20
+ # Tiny Audio
21
 
22
+ A speech recognition model trained in 24 hours on a single GPU for ~$12. Built with [Tiny Audio](https://github.com/alexkroman/tiny-audio)—a minimal, hackable ASR framework.
 
 
 
 
 
23
 
24
+ ## Quick Start
 
 
 
 
25
 
26
+ ```python
27
+ from transformers import pipeline
28
+
29
+ pipe = pipeline("automatic-speech-recognition", model="mazesmazes/tiny-audio", trust_remote_code=True)
30
+ result = pipe("audio.wav")
31
+ print(result["text"])
32
+ ```
33
+
34
+ ## Usage Examples
35
+
36
+ ### Basic Transcription
37
+
38
+ ```python
39
+ from transformers import pipeline
40
+
41
+ pipe = pipeline("automatic-speech-recognition", model="mazesmazes/tiny-audio", trust_remote_code=True)
42
+
43
+ # From file
44
+ result = pipe("audio.wav")
45
+ print(result["text"])
46
+
47
+ # From URL
48
+ result = pipe("https://example.com/audio.mp3")
49
+
50
+ # From numpy array (must be 16kHz)
51
+ import numpy as np
52
+ audio = np.random.randn(16000).astype(np.float32) # 1 second
53
+ result = pipe(audio)
54
+ ```
55
+
56
+ ### Batch Processing
57
+
58
+ ```python
59
+ # Process multiple files
60
+ files = ["audio1.wav", "audio2.wav", "audio3.wav"]
61
+ results = pipe(files, batch_size=4)
62
+ for r in results:
63
+ print(r["text"])
64
+ ```
65
+
66
+ ### Word-Level Timestamps
67
+
68
+ ```python
69
+ result = pipe("audio.wav", return_timestamps="word")
70
+ # Returns:
71
+ # {
72
+ # "text": "hello world",
73
+ # "chunks": [
74
+ # {"text": "hello", "timestamp": (0.0, 0.5)},
75
+ # {"text": "world", "timestamp": (0.6, 1.0)}
76
+ # ]
77
+ # }
78
+ ```
79
+
80
+ ### Streaming Inference
81
+
82
+ ```python
83
+ from tiny_audio import ASRModel, ASRProcessor
84
+ import torch
85
+
86
+ model = ASRModel.from_pretrained("mazesmazes/tiny-audio")
87
+ processor = ASRProcessor.from_pretrained("mazesmazes/tiny-audio")
88
+
89
+ # Load and process audio
90
+ import librosa
91
+ audio, sr = librosa.load("audio.wav", sr=16000)
92
+ inputs = processor(audio, sampling_rate=16000, return_tensors="pt")
93
+
94
+ # Stream tokens
95
+ for token in model.generate_streaming(inputs["input_features"]):
96
+ print(token, end="", flush=True)
97
+ ```
98
+
99
+ ### Using with torch directly
100
+
101
+ ```python
102
+ from tiny_audio import ASRModel, ASRProcessor
103
+ import torch
104
+ import librosa
105
+
106
+ # Load model and processor
107
+ model = ASRModel.from_pretrained("mazesmazes/tiny-audio")
108
+ processor = ASRProcessor.from_pretrained("mazesmazes/tiny-audio")
109
+
110
+ # Load audio (16kHz)
111
+ audio, sr = librosa.load("audio.wav", sr=16000)
112
+
113
+ # Process
114
+ inputs = processor(audio, sampling_rate=16000, return_tensors="pt")
115
+
116
+ # Generate
117
+ with torch.no_grad():
118
+ output = model.generate(
119
+ input_features=inputs["input_features"],
120
+ attention_mask=inputs["attention_mask"],
121
+ max_new_tokens=256
122
+ )
123
+
124
+ # Decode
125
+ text = processor.batch_decode(output, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
126
+ print(text)
127
+ ```
128
+
129
+ ### GPU Inference
130
+
131
+ ```python
132
+ import torch
133
+
134
+ pipe = pipeline(
135
+ "automatic-speech-recognition",
136
+ model="mazesmazes/tiny-audio",
137
+ trust_remote_code=True,
138
+ device="cuda" # or device=0
139
+ )
140
+ ```
141
+
142
+ ### Half Precision
143
+
144
+ ```python
145
+ pipe = pipeline(
146
+ "automatic-speech-recognition",
147
+ model="mazesmazes/tiny-audio",
148
+ trust_remote_code=True,
149
+ torch_dtype=torch.float16,
150
+ device="cuda"
151
+ )
152
+ ```
153
+
154
+ ## Architecture
155
+
156
+ ```
157
+ Audio (16kHz) → GLM-ASR Encoder (frozen) → MLP Projector (trained) → Qwen3 (frozen) → Text
158
+ ```
159
+
160
+ Only the projector is trained (~12M params). The encoder and decoder remain frozen, leveraging their pretrained knowledge.
161
+
162
+ | Component | Model | Parameters | Status |
163
+ |-----------|-------|------------|--------|
164
+ | Audio Encoder | GLM-ASR-Nano-2512 | ~600M | Frozen |
165
+ | Projector | 2-layer MLP | ~12M | Trained |
166
+ | Language Model | Qwen3-0.6B | ~600M | Frozen |
167
+
168
+ ### How It Works
169
+
170
+ 1. **Audio Encoder**: GLM-ASR converts 16kHz audio into frame-level embeddings (768-dim)
171
+ 2. **Projector**: A 2-layer MLP with frame stacking bridges the audio and text embedding spaces
172
+ 3. **Language Model**: Qwen3 generates text autoregressively, conditioned on the projected audio
173
+
174
+ The projector reduces sequence length via frame stacking: `output_len = (input_len - 5) // 5 + 1`
175
+
176
+ ## Model Specifications
177
+
178
+ | Specification | Value |
179
+ |---------------|-------|
180
+ | Input | Audio (16kHz mono) |
181
+ | Output | Text transcription |
182
+ | Max Audio Length | ~30 seconds (limited by encoder) |
183
+ | Vocabulary | Qwen3 tokenizer |
184
+ | Languages | English only |
185
+ | Generation | Greedy decoding (num_beams=1, do_sample=False) |
186
+
187
+ ## Training Details
188
+
189
+ | | |
190
+ |---|---|
191
+ | **Dataset** | LoquaciousSet (25,000 hours) |
192
+ | **Hardware** | Single NVIDIA A40 |
193
+ | **Time** | ~24 hours |
194
+ | **Cost** | ~$12 |
195
+ | **Optimizer** | AdamW |
196
+ | **Learning Rate** | 1e-4 |
197
+ | **Batch Size** | 4 |
198
+ | **Steps** | 50,000 |
199
+
200
+ ## Limitations
201
+
202
+ - **English only**: Not trained on other languages
203
+ - **Sample rate**: Expects 16kHz audio (other rates resampled automatically)
204
+ - **Audio length**: Best for clips under 30 seconds
205
+ - **Accuracy**: May degrade on:
206
+ - Heavily accented speech
207
+ - Noisy or low-quality audio
208
+ - Domain-specific terminology
209
+ - Overlapping speakers
210
+ - **No punctuation**: Output is lowercase without punctuation by default
