| Part of the [MiMo V2.5 ASR MLX](https://huggingface.co/collections/mlx-community/mimo-v25-asr-6a02cb99466d6a36475a4d70) collection. | |
| # MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX-4bit (MLX) | |
| Apple MLX weights for [XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.5-ASR](https://github.com/XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.5-ASR), converted for local ASR on Apple Silicon. | |
| ## TL;DR | |
| | | | | |
| |---|---| | |
| | **Variant** | 4-bit | | |
| | **Best for** | smallest checkpoint | | |
| | **Official code** | [`XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.5-ASR`](https://github.com/XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.5-ASR) | | |
| | **MLX helper** | [`ailuntx/MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX`](https://github.com/ailuntx/MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX) | | |
| | **MLX runtime dependency** | [`ailuntx/mlx-audio`](https://github.com/ailuntx/mlx-audio) | | |
| | **Audio tokenizer** | [`mlx-community/MiMo-Audio-Tokenizer`](https://huggingface.co/mlx-community/MiMo-Audio-Tokenizer) | | |
| | **Hardware** | Apple Silicon recommended; HF Spaces CPU fallback is only a load smoke test | | |
| ## Quick Start | |
| ```bash | |
| git clone https://github.com/ailuntx/MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX.git | |
| cd MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX | |
| python -m venv .venv | |
| .venv/bin/pip install git+https://github.com/ailuntx/mlx-audio.git | |
| hf download mlx-community/MiMo-Audio-Tokenizer --local-dir ./models/MiMo-Audio-Tokenizer | |
| hf download mlx-community/MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX-4bit --local-dir ./models/MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX-4bit | |
| .venv/bin/python run_mimo_asr_mlx.py \ | |
| --model ./models/MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX-4bit \ | |
| --audio path/to/audio.wav | |
| ``` | |
| ## Variants | |
| | Variant | Best for | | |
| |---|---| | |
| | [`MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX`](https://huggingface.co/mlx-community/MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX) | default entry | | |
| | [`MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX-fp32`](https://huggingface.co/mlx-community/MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX-fp32) | high-precision baseline | | |
| | [`MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX-bf16`](https://huggingface.co/mlx-community/MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX-bf16) | high-quality Apple Silicon use | | |
| | [`MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX-8bit`](https://huggingface.co/mlx-community/MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX-8bit) | smaller local checkpoint | | |
| | [`MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX-4bit`](https://huggingface.co/mlx-community/MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX-4bit) | smallest checkpoint | | |

| ## Conversion Notes | |
| | Component | Source | MLX handling | | |
| |---|---|---| | |
| | ASR model | `XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.5-ASR` | converted to MLX weights | | |
| | audio tokenizer | `mlx-community/MiMo-Audio-Tokenizer` | downloaded separately and passed to the runtime | | |
| | helper script | `ailuntx/MiMo-V2.5-ASR-MLX` | wraps `mlx-audio` loading/generation | | |
| ## Validation | |
| Local Apple Silicon is the intended runtime. The HF Space can start and load the model on Linux CPU fallback, but full ASR on `cpu-basic` can exceed request timeouts. | |
