Pushing the speed-cost frontier for Qwen3-TTS: sub-50 ms time to first audio

Nari Labs describes five inference optimizations applied to Qwen3-TTS on a single NVIDIA H100 SXM, reaching 10 requests per second and sub-50 ms p95 time to first audio. Throughput is about 630 characters per second at full load, at roughly $2 per 1 million characters. The post benchmarks the result against vLLM-Omni, SGLang-Omni, and VoxServe, and against the commercial services ElevenLabs and Cartesia, claiming lower latency at higher request volumes.

Show HN: I Trained a 125M Model to Autocomplete Piano On-Device

A 125-million-parameter decoder-only transformer was trained to autocomplete piano melodies in real time, reaching 108 note predictions per second on an iPhone 15. The key design choice was a unified note token format encoding pitch, timing, duration, and velocity together, so the model advances by complete notes rather than individual attributes. Post-training with Direct Preference Optimization using Gemini-based pairwise evaluation boosted preference scores from 24.5% to 69%, and the model powers the RollTab iOS app.
