Orpheus Swiss German LoRA

This model is a fine-tuned LoRA adapter designed to adapt the Orpheus base model for Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesis in Swiss German. It processes text conditioning prompts and generates speech tokens encoded via a 24kHz SNAC codec interleaving layout.

Model Details

Model Description

  • —Developed by: griffing52
  • —Shared by: griffing52
  • —Model type: PEFT Adapter (LoRA) for Causal Language Modeling (Speech/Text generation)
  • —Language(s) (NLP): Swiss German (gsw), German (de)
  • —License: [More Information Needed]
  • —Finetuned from model: canopylabs/3b-de-ft-research_release

Uses

Direct Use

This adapter is intended for Text-to-Speech generation in Swiss German dialects. Speech synthesis is triggered using a formatted prefix prompt layout: voice: transcript.

Out-of-Scope Use

This model is not built for standard text-based conversational modeling, nor will it perform well generating languages or accents far outside German/Swiss German linguistic structures.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

  • —Dialect Consistency: Swiss German features massive lexical and phonetic variance across regions. Dialect spelling inconsistencies in training transcripts heavily influence the resulting prosody and pronunciation quality.
  • —Overtraining Risk: Training beyond 1–2 epochs on small datasets risks degrading prosody and speech naturalness.

How to Get Started with the Model

You can load this adapter on top of the base model using the code below:

python
import torch
from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

BASE_MODEL = "canopylabs/3b-de-ft-research_release"
ADAPTER_ID = "griffing52/orpheus-swiss-german-lora"

dtype = torch.float16 if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.float32

# Load base model and tokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(BASE_MODEL)
base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(BASE_MODEL, torch_dtype=dtype)

if torch.cuda.is_available():
    base_model = base_model.to("cuda")

# Load fine-tuned adapter
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, ADAPTER_ID)
model.eval()

Training Details

Training Data

<!-- This should link to a Dataset Card, perhaps with a short stub of information on what the training data is all about as well as documentation related to data pre-processing or additional filtering. -->

The model was fine-tuned using paired Swiss German audio and transcripts structured in a SpeechT5-style metadata format.

  • —Audio Format: 24kHz mono (WAV/FLAC/MP3) encoded into SNAC tokens.
  • —Target Layout: Tokens packed into the native 7-token interleaved Orpheus speech architecture.

Training Procedure

<!-- This relates heavily to the Technical Specifications. Content here should link to that section when it is relevant to the training procedure. -->

Preprocessing

Transcripts and voice tags were converted into text-conditioning prompts bounded by specialized system tokens (SOHTOKEN, EOTTOKEN, EOHTOKEN). Audio files were resampled to 24,000 Hz, passed through a hubertsiuzdak/snac24khz codec model to extract 3 layers of acoustic features, and flattened into speech sequences.
