  # Command used for script-based generation with CPU
  python -m scripts.generate_voice --text "This is a test of voice generation using CPU." --device cpu --verbose

• API-based generation: Successfully generated voice files with all three device options:

  • CPU: /tmp/echoforge/voices/voice_1742111628_dfc2cf8a.wav
  • CUDA: /tmp/echoforge/voices/voice_1742111789_ca813d54.wav
  • Auto: /tmp/echoforge/voices/voice_1742111897_f5ae76d7.wav

  # Command used for API-based generation with CPU
  curl -X POST http://localhost:8765/api/generate -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"text": "Testing voice generation with CPU device selection.", "speaker_id": 1, "temperature": 0.7, "top_k": 50, "style": "default", "device": "cpu"}'
    
  # Command used for API-based generation with CUDA
  curl -X POST http://localhost:8765/api/generate -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"text": "Testing voice generation with CUDA device selection.", "speaker_id": 1, "temperature": 0.7, "top_k": 50, "style": "default", "device": "cuda"}'
    
  # Command used for API-based generation with auto device selection
  curl -X POST http://localhost:8765/api/generate -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"text": "Testing voice generation with auto device selection.", "speaker_id": 1, "temperature": 0.7, "top_k": 50, "style": "default", "device": "auto"}'

• Task status checking: Verified task status updates through API:

  # Command used for checking task status
  curl -X GET http://localhost:8765/api/tasks/{task_id} -s | python -m json.tool

• File comparison: All generated files were identical (confirmed via cosine similarity and direct comparison). Each file was 480,078 bytes with 240,000 samples at 24,000 Hz and duration of 10 seconds.

  # Commands used for comparing files
  python -c "import torchaudio, torch; cpu_audio, _ = torchaudio.load('/tmp/echoforge/voices/voice_1742111628_dfc2cf8a.wav'); cuda_audio, _ = torchaudio.load('/tmp/echoforge/voices/voice_1742111789_ca813d54.wav'); auto_audio, _ = torchaudio.load('/tmp/echoforge/voices/voice_1742111897_f5ae76d7.wav'); print(f'CPU-CUDA identical: {torch.all(cpu_audio == cuda_audio).item()}'); print(f'CPU-Auto identical: {torch.all(cpu_audio == auto_audio).item()}'); print(f'CUDA-Auto identical: {torch.all(cuda_audio == auto_audio).item()}')"

• Audio properties: Files had consistent properties - Min: -1.0, Max: ~1.0, Mean: ~0, Std: ~0.65.

  # Command used for analyzing audio properties
  python -c "import torchaudio, torch, numpy as np; cpu_audio, _ = torchaudio.load('/tmp/echoforge/voices/voice_1742111628_dfc2cf8a.wav'); print(f'First 10 samples: {cpu_audio[0, :10]}'); print(f'Min value: {cpu_audio.min().item()}, Max value: {cpu_audio.max().item()}'); print(f'Mean: {cpu_audio.mean().item()}, Std: {cpu_audio.std().item()}')"
