Usage

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from snac import SNAC
import torch
import soundfile as sf

# Load the models
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("ehzawad/orpheus-bangla-emotional-tts")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "ehzawad/orpheus-bangla-emotional-tts", 
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto"
)
snac_model = SNAC.from_pretrained("hubertsiuzdak/snac_24khz").to("cuda")

# Sample prompt in Bangla
prompt = "আপনি কেমন আছেন?"  # "How are you?" in Bangla

# For emotional speech, add the emotion tag (e.g., for happy)
emotional_prompt = "<happy>আপনি কেমন আছেন?</happy>"

# Add your inference code here
# (Follow the example_usage.py code for complete inference)
