Reso-1 is Decibel Labs' first voice model: an expressive, tag-controllable, streaming English TTS. LoRA fine-tune of Orpheus 3B (Llama-3 backbone + SNAC 24 kHz codec).

Research preview — private. Weights derive from experimental training data and are not licensed for redistribution or production use.

Usage

Prompt format: reso: <your text> with inline paralinguistic tags: <laugh> <chuckle> <sigh> <gasp> <whisper> <pause>

python

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

base = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "canopylabs/orpheus-3b-0.1-ft", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base, "decibel-hq/reso1-3b-en")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("decibel-hq/reso1-3b-en")
# sequence format + SNAC decode: 7 audio tokens/frame from id 128266,
# wrapped in [128259] text [128009,128260,128261,128257] audio [128258,128262]

Sampling: temperature 0.6, top_p 0.95, repetition_penalty >= 1.1 (required — lower values cause audio loops). Streaming: decode SNAC frames incrementally (7 tokens = ~85 ms audio); a GGUF build for llama.cpp is at decibel-hq/reso1-3b-en-GGUF.

Training

Data: single-voice expressive English, 7,342 clips / 8.87 h after QC (Whisper-WER + speech-rate + tag-event verification), from a 6-category corpus: phonetic (Arctic/Harvard), prose, text-normalization stress set, multi-turn dialogue prosody, paralinguistic tags, edge cases (decibel-hq/reso-prompts-v1)
LoRA r=64/alpha=64 on all attention+MLP projections, bf16, 3 epochs, lr 2e-4 cosine, effective batch 16, single A100-80GB (~33 min)
Final train loss 3.47; 198-clip diagnostic heldout, 0 degenerate generations

Limitations

Single voice, English only (multilingual Indic line planned on an Orpheus-compatible base)
<whisper>/<pause> are corpus-taught rather than base-native — less robust
Research preview: no safety alignment; disclose synthetic audio; do not impersonate
