Where it runs Each build is tuned for one part. plowrt runs it beyond that.

Runs as-is on H100 NVL, H200 SXM
Elsewhere plowrt still runs the model on other NVIDIA, AMD and Apple hardware, without this build’s tuning: expect lower throughput.

About

Veena predicts SNAC audio codes with a 3B Llama-architecture LM; the codec is lowered to its own packet (codec.pkt) and travels in the bundle. Speech is served through /v1/audio/speech.

Questions

What hardware does Veena run on?
Tuned builds: NVIDIA H100 SXM5. plowrt also runs them on H100 NVL, H200 SXM.
Does Veena fit on one GPU?
Yes. The sm90a-h100-tp1 build runs on one NVIDIA H100 SXM5.
Can I run Veena on AMD?
Not with a tuned build yet. Today's builds are for NVIDIA.
What context length does Veena support?
The upstream model supports 131,072 tokens. Our builds serve up to 2,048.
What license is Veena under?
Apache-2.0. Check the checkpoint's license on Hugging Face before commercial use.
How do I run Veena?
Install plowrt, then run plowrt load veena --fetch-weights and plowrt serve --model veena --port 8080. It serves an OpenAI-compatible API.
