Architecture

• Model: standard RNN-Transducer (no TDT duration head)
• Encoder: 42-layer FastConformer, 80-mel input, d_model=1024
• Decoder: RNN predictor + joint network
• Vocab: 1024-token BPE (lowercase English)
• Sample rate: 16 kHz

The RNNT decoder is auto-detected at runtime via n_tdt_durations==0.

Provenance and EU AI Act Art. 53 note

• Upstream model: nvidia/parakeet-rnnt-1.1b — published by nvidia.
• Upstream licence: cc-by-4.0. This repository redistributes under the same terms; it grants no rights the upstream licence does not.
• What was done here: format conversion and/or quantisation only (GGUF). No training, no fine-tuning, no merging, no distillation, no change to architecture, vocabulary or capability. Only the numeric representation of the upstream weights differs.
• Training data: documented — where it is documented at all — by the upstream provider; see the upstream model card. No training data was used, added or selected by this repository.
• Provider status: under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 the upstream authors remain the provider of this model. Converting the serialisation format does not make this repository the provider of a new general-purpose AI model, and no such claim is made. Questions about training content, copyright policy or model capability belong upstream.
