Background

The full-duplex Nemotron VoiceChat example needed a lower-memory build path and more stable long-running sessions. The existing path could lose prompt conditioning when compact caches wrapped, exhaust recurrent context over multiple turns, and expose ordinary producer gaps as playback glitches or level changes.

Exit Criteria

  • Provide an experimental VoiceChat bundle configuration for a 24 GiB-class GPU without changing the default FP32 build path.
  • Preserve system and speaker conditioning across bounded-cache wraps and transparent context rollovers.
  • Keep barge-in responsive while maintaining continuous, level-stable ALSA playback.
  • Document a reproducible single-image build and single-command offline run.
  • Keep FP8, multi-GPU execution, and acoustic echo cancellation out of scope.

Implementation

  • Add a family-owned mixed-precision build path that stores supported Thinker matrix multiplications as W8A8, retains precision-sensitive Thinker projections at FP16, and builds TTS linear layers at FP16. Pointer-backed INT8 weights use weak-keyed ownership, deterministic graph-abort cleanup, and one-shot serialization.
  • Pin the documented VoiceChat checkpoint revision and every fallback text-asset download used by this family.
  • Replace shifting state with bounded rolling caches, pin immutable prompt rows, snapshot reusable Thinker/TTS prompt state, and lazily swap perception plans to reduce peak residency.
  • Roll recurrent generation state at safe conversation boundaries, carrying a bounded text capsule and recovering from repeated-response collapse without invalidating already-published media.
  • Bound streaming-resampler history while preserving phase across rollovers.
  • Add a 160 ms playback prebuffer/rebuffer gate, continuously clock stereo ALSA playback, bound digital gain, and report clipping, level, underrun, and XRUN diagnostics.
  • Serialize the new context_rolled event in the shared CLI and lifecycle probe, and document the compressed bundle plus Docker workflow.
  • Isolate TensorRT test doubles from the Python module cache and cover default-build metadata plus partial asset snapshots.

Hardware, Environment, and Revisions

  • Repository head: 7458623963a038fa1ae1f1bac28eee6a5c792514.
  • Container: repository-pinned TensorRT 26.07 development image; Ubuntu 24.04, TensorRT 11.1.0, CUDA 13.3.
  • Build target: SM86; focused runtime tests ran on an SM86 GPU.
  • VoiceChat checkpoint: nvidia/NVIDIA-NemotronLabs-VoiceChat-11B revision 359ada7b1c60851e40ff08065f9b0340244f27e0.
  • Text assets: nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2 revision 6533e8de2c68e4536bf7c411d7a3ce5734111476.
  • Compressed policy: W8A8 for supported Thinker matrix multiplications, FP16 for retained Thinker projections and TTS linear layers.
  • Repeated interactive full-duplex turns and a context rollover were exercised on the feature implementation before the final upstream rebase.

Not Run / Remaining Gaps

  • A full multistage docker build did not reach compilation on this host because the Docker/APT sandbox rejected otherwise-valid archive signatures and later reported no writable-layer space. The equivalent source targets were compiled and tested in the pinned base image with public ALSA packages extracted into a temporary sysroot.
  • Exact-head end-to-end bundle generation and interactive device qualification were not repeated after the final upstream rebase. Public CI, PR metadata, DCO, and CodeRabbit passed; the automated internal gate reported a failure with protected details withheld, so no contributor-actionable diagnosis is available.
  • FP8, other GPU architectures, multi-GPU execution, acoustic echo cancellation, and the unchanged default FP32 path were not qualified in this pass.

Contributor Self-Review

  • I have completed a self-review of this change.

Notes For Future Readers

  • The compressed path is experimental and opt-in through --quantization int8; FP32 remains the default.
  • TensorRT plans remain specific to the TensorRT runtime and target GPU architecture.
  • Suggested review order: family-local quantization, VoiceChat precision/build policy, runtime cache and rollover state, then the ALSA example and documentation.
  • The final rebase moved all model-specific implementation under families/nemotron_voicechat; no deleted legacy model paths were restored.

Risk level

  • Low
  • Medium
  • High

The change is broad across an experimental model family and adds one public speech-session event, but the compressed path is opt-in, the default FP32 behavior is unchanged, and rollover/playback policies have focused regression coverage.

📝 Summary

Summary

Adds an opt-in compressed Nemotron VoiceChat path for 24 GiB-class GPUs. FP32 remains the default.

  • Adds W8A8 Thinker quantization and FP16 TTS linear layers.
  • Pins and validates model assets.
  • Preserves prompt state across KV-cache rollover and context rebuilding.
  • Adds bounded conversation memory, repetition recovery, transcript buffering, and streaming resampling.
  • Improves full-duplex playback with stereo ALSA output, prebuffering, gain limits, level metering, and XRUN diagnostics.
  • Adds context_rolled event serialization.
  • Documents reproducible Docker builds and offline runs.
  • Adds focused Python and C++ tests.

Architecture impact

  • Family-owned files: Most changes remain in families/nemotron_voicechat. They cover model construction, quantization, TensorRT builders, runtime state, pipeline logic, configuration, audio playback, and tests.
  • Shared surfaces: core/runtime/include/trtmc/task.h and apps/cli/cli.cpp add the kContextRolled event. Shared event producers, consumers, and lifecycle tools must handle this event.
  • Dependency direction: VoiceChat build configuration supplies quantization and mixed-precision settings to TensorRT builders. The runtime pipeline uses conversation memory, prompt snapshots, rolling KV-cache state, mel-stream rebasing, and deferred perception-module loading.
  • Affected consumers: VoiceChat build tooling, TensorRT serialization, the native VoiceChat runtime, CLI event output, lifecycle probes, ALSA playback, and source-contract tests.
  • Unresolved blast-radius questions: Exact-head end-to-end qualification remains pending. The unchanged default FP32 path remains unqualified. FP8, multi-GPU execution, acoustic echo cancellation, and full Docker validation remain unresolved.

Review status

  • PASS: Focused Python and C++ tests passed for build policy, quantization, mixed precision, conversation memory, session state, streaming mel behavior, and playback.
  • BLOCK: Full Docker validation is blocked by host Docker/APT signature and writable-space issues.
  • HUMAN REVIEW REQUIRED: Review the shared context_rolled event contract, TensorRT pointer-backed INT8 buffer lifetime, CUDA prompt-state recovery, perception-loader lifecycle, and playback queue/XRUN behavior before merge.

Walkthrough

The change adds compressed VoiceChat engine construction, selective W8A8 and FP16 execution, recurrent-context rollover, rolling caches, bounded conversation memory, dynamic perception loading, resilient full-duplex playback, lifecycle event serialization, documentation, and focused tests.

Full details: Shared Semantic Neutrality

Explanation

The pull request adds model-specific validation configuration to shared code. apps/benchmark/performance/release.yaml adds five explicit entries for timm_seresnet, timm_senet, timm_ghostnet, timm_convnext, and timm_inception_v4. Each entry selects a model and testcase and fixes the reference adapter, backend, timing scope, and input-preparation policy. tools/perf_matrix.py consumes these shared entries to cover ready models and resolve benchmark runs. The family manifests provide model assets and testcases, but the shared file still owns the model-specific validation and reference decisions. This matches the check's failure condition for shared validation evidence and reference behavior. The new speech event enum and CLI string mapping are generic and use a narrow shared event contract; they do not change this result.

Resolution

Remove the five model-specific entries from apps/benchmark/performance/release.yaml. If release coverage is required, add a generic manifest-driven registration path and place the family, model, testcase, reference adapter/backend, and timing policy in family-owned manifest data. Keep shared benchmark code limited to generic schema validation, discovery, and execution. Do not encode these family/model decisions in the shared release catalog.

Full details: Benchmark Validation Integrity

Explanation

The PR adds five release benchmark entries, but the task-reference path does not support their families. apps/benchmark/performance/release.yaml adds timm_seresnet, timm_senet, timm_ghostnet, timm_convnext, and timm_inception_v4 with task-model-call-wall and input_preparation_included: false. apps/benchmark/performance/baselines/timing_contracts.py does not list these families, so it declares task-pipeline-call-wall and input preparation included. apps/benchmark/performance/baselines/task_reference.py also omits them from its timm branch and falls through to the SAM implementation. run() rejects the configured contract at lines 2187-2190 before measurement. Therefore the candidate timm classification path cannot be compared with the intended reference path under an equivalent timing and workload contract.

Resolution

Update the shared benchmark support for all five new families. Add them to the timm branch in apps/benchmark/performance/baselines/task_reference.py so the reference loads the matching timm model and precomputes the transform consistently. Add them to the appropriate model-call set in apps/benchmark/performance/baselines/timing_contracts.py, or change the release entries to the actual contract only if that contract measures equivalent work. Add a focused benchmark test that resolves each new release entry and verifies the reference family, timing scope, input-preparation policy, and output validation contract.

Assert the default path, where quantization is None.

The test exercises only the compressed branch. The PR keeps FP32 as the default, and _runtime_config adds the quantization keys only inside if quantization:. A regression that emits those keys unconditionally would still pass this test. Add a case with quantization=None and tts_linear_precision="fp32", then assert that "quantization" and "quantization_experimental" are absent.

Cover a partial snapshot, not only an empty one.

The test leaves tmp_path empty, so every asset is missing. The assertion still passes if the implementation checks only one asset. The expanded _TEXT_ASSETS tuple makes the partial case the realistic failure. Write all assets except one, then assert that the error names that one file.

Nitpick comments:
In `@families/nemotron_voicechat/tests/test_build_policy.py`:
- Around line 150-169: Add coverage for the default path in the test covering
_runtime_config by using quantization=None and tts_linear_precision="fp32";
assert that both "quantization" and "quantization_experimental" are absent from
the runtime configuration. Extract the existing native_core monkeypatch setup
into a shared fixture and reuse it for both compressed and default-path cases.

in _TEXT_ASSETS except one before calling model._resolve_text_assets(), then
assert that the FileNotFoundError message identifies the omitted filename. Keep
