Background

PersonaPlex needs accuracy and Native/TRTMC Task-call P50 from the same generated speech. This PR retains the spoken-QA work and incorporates #1783's removal of a discarded Native audio decode. Model arithmetic and codec/input fixes are consolidated separately in #1751.

Exit Criteria

  • One pinned VoiceBench OpenBookQA workload produces accuracy and both Task-call P50 values from the same inference outputs.
  • Both sides use the same teacher role, NATM1 prefix, FP16 temporal/depth core, input and reply timeline.
  • Both sides read the same 24 kHz input samples; neither pipeline resamples.
  • Transcribe generated speech after timing; keep gold labels in the scorer, with no random fallback or Native minimum-score floor.
  • Preserve the paired 2-point margin, explicit unanswered/ambiguous results and inconclusive verdicts.

Implementation

Change categories

  • Model or runtime behavior

  • Public API

  • ABI

  • Bundle or artifact format

  • Dependencies

  • Documentation only

  • CI or developer tooling

  • Prepare the pinned questions and official voice/text prefix; derive bundle capacity from the longest actual question.

  • Resample each speech suite once to Mimi's 24 kHz rate with SciPy polyphase (audio_sample_rate: 24000): VoiceBench, and the LibriSpeech speech-parity suite, which moves to version 2. Both 16 kHz datasets previously reached Native through librosa and TRTMC through its own resampler. The Native reference now rejects input it would have to resample, so librosa no longer touches the model input. This replaces the runtime libsoxr dependency previously proposed in fix(personaplex): align FP16 inference with Native #1751.

  • Replay the prefix and delayed-token state in TRTMC, and use the pinned official step_system_prompts in Native.

  • Keep the current custom listen-then-answer protocol: forced silence during the question, an EPAD response trigger and a fixed reply window. This is a spoken-QA adaptation, not the official full-duplex evaluation.

  • Add offline speech transcription and spoken-option grading. AIPerf output postprocessing preserves the original artifacts and timings.

  • Incorporate fix(personaplex): avoid timing discarded audio decode #1783: decode each returned Native speech frame once, retaining the auxiliary codec only for the official warmup. Its CPU regression verifies output and decode count.

Validation

Commands and Results

Current head 4fdaa0fbfcbdd968aeec4b4f75766532409e82ee, CPU only (CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=''):

  • PYTHONPATH=apps/aiperf_qual:apps/aiperf_qual/plugins:apps/perf_serving:apps/benchmark:core/builder:. python -m pytest apps/aiperf_qual/tests -q, with AIPerf 0.13.0, the registered TRTMC plugins, SciPy 1.18.1 and soundfile 0.14.0: 535 passed, 2 failed. These are the same two SDXL inventory/request-default failures, which also fail on the previous head 0f0fa2e81. The new test_suite_audio.py covers 16-to-24 kHz resampling accuracy, unchanged samples without a different suite rate, and rejection of invalid rates.
  • python -m pytest families/personaplex/tests/test_system_prompt.py families/personaplex/tests/test_reference_decode_work.py -q with PyTorch 2.12.0: 8 passed, including the Native reference's rejection of 16 kHz input.
  • ruff check --config ruff.toml on changed Python files and git diff --check: passed.

Previous head 0f0fa2e81 (before the shared 24 kHz input):

  • PYTHONPATH=apps/aiperf_qual:apps/aiperf_qual/plugins:apps/perf_serving:apps/benchmark:core/builder:. python -m pytest apps/aiperf_qual/tests families/personaplex/tests/test_system_prompt.py families/personaplex/tests/test_reference_decode_work.py -q, with AIPerf 0.13.0 and the registered TRTMC plugins: 534 passed, 2 failed, 0 skipped. The two SDXL inventory/request-default failures reproduce on clean base 06debb09eda99887580ac6264da4c31ceec8f559; no test expectation or gate was changed.
  • ruff check --config ruff.toml, clang-format 22.1.8 on changed native files, the independent benchmark runtime syntax check, and git diff --check: passed.
  • Combined model/benchmark composition: the actual PersonaPlex runtime built, all seven C++ tests passed, and all 43 affected files match the original composition byte for byte.

Hardware, Environment, and Revisions

  • Current head 4fdaa0fbfcbdd968aeec4b4f75766532409e82ee: CPU tests only, Python 3.12.
  • Previous head 0f0fa2e81eb987625ae73ac2e76f714825a7b505; base: 06debb09eda99887580ac6264da4c31ceec8f559.
  • Previous head environment: local NVIDIA A30; Python 3.12, PyTorch 2.12.0+cu130, TensorRT 10.16.1.11; CMake used CUDA 13.1 and SM80. Focused tests exercise the original FP16 rounding boundaries; this is not checkpoint-level parity evidence.
  • C++ runtime build/tests ran on the private composition of these two PR heads. Each individual head also passed its runtime syntax check.
  • Benchmark suite: isolated AIPerf 0.13.0 environment with the registered TRTMC plugins; CPU/offline execution. No model checkpoint or dataset inference was run by this suite.

Not Run / Remaining Gaps

The two SDXL failures also reproduce on the clean base. Full VoiceBench and LibriSpeech inference on the 24 kHz suites, model attribution, spoken-choice extraction coverage and current-head premerge CI remain pending; the historical run does not establish acceptance for this head.

Contributor Self-Review

  • I have completed a self-review of this change.

Reviewed the composed diff, family boundaries, DCO history, issue mappings and recorded validation. Full-model acceptance remains open.

Notes For Future Readers

Risk level

  • Low
  • Medium
  • High

The reply protocol and scorer affect accuracy interpretation. Keep this draft until model attribution and benchmark acceptance are complete.

📝 Summary

Summary

This PR adds a pinned PersonaPlex spoken-QA qualification workflow.

  • Prepares the 455-sample VoiceBench OpenBookQA workload.
  • Uses shared 24 kHz polyphase-resampled audio for Native and TRTMC.
  • Adds forced system-prompt and listening-token support.
  • Removes discarded Native codec decoding.
  • Adds offline transcription and spoken_choice scoring.
  • Preserves unanswered, ambiguous, inconclusive, and paired-margin outcomes.
  • Adds regression tests for decoding, resampling, prompts, scoring, audio, and postprocessing.

Reported validation includes 535 passing AIPerf tests with two pre-existing SDXL failures, eight PersonaPlex tests passing, Ruff passing, and git diff --check passing.

Architecture impact

Family-owned files

PersonaPlex owns the new preparation, prompt, adapter, runtime, configuration, and family test files under families/personaplex/.

Changed shared surfaces

The AIPerf layer now provides:

  • Optional dataset audio resampling.
  • WAV conversion and sample-rate validation.
  • External postprocessing with artifact retention.
  • Offline transcription.
  • The shared spoken_choice metric registration.

These changes affect other dataset-backed audio suites and absolute benchmark consumers.

Dependency directions

The qualification flow now depends on pinned datasets and model revisions, SciPy and audio utilities, Whisper GPU ASR, and an external Python interpreter for postprocessing.

Unresolved blast-radius questions

Full cross-suite validation, full VoiceBench and LibriSpeech inference, GPU latency impact, waveform invariance, model attribution, spoken-choice extraction coverage, and current-head premerge CI remain pending.

Review outcome

HUMAN REVIEW REQUIRED

The available evidence does not resolve the material shared-surface, benchmark qualification, latency, and waveform questions. No automated finding count is available from the supplied evidence.

Changes

The pull request adds AIPerf support for audio resampling, spoken-choice scoring, output postprocessing, and transcription. It also adds a PersonaPlex VoiceBench profile and system-prompt preparation, then extends the PersonaPlex reference adapter and runtime to use primed prompts and listening-mode generation.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4fdaa

GPU transcription can run while the other side is still being timed, so the latency comparison may be skewed, and a transcription failure can trigger a native precision rerun instead of a clear scoring error. Nested multiple-choice options such as "water" and "salt water" are scored as ambiguous, which lowers reported accuracy. Fix both before relying on the results.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is complete and aligned with the template. It covers background, exit criteria, implementation, change categories, validation results, environment and revisions, remaining gaps, self-review, risk, and future notes. It clearly states that full-model acceptance remains pending.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The PR meets the coding requirements for #1782 and #1749. For #1782, families/personaplex/reference/adapter.py keeps other_mimi for the official warmup and performs one primary mimi.decode per output frame. test_reference_decode_work.py verifies returned audio, frame count, sample rate, and zero discarded decodes. For #1749, the suite preprocessing resamples inputs once to 24 kHz with polyphase filtering, and the Native adapter rejects inputs with another rate. Native and TRTMC therefore receive the same 24 kHz samples. Pending full-model inference is validation evidence, not an unmet coding requirement.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within the linked benchmark scope. Audio-suite preprocessing, shared prompt and timeline handling, output transcription and scoring, and artifact checks support comparable Native/TRTMC results. The adapter change and regression test implement #1782. The 24 kHz suite and input validation implement #1749. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Full details: Family Ownership Boundary

Explanation

No cross-family dependency is introduced. The changed PersonaPlex build imports only its own families/personaplex/system_prompt.py (families/personaplex/model.py, changed lines 1423-1429). The new preparation script imports only families.personaplex.reference.prepare and families.personaplex.system_prompt (families/personaplex/reference/prepare_voicebench.py, lines 22-23). Its profile points to PersonaPlex-owned requirements and preparation files (lines 8-9). The other changed files are shared AIPerf mechanics, such as the generic postprocessor, audio loader, and metric registry; these do not reference another model family. The diff changes no other family or central family registry, switch, source list, or strategy map.

Full details: Benchmark Validation Integrity

Explanation

The changed benchmark keeps equivalent per-sample accounting. The profile sends the same 455 requests, with one shared 24 kHz WAV produced by _wav_media, to both trtmc_task paths. Reference timing uses the task-call boundary, while TRTMC timing uses the worker's public_task_call_wall; both exclude file decoding and artifact serialization. run_aiperf records per-request timing before postprocessing, and postprocess preserves original evidence. Natural performance pairs samples by request and checks work signatures before reporting P50. The native adapter now performs one output decode per frame, matching the TRTMC path. The task defaults provide one excluded warmup request for both sides.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 17.28% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 81 functions across 19 files. (4 skipped: 4 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Full details: Shared Semantic Neutrality

Explanation

The shared suite config adds a model-specific preprocessing decision. apps/aiperf_qual/config/suites/librispeech-test-clean-speech-20.yaml:6,15 changes the common speech_parity workload to resample audio to a fixed 24 kHz and describes it as the model's rate. apps/aiperf_qual/config/tasks.yaml:122 consumes this suite from the shared speech_parity task, which is inherited by the speech_to_speech task at line 188. The 24 kHz PersonaPlex/Mimi choice is not supplied by a family-owned contract. The generic _wav_media option is acceptable, but this shared suite value introduces model-specific dataset and preprocessing semantics.

Resolution

Keep the shared LibriSpeech suite model-neutral. Move the 24 kHz suite version and audio_sample_rate override into a PersonaPlex-owned suite or family-owned task/profile configuration, or make the family pass the rate through an existing narrow contract. Do not change the shared speech_parity workload for all speech_to_speech consumers.

Full details: Shared Change Blast Radius

Explanation

The PR changes shared AIPerf surfaces: suites.py adds generic audio resampling and composite labels, absolute.py adds postprocessing and artifact retention, and gold_metrics.py registers a shared metric. Repository evidence identifies the PersonaPlex profile as a new consumer and shows other HF-suite and family profiles use the same loader and orchestration. The code also shows additive optional behavior, and the supplied validation reports shared-suite tests plus PersonaPlex tests. However, the supplied PR description is truncated at “Combine”. The available text does not establish whether the full description identifies all affected consumers, compatibility impact, validation limits, and why these features cannot remain family-owned.

Resolution

Provide the complete PR description or a design note that explicitly lists the model-agnostic need, affected existing consumers, compatibility behavior for unchanged profiles, validation evidence and limits, and why shared AIPerf orchestration is required instead of PersonaPlex-local code.

VoiceBench and LibriSpeech questions are 16 kHz. Native resampled them with
librosa (soxr HQ) while TRTMC used its own windowed-sinc resampler, so the
two sides answered slightly different inputs. Resample each suite once with
SciPy polyphase (audio_sample_rate: 24000) and make the Native reference
reject audio it would have to resample. librosa no longer touches the model
input; the speech-parity suite moves to version 2.

Move GPU postprocessing out of the serving context.

_suite_side calls postprocess before returning. Both run_native and run_candidate call it while their serving_replicas contexts remain active. In overlapped_acc, both sides share the MPS daemon until the finished/release handshake completes. transcribe_outputs.py loads Whisper on CUDA and runs CUDA inference. That work can overlap the other side's profiling and perturb its Task-call P50.

A postprocessing failure also propagates through run_native's per-precision except block. When run_native uses its normal precision list, the native run can retry at the next precision instead of reporting the failure as a scoring error.

Return the observations from each side, then run the configured postprocessors after both serving contexts and the shared MPS daemon have been released. Preserve the returned observations and apply the postprocessor updates before scoring.

Do not let a shorter option count as a second answer when it is contained in a longer matched option.

The fallback checks each option text on its own. Some OpenBookQA options are word-level prefixes or sub-spans of other options, for example "water" and "salt water". If the reply is "salt water", both options match. letters then holds two letters, and the reply is scored as ambiguous and wrong. The docstring promises a "unique complete option text" match, but the code does not deliver that when one option sits inside another.

Record the matched span for each option. Then drop a candidate whose span lies strictly inside another candidate's span. Both sides are affected equally, so the paired comparison stays fair. The absolute Acc values still go down.

If that value is attacker-controlled it can introduce a malicious pattern with catastrophic backtracking (ReDoS). Use a hardcoded literal pattern, or validate/escape untrusted input with re.escape() and bound the regex complexity before compiling.

lines 66 - 72:
Update the fallback option-matching logic around the letters collection to
record affirmative match spans for each candidate option, then exclude any
candidate whose every matched span lies strictly inside a span belonging to
another option. Preserve standalone matches, require options to remain at least
three characters, and add only non-nested option letters to the result.
