CleanS2S

English | 简体中文(Simplified Chinese)

CleanS2S is a Speech-to-Speech (S2S) prototype agent that provides high-quality and streaming interactions in the single-file implementation. This design is simple and clean, aiming to provide a Chinese interactive prototype agent like the GPT-4o style. This project wants to let users directly experience the power of Linguistic User Interface (LUI) and quickly explore/vailidate the potential of the S2S pipeline for researchers.

Here are some live conversation demos of CleanS2S:

Features

📜 Single-file implementation

Every detail about a kind of agent pipeline is put into a single standalone file. There is no extra burden to configure the dependencies and understand the project file structure. So it is a great reference implementation to read for folks who want to quickly have a glance at the S2S pipeline and directly vailidate novel ideas on top of it. All the pipeline implementations are easy to modify and extend, and the user can quickly change the model (e.g. LLM) they like, add new components, or customize the pipeline.

🎮 Real-time streaming interface

The whole S2S pipeline is mainly composed of ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition, or named Speech to Text), LLM (Large Language Model), and TTS (Text to Speech), together with two WebSockets components Receiver (contains VAD) and Sender. The pipeline is designed to be real-time streaming, which means the user can interact with the agent in real-time like a human-to-human conversation. All the audio and text information is streamed sent and received through the WebSocket. To achieve this, we utilize multi-threading and queueing mechanisms to ensure the streaming process and avoid the blocking issue. All the components are designed to be asynchronous and non-blocking, processing the data from input queue and output result into another queue.

🧫 Full-duplex interaction with interruptions

Based on the powerful mechanisms provided by WebSockets, the pipeline supports full-duplex interaction, which means the user can speak and listen to the agent at the same time. Furthermore, the pipeline supports interruptions, which means the user can interrupt the agent at any time during the conversation with a new sppech input. The agent will stop current processing and start to process the new input with the context of the previous conversations and interruptions. Besides, we find the "assistant-style" and "turned-based" response usually used in chatbot is one of the most important drawbacks for human-like conversation. We add more interesting strategies for the agent to make the conversation more interactive and engaging.

🌍 Complemented with Web Search and RAG

The pipeline is further enhanced by the integration of web search capabilities and the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) model. These features provide the agent with the ability to not only process and respond to user inputs in real-time but also to access and incorporate external information from the web into its responses. This provides room for expansion and agility in answering various practical questions raised by users.

• The WebSearchHelper class is responsible for conducting online searches based on user queries or to gather additional information relevant to the conversation. This allows the agent to reference up-to-date or external data, enhancing the richness and accuracy of its responses.
• The RAG class implements a retrieval-augmented generation approach, which first retrieves relevant information from a database and then uses that information to generate responses. This two-step process ensures that the agent's replies are grounded in relevant, factual data, leading to more informed and contextually appropriate interactions.

Get started

Backend (Server)

Installation

## clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/opendilab/CleanS2S.git
cd CleanS2S/backend
pip install -r requirements.txt

• Install funasr (1.1.6 recommended) for paraformer-zh according to the instructions here
• Install cosyvoice for CosyVoice-300M according to the instructions here

Downloading models

Here are 4 necessary models you need to download (3 ASR + 1 TTS), you can download them from the following links and put them in your own proper directory.

• ASR: paraformer-zh, ct-punc, fsmn-vad
• TTS: CosyVoice-300M

For LLM, we use LLM API by default, you can also follow the instructions below to customize your own local LLM (such as DeepSeek-V2.5, Qwen2.5, etc.).

delete the --enable_llm_api and --lm_model_url parameters, and modify the --lm_model_name parameter to your local LLM model path (e.g., --lm_model_name /home/users/deepseek-v2.5).

You also need to prepare a reference audio directory, which contains the reference audios for the prosody and timbre transfer. Here we prepare a sample reference audio directory in this repository. If you want to use your own reference audio, you need to keep it in the same format as the sample reference audio directory. And the audio should be 10~20 seconds long with clear pronunciation.

Running the server

Here is an example of running the server with the default settings:

export LLM_API_KEY=<your-deepseek-api-key>
python3 -u s2s_server_pipeline.py \
        --recv_host 0.0.0.0 \
        --send_host 0.0.0.0 \
        --stt_model_name <your-asr-path> \
        --enable_llm_api \
        --lm_model_name "deepseek-chat" \
        --lm_model_url "https://api.deepseek.com" \
        --tts_model_name <your-tts-path> \
        --ref_dir <ref-audio-path> \
        --enable_interruption

ℹ️ Support for customized LLM: Here we use deepseek-chat as the default LLM API, you can also change to other LLM API follow the OpenAI interface. (modify the --lm_model_name and --lm_model_url, set your own API key)

ℹ️ Support for other customizations: You can refer to the parameters list implemented by the argparse library in the backend pipeline file (e.g. s2s_server_pipeline.py) to customize it according to your own needs. All the parameters are well-documented in their help attributes and easy to understand.

Running the server w/ Websearch+RAG

You should install the dependencies which Websearch and RAG needed first.

pip install -r backend/requirements-rag.txt

Second, choose an embedding model for embedding websearch result in RAG. like the followinging embedding model:

git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2

Then, provide tokens for Websearch and RAG module, in s2s_server_pipeline_rag.py we use Serper as Websearch tool and Deepseek for RAG.

export LLM_API_KEY=''
export SERPER_API_KEY=''

Finally, replace s2s_server_pipeline.py with s2s_server_pipeline_rag.py in the example code given in running the server. and add an arguments --embedding_model_name.

Here is an example of running the server with the default settings with Webseach+RAG:

python3 -u s2s_server_pipeline_rag.py \
        --recv_host 0.0.0.0 \
        --send_host 0.0.0.0 \
        --stt_model_name <your-asr-path> \
        --enable_llm_api \
        --lm_model_name "deepseek-chat" \
        --lm_model_url "https://api.deepseek.com" \
        --tts_model_name <your-tts-path> \
        --embedding_model_name <embedding-model-path> \
        --ref_dir <ref-audio-path> \
        --enable_interruption

Frontend (Client)

We recommend using the Docker image for install and run the client. Here is the specific steps:

## run the basic docker image
docker run -it -p 3001:3001 amazonlinux:2023.2.20231011.0 sh

## install the necessary packages
dnf install vim git nodejs -y
npm install -g pnpm
git clone https://github.com/opendilab/CleanS2S.git
cd CleanS2S/frontend_nextjs
pnpm install

Prepare the proper .env.local file in the frontend_nextjs directory, you can refer to the .env.example file for the necessary environment variables.

## run the client
pnpm dev --port 3001

Then you can visit the client at http://localhost:3001 in your browser (Chrome is recommended).

P.S.: If you want to run the client locally, you should install node.js and pnpm first, then use pnmp to install the necessary packages and run the client.
