Summary

Adds native VoxCPM2 support to Voicebox for local text-to-speech and reference-audio voice cloning.

Related to #633.

Changes

  • Adds a VoxCPM2Backend using the official voxcpm package.
  • Registers VoxCPM2 in the model registry and engine selection UI.
  • Supports ordinary synthesis, reference-audio cloning, controllable delivery instructions, and 30 languages.
  • Uses CUDA when available and falls back to CPU on macOS for predictable local behavior.
  • Adds dependency, PyInstaller, model-management, documentation, and focused test coverage.

Validation

  • Python focused tests passed.
  • Ruff passed for the changed backend and tests.
  • Frontend typecheck and production build passed.
  • CUDA validation passed on Windows 10 with an NVIDIA RTX 5060 Laptop GPU (8 GB VRAM), PyTorch 2.11.0+cu128, and CUDA 12.8.
  • Ordinary English generation, English reference-audio cloning, and Chinese reference-audio cloning all passed.
  • Generated files were verified as mono, 48 kHz PCM WAV audio.
  • Peak observed GPU memory usage was 7796 MiB / 8151 MiB.

The full Windows setup flow encountered unrelated existing dependency issues with LinaCodec and pyopenjtalk. For the runtime validation, the VoxCPM2 dependencies were installed manually and pip check passed. No model weights or credentials are included in this PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added VoxCPM2 as an eighth text-to-speech engine.
    • Supports voice cloning with reference audio and transcript-guided generation.
    • Added instruction controls, cloned-profile compatibility, and support for 30 languages.
    • Added CUDA acceleration with CPU fallback on supported systems.
    • Added VoxCPM2 to generation, model management, voice profiles, and API options.
    • VoxCPM2 produces 48 kHz audio.
  • Documentation

    • Updated product documentation and translations to reflect eight engines and 30 languages.
    • Added setup guidance, model requirements, and VoxCPM2 usage details.

Resolve engine registration, request contracts, shared instruction controls, packaging, and documentation conflicts while preserving OmniVoice and Qwen VoiceDesign.

Add regression coverage for engine capabilities, saved profile defaults, model loading, and OpenAI-compatible requests. Validation: 149 focused Python tests, 2 frontend tests, Ruff, frontend typecheck and production build, and git diff --check pass.
