow components
- GPU: info card with platform-aware icons (Apple logo for MPS), CUDA management, explainer text
- Logs: real-time server log viewer piped from Tauri sidecar via event system (Tauri-only)
- Changelog: parsed from CHANGELOG.md at build time via Vite virtual module plugin
- New reusable SettingRow/SettingSection components for consistent settings layout
- New Toggle (switch) UI component replacing checkboxes in settings
- Toast viewport now offsets when audio player is open
- Sidebar stays active on settings sub-routes (fuzzy matching)
- Backfill CHANGELOG.md from all 17 GitHub releases (was stale at v0.1.0)
- Add draft-release-notes and release-bump agent skills
- Extract release notes from CHANGELOG.md in release CI instead of hardcoded placeholder
- Remove stale PATCH_NOTES.md, mlx-test/, move PROJECT_STATUS to docs/notes
- Reorganize API reference docs from unknown/ to named groups
- Update openapi.json
- Backfill CHANGELOG.md from all 17 GitHub releases (was stale at v0.1.0)
- Add draft-release-notes and release-bump agent skills
