MOSS-TTS-v1.5 AWQ INT4 on a single RTX 3090 (2026-09)

Benchmark + samples for the 4-bit AWQ build (lemuriandezapada/MOSS-TTS-v1.5-awq-int4, 6.3 GB) against the BF16 and HQ4 baselines. Same 33 prompts, seeds (1234) and sampling throughout; Marlin/bf16 kernels, SDPA, batch 1, one RTX 3090.

Code: groxaxo/moss-tts-hq4-quant/awq-3090 (full harness, env pins, reproduction commands).

Headline

• 33/33 pass, 0 silent — pooled RTF 0.43 (BF16 0.59, HQ4 0.88), 35.8 tok/s (BF16 25.5, HQ4 17.0), peak VRAM 13.05 GiB combined.
• Spanish: all 8 prompts healthy, no truncation/silence (see samples).
• Register control (instruction-guided female, F0 ≥195 Hz): 3/15 (HQ4 1/21, BF16 1/4) — usable control restored, both languages pass.
• Caveats: Marlin bf16 is run-to-run nondeterministic on sm86 (treat rates as single-draw estimates); a gptqmodel unload-retention quirk keeps decode peak at ~13 GiB (12GB deployment blocked until resolved).
