What We Use
LinguaMic's voice pipeline is an integration of several open-source projects. We have not modified the underlying model weights of any of these projects. Our customizations sit in the prompt-formatting, chunking, tone-preset, and serving layers we wrote on top.

We have not retrained or fine-tuned the Orpheus speech model. The underlying weights are the unmodified canopylabs/orpheus-3b-0.1-ft checkpoint distributed by Canopy Labs.
What we do build on top:
- A FastAPI service that wraps the inference pipeline and exposes our internal API.
- A corrected prompt-formatting layer that adds Canopy's audio-primer tokens that the upstream GGUF client omits.
- A library of tone presets (calm, romantic, storytelling, horror, angry, adventurous, excited, sad, funny) that drive Orpheus's sampling parameters.
- Text sanitization that strips emotion tags not in the Orpheus vocabulary and splits CamelCase brand names so the model pronounces them correctly.
- A chunking layer that splits long input at sentence and clause boundaries while keeping emotion tags inline.
