feat(backend): add magpie-tts-cpp text-to-speech backend - #11115
Merged
Conversation
Add a Go + purego backend wrapping the magpie-tts.cpp ggml port of NVIDIA's
Magpie TTS Multilingual 357M (encoder + autoregressive decoder over NanoCodec
tokens), producing 22.05 kHz mono audio in 5 baked voices (Aria, Jason, John,
Leo, Sofia; case-insensitive names or indices 0-4) across 9+ languages from a
single self-contained GGUF. Mirrors qwen3-tts-cpp / moss-tts-cpp: dlopen the
static-ggml shared library, bind the flat magpie_tts_capi_* C-API via purego
(no local C shim needed, the upstream .so exports it directly), and serve the
gRPC TTS + TTSStream methods behind base.SingleThread (the C context is not
reentrant across synthesize calls).
The backend CMakeLists translates the Makefile's -DGGML_{CUDA,METAL,VULKAN,HIP}
flags into upstream's MAGPIE_GGML_* toggles (upstream FORCE-overwrites the ggml
cache entries from those), pinned to magpie-tts.cpp v0.1.1
(e3f3dd1ebe22b64e7405f93b519f2d1930712568), which statically links ggml into
libmagpie-tts.so (ldd shows only system libs).
Wires the full registration: backend-matrix.yml (CPU amd64/arm64, CUDA 12/13,
Intel SYCL f16/f32, Vulkan amd64/arm64, ROCm, NVIDIA L4T + L4T CUDA 13, and
Darwin metal), backend/index.yaml metas and image entries, the root Makefile
build targets, the changed-backends backend-filter path mapping, the bump_deps
auto-bump matrix, a test-extra per-backend smoke job, the /backends/known
pref-only importer entry, the backend capabilities map (TTS + TTSStream, no
voice cloning), and the README / compatibility-table docs rows.
Verified locally: unit + e2e Ginkgo suites pass against the real q8_0 GGUF
(22.05 kHz mono WAV, RMS > 0.01), a live gRPC LoadModel + TTS round-trip
returns valid non-silent audio, and the pre-commit gates (make lint,
make test-coverage-check) pass, run manually with LOCALAI_TEST_HTTP_PORT
overriding the locally-occupied 9090.

Add the Magpie TTS Multilingual 357M GGUFs from mudler/magpie-tts.cpp-gguf to the model gallery: q8_0 (~624 MB, near-lossless, fastest decode, recommended) with an f16 (~784 MB) variant, both served by the magpie-tts-cpp backend. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Upstream history was rewritten to purge accidentally committed build artifacts; v0.1.1 now resolves to 6f7696cf. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Adds a new TTS backend wrapping magpie-tts.cpp, a C++17/ggml port of NVIDIA's Magpie TTS Multilingual 357M (with its NanoCodec vocoder embedded): 5 voices, 9+ languages, 22.05 kHz mono, one self-contained GGUF, no Python/PyTorch at inference.
backend/go/magpie-tts-cpp/: purego backend (dlopen, flat C ABI,base.SingleThread), TTS + one-shot TTSStream, voice map (Aria/Jason/John/Leo/Sofia or 0-4), language canonicalization, 16-bit WAV outputv0.1.1(6f7696cf), ggml statically linked (ldd shows only libc-family deps), CPU variants fallback/avx/avx2/avx512backend/index.yaml, root Makefile, backend-filter, bump_deps, test-extra smoke job, capabilities (TTS+TTSStream), compatibility table, gallery entries (q8_0 recommended + f16, HF: mudler/magpie-tts.cpp-gguf)Verification
