# GLM-4-Voice-9B (INT4 Quantized)

[中文](README.md) | [English](README_en.md)

## Model Overview
GLM-4-Voice is an end-to-end speech model developed by Zhipu AI. It can directly understand and generate speech in both Chinese and English, facilitating real-time voice conversations. The model can also modify voice attributes such as emotion, tone, speech rate, and dialect based on user instructions. This repository features the INT4 quantized version of GLM-4-Voice-9B. After optimization, the memory requirements are significantly reduced, requiring only 12GB of GPU memory to run smoothly. Testing has shown that this model runs well on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 with 12GB of memory.

## Usage Instructions

### Creating a Virtual Environment
First, ensure you are using Python 3.10, and create a virtual environment:
```bash
# Confirmed not compatible with python3.8/3.9/3.12 due to library compatibility issues
conda create -n GLM-4-Voice python=3.10
```

### Activate the Virtual Environment and Clone the Model
After activating the virtual environment, clone the model and code:
```bash
conda activate GLM-4-Voice
git clone https://huggingface.co/cydxg/glm-4-voice-9b-int4
```
For users in mainland China, you can use the following command to clone:
```bash
git clone https://hf-mirror.com/cydxg/glm-4-voice-9b-int4
```

### Install Dependencies
Navigate to the model directory and install the required dependencies:
```bash
cd glm-4-voice-9b-int4
conda install -c conda-forge openfst
conda install -c conda-forge pynini==2.1.5
pip install -r requirements.txt
mkdir third_party
cd third_party
git clone https://github.com/shivammehta25/Matcha-TTS Matcha-TTS
# Choose the appropriate version of torch based on your CUDA version
conda install pytorch==2.4.1 torchvision==0.19.1 torchaudio==2.4.1 pytorch-cuda=12.4 -c pytorch -c nvidia
```

### Start the Model Service
First, start the model service:
```bash
python model_server.py
```

### Run the Web Demo
Next, run the web demo to access the model:
```bash
python web_demo.py
```
You can then access the model by visiting `http://localhost:8888`.

### Additional Dependencies
If running the web_demo prompts that `matcha.models` is missing, you might see the following error:

```bash
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matcha.models'; 'matcha' is not a package
```

In this case, you need to install `matcha-tts`:

```bash
# First, uninstall gradio and diffusers to avoid version conflicts
pip uninstall gradio
pip uninstall diffusers
pip install matcha-tts
```
