Zero to real-time text-to-speech: The complete Orpheus + WebSockets tutorial

This post details the implementation of real-time text-to-speech using WebSockets with the Orpheus TTS model on Baseten. It explains the advantages of WebSockets over traditional HTTP for streaming applications due to reduced overhead and latency. The post provides a complete Python code example demonstrating how to deploy the Orpheus model, establish a WebSocket connection, send text chunks, and receive and play back audio streams in real-time. It also highlights the importance of autoscaling for production deployments of such real-time services.
