How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

Firstly, sorry for being frustrated last time I gave a bug report. I love your software.

Okay, so PiperTTS likes to work with short text, and that is fine. Interestingly, If the text is longer I will get

However, as soon as I select the next large text it plays the first text that errored out. Furthermore, it likes to add the word "asterisks" between each paragraph and any keyboard character besides "the period". I've flush voice cache a ton and doesn't seem to help.

If there is no fix, it's fine don't worry about it. You have come a long way and this is spectacular software!

Windows 10
Llama 3.1 Storm q8 (all features work with this model, sorry about prior complaints)
AnythingLLM v1.6.4

Are there known steps to reproduce?

Using PiperTTS and normal sized output from Llama 3 which is usually two paragraphs or 350 words. After it errors out, select another.

Will see if we can replicate it. If you can share system specs on your end that would help a lot - the worker system should have timeout disabled by default so longer-processes can run, like longer text predictions.

Clearly it does eventually load since you get the result after, just not on the first click.

I have this error too. Version 1.6.6 on Windows 11.
In my case, I can't even play a sample voice.

Im having the same issue. i think its because of my low internet speed it needs a little longer to download the model. once im lucky and get the tick, im all good for that model. Im using docker so i cant figure out how to import the model manualy

This issue is due to streaming of assets from HF timing out within the 30s worker limit. This can be because:

  • User access to HF is blocked (geo blocked by HF)
  • Internet speeds too slow

I'm having the same issues with the Piper timeout error on anything longer than a quick sentence or two from the LLM. I'm running AnythingLLM v1.10.0 with LM Studio. I'm running completely local. I can play the voice in the preview setting, and it works just fine for shorter responses.

HP Zbook Studio G7 on Linux Mint (i7, 16GB, Nvidia Quadro T1000 4GB vram)

The LLM and the Piper model are stored and running locally.
