# SpeakSpace-Assistant-v1-3B
**Alpha AI (www.alphaai.biz)** fine-tuned `canopylabs/orpheus-3b-0.1-ft` to create **SpeakSpace-Assistant-v1-3B** — an English-only, single-speaker voice assistant model. The fine-tune uses custom voice recordings plus the Elise dataset (~3 hours, single-speaker English speech). Transcripts were augmented with emotion/expression tags like `<sigh>` and `<laughs>`, added as special tokens in the Orpheus tokenizer.
> ⚠️ **Important:** This model is intended for research, prototyping, and internal product demos. Do not use it to impersonate a real person without explicit consent. Review base-model and dataset licenses before commercial use.
---
## TL;DR
* **Base:** `canopylabs/orpheus-3b-0.1-ft` (~3B params).
* **Data:** Custom Alpha AI dataset + `MrDragonFox/Elise` (English, ~3 hours).
* **Objective:** Produce natural, expressive speech with inline emotion cues (`<laughs>`, `<sigh>`).
* **Language:** English only.
* **Repo:** Suggested as `alpha-ai/SpeakSpace-Assistant-v1-3B`.
---
## Intended Use & Limitations
**Intended use:**
- Internal voice assistants and demos.
- Research on expressive TTS and emotion-tag-conditioned speech.
- Applications where transcripts include small expressive markers.
**Limitations:**
- Not multi-speaker or multilingual.
- Quality limited by dataset size (~3 hrs + custom data).
- Requires Orpheus vocoder/decoder to convert tokens to waveform.
- Do not deploy for impersonation without explicit consent.
---
## Model Details
- **Family:** Orpheus 3B (decoder-based speech model).
- **Tokenizer:** Extended with special tokens (`<laughs>`, `<sigh>`).
- **Fine-tuning:** Supervised finetuning on audio–transcript pairs.
- **Output:** Discrete audio tokens; decode with Orpheus vocoder.
---
## Data
**Sources:**
- Alpha AI custom speech dataset.
- [MrDragonFox/Elise](https://huggingface.co/datasets/MrDragonFox/Elise) (~3 hrs English single-speaker).
**Preprocessing:**
- Aligned utterances with transcripts.
- Expression tags inserted inline.
- Special tokens added to tokenizer.
---
## Prompt & Input Format
Model accepts text input with optional inline expressions:
```text
Hello! <laughs> I can help with your schedule today.
```
Workflow: tokenize → generate audio tokens → decode via vocoder.
---
## Training Summary
- **Objective:** Predict audio tokens from transcripts (with expression markers).
- **Loss:** Causal LM loss.
- **Optimizer:** AdamW or AdamW-8bit (please add exact values).
- **Hyperparameters:** Learning rate, batch size, gradient accumulation, seed — *to be filled with actual values*.
---
## Evaluation
Recommended:
- **MOS (Mean Opinion Score):** naturalness & expressiveness.
- **Speaker similarity:** ABX or MOS vs. ground truth.
- **Intelligibility:** WER via ASR.
- **Emotion accuracy:** Human rating of `<laughs>`, `<sigh>` cues.
Add quantitative results when available.
---
## Safety & Responsible Use
- Use only with documented consent for training voices.
- Guard against impersonation risks.
- Consider watermarking or metadata tagging for provenance.
- Do not generalize beyond training speaker’s identity.
---
## License & Attribution
- **Base model:** `canopylabs/orpheus-3b-0.1-ft` (review base license).
- **Dataset:** `MrDragonFox/Elise` (check dataset license).
- **Fine-tune:** Ensure compatibility of licenses.
