Evidence claims:
- [upstream_claim] Model card: governed by CC-BY-4.0; ready for commercial and non-commercial use; about 0.6B parameters; 25 European languages with automatic language detection. · locator: model card, header and license line · source: https://huggingface.co/nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3
- [upstream_claim] Training data: about 10,000 hours of human-transcribed NeMo ASR Set 3.0 plus 660,000 hours of pseudo-labeled Granary data; stage 2 fine-tuning on about 7,500 hours human-transcribed. · locator: model card, training dataset · source: https://huggingface.co/nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3
- [upstream_claim] Reported average WER 11.97% on Fleurs, 7.83% on MLS, 11.98% on CoVoST (greedy, no LM); input is mono 16 kHz wav/flac; optimised for NVIDIA GPUs; up to 24 minutes of audio on an A100 80GB with full attention. · locator: model card, performance and hardware · source: https://huggingface.co/nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3
