Qwen3-ASR-1.7B-gguf

Qwen3-ASR-1.7B: transcribe.cpp GGUF

GGUF conversions of Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B for use with transcribe.cpp.

Ported from upstream commit 7278e1e, pinned 2026-04-19. Validated against the qwen_asr 0.0.6 reference at transcribe.cpp commit 3f61df7 on 2026-04-20.

Offline multilingual speech-to-text. Same audio-LLM architecture as the 0.6B variant (bidirectional audio encoder feeding a Qwen3 causal LM with audio-token injection), wider: encoder d_model=1024 (16 heads), LM hidden_size=2048, intermediate_size=6144. Auto-detects the audio's language across 30 languages and emits the transcript in that language. Takes a 16 kHz mono WAV; explicit language hints are not supported at this time.

Downloads

WER on the full LibriSpeech test-clean split (2,620 utterances), batch size 1, timestamps none. Figures without a commit were published before provenance was recorded.

Scored with the Whisper-style English text normalizer and jiwer 3.x on an Apple M4. Qwen3-ASR is a multilingual model — this number characterizes the English case only. The larger decoder gives 1.7B more quantization headroom than the 0.6B; BF16 / F16 / Q8_0 / Q6_K / Q5_K_M are all within bootstrap CI of each other, and Q4_K_M regresses only ~0.2 WER points. Reproduce with scripts/wer/run.py + scripts/wer/score.py.

Usage

Build transcribe.cpp from source:

git clone [email protected]:handy-computer/transcribe.cpp.git
cd transcribe.cpp
cmake -B build && cmake --build build

Run on a 16 kHz mono WAV:

build/bin/transcribe-cli \
  -m Qwen3-ASR-1.7B-Q8_0.gguf \
  input.wav

If your audio isn't already 16 kHz mono WAV, convert it first:

ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -ar 16000 -ac 1 output.wav

Qwen3-ASR

Overview

Introduction

<p align="center"> <img src="https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3-ASR-Repo/qwen3_asr_introduction.png" width="90%"/> <p>

The Qwen3-ASR family includes Qwen3-ASR-1.7B and Qwen3-ASR-0.6B, which support language identification and ASR for 52 languages and dialects. Both leverage large-scale speech training data and the strong audio understanding capability of their foundation model, Qwen3-Omni. Experiments show that the 1.7B version achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source ASR models and is competitive with the strongest proprietary commercial APIs. Here are the main features:

• All-in-one: Qwen3-ASR-1.7B and Qwen3-ASR-0.6B support language identification and speech recognition for 30 languages and 22 Chinese dialects, so as to English accents from multiple countries and regions.

• Excellent and Fast: The Qwen3-ASR family ASR models maintains high-quality and robust recognition under complex acoustic environments and challenging text patterns. Qwen3-ASR-1.7B achieves strong performance on both open-sourced and internal benchmarks. While the 0.6B version achieves accuracy-efficient trade-off, it reaches 2000 times throughput at a concurrency of 128. They both achieve streaming / offline unified inference with single model and support transcribe long audio.

• Novel and strong forced alignment Solution: We introduce Qwen3-ForcedAligner-0.6B, which supports timestamp prediction for arbitrary units within up to 5 minutes of speech in 11 languages. Evaluations show its timestamp accuracy surpasses E2E based forced-alignment models.

• Comprehensive inference toolkit: In addition to open-sourcing the architectures and weights of the Qwen3-ASR series, we also release a powerful, full-featured inference framework that supports vLLM-based batch inference, asynchronous serving, streaming inference, timestamp prediction, and more.

huggingface-cli download Qwen/Qwen3-ForcedAligner-0.6B --local-dir ./Qwen3-ForcedAligner-0.6B

Quickstart

Environment Setup

The easiest way to use Qwen3-ASR is to install the qwen-asr Python package from PyPI. This will pull in the required runtime dependencies and allow you to load any released Qwen3-ASR model. If you’d like to simplify environment setup further, you can also use our official Docker image. The qwen-asr package provides two backends: the transformers backend and the vLLM backend. For usage instructions for different backends, please refer to Python Package Usage. We recommend using a fresh, isolated environment to avoid dependency conflicts with existing packages. You can create a clean Python 3.12 environment like this:

conda create -n qwen3-asr python=3.12 -y
conda activate qwen3-asr

Run the following command to get the minimal installation with transformers-backend support:

pip install -U qwen-asr

To enable the vLLM backend for faster inference and streaming support, run:

pip install -U qwen-asr[vllm]

If you want to develop or modify the code locally, install from source in editable mode:

git clone https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen3-ASR.git
cd Qwen3-ASR
pip install -e .
# support vLLM backend
# pip install -e ".[vllm]"

Additionally, we recommend using FlashAttention 2 to reduce GPU memory usage and accelerate inference speed, especially for long inputs and large batch sizes.

pip install -U flash-attn --no-build-isolation

If your machine has less than 96GB of RAM and lots of CPU cores, run:

MAX_JOBS=4 pip install -U flash-attn --no-build-isolation

Also, you should have hardware that is compatible with FlashAttention 2. Read more about it in the official documentation of the FlashAttention repository. FlashAttention 2 can only be used when a model is loaded in torch.float16 or torch.bfloat16.

Python Package Usage

Quick Inference

The qwen-asr package provides two backends: transformers backend and vLLM backend. You can pass audio inputs as a local path, a URL, base64 data, or a (np.ndarray, sr) tuple, and run batch inference. To quickly try Qwen3-ASR, you can use Qwen3ASRModel.from_pretrained(...) for the transformers backend with the following code:

import torch
from qwen_asr import Qwen3ASRModel

model = Qwen3ASRModel.from_pretrained(
    "Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B",
    dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="cuda:0",
    # attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
    max_inference_batch_size=32, # Batch size limit for inference. -1 means unlimited. Smaller values can help avoid OOM.
    max_new_tokens=256, # Maximum number of tokens to generate. Set a larger value for long audio input.
)

results = model.transcribe(
    audio="https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3-ASR-Repo/asr_en.wav",
    language=None, # set "English" to force the language
)

print(results[0].language)
print(results[0].text)

If you want to return timestamps, pass forced_aligner and its init kwargs. Here is an example of batch inference with timestamps output:

import torch
from qwen_asr import Qwen3ASRModel

model = Qwen3ASRModel.from_pretrained(
    "Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B",
    dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="cuda:0",
    # attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
    max_inference_batch_size=32, # Batch size limit for inference. -1 means unlimited. Smaller values can help avoid OOM.
    max_new_tokens=256, # Maximum number of tokens to generate. Set a larger value for long audio input.
    forced_aligner="Qwen/Qwen3-ForcedAligner-0.6B",
    forced_aligner_kwargs=dict(
        dtype=torch.bfloat16,
        device_map="cuda:0",
        # attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
    ),
)

results = model.transcribe(
    audio=[
      "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3-ASR-Repo/asr_zh.wav",
      "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3-ASR-Repo/asr_en.wav",
    ],
    language=["Chinese", "English"], # can also be set to None for automatic language detection
    return_time_stamps=True,
)

for r in results:
    print(r.language, r.text, r.time_stamps[0])

For more detailed usage examples, please refer to the example code for the transformers backend.

vLLM Backend

If you want the fastest inference speed with Qwen3-ASR, we strongly recommend using the vLLM backend by initializing the model with Qwen3ASRModel.LLM(...). Example code is provided below. Note that you must install it via pip install -U qwen-asr[vllm]. If you want the model to output timestamps, it’s best to install FlashAttention via pip install -U flash-attn --no-build-isolation to speed up inference for the forced aligner model. Remember to wrap your code under if __name__ == '__main__': to avoid the spawn error described in vLLM Troubleshooting.

import torch
from qwen_asr import Qwen3ASRModel

if __name__ == '__main__':
    model = Qwen3ASRModel.LLM(
        model="Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B",
        gpu_memory_utilization=0.7,
        max_inference_batch_size=128, # Batch size limit for inference. -1 means unlimited. Smaller values can help avoid OOM.
        max_new_tokens=4096, # Maximum number of tokens to generate. Set a larger value for long audio input.
        forced_aligner="Qwen/Qwen3-ForcedAligner-0.6B",
        forced_aligner_kwargs=dict(
            dtype=torch.bfloat16,
            device_map="cuda:0",
            # attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
        ),
    )

    results = model.transcribe(
        audio=[
        "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3-ASR-Repo/asr_zh.wav",
        "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3-ASR-Repo/asr_en.wav",
        ],
        language=["Chinese", "English"], # can also be set to None for automatic language detection
        return_time_stamps=True,
    )

    for r in results:
        print(r.language, r.text, r.time_stamps[0])

For more detailed usage examples, please refer to the example code for the vLLM backend. In addition, you can start a vLLM server via the qwen-asr-serve command, which is a wrapper around vllm serve. You can pass any arguments supported by vllm serve, for example:

qwen-asr-serve Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B --gpu-memory-utilization 0.8 --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

And send requests to the server via:

import requests

url = "http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions"
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}

data = {
    "messages": [
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {
                    "type": "audio_url",
                    "audio_url": {
                        "url": "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3-ASR-Repo/asr_en.wav"
                    },
                }
            ],
        }
    ]
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data, timeout=300)
response.raise_for_status()
content = response.json()['choices'][0]['message']['content']
print(content)

# parse ASR output if you want
from qwen_asr import parse_asr_output
language, text = parse_asr_output(content)
print(language)
print(text)

Streaming Inference

Qwen3-ASR fully supports streaming inference. Currently, streaming inference is only available with the vLLM backend. Note that streaming inference does not support batch inference or returning timestamps. Please refer to the example code for details. You can also launch a streaming web demo through the guide to experience Qwen3-ASR’s streaming transcription capabilities.

ForcedAligner Usage

Qwen3-ForcedAligner-0.6B can align text–speech pairs and return word or character level timestamps. Here is an example of using the forced aligner directly:

import torch
from qwen_asr import Qwen3ForcedAligner

model = Qwen3ForcedAligner.from_pretrained(
    "Qwen/Qwen3-ForcedAligner-0.6B",
    dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="cuda:0",
    # attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
)

results = model.align(
    audio="https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3-ASR-Repo/asr_zh.wav",
    text="甚至出现交易几乎停滞的情况。",
    language="Chinese",
)

print(results[0])
print(results[0][0].text, results[0][0].start_time, results[0][0].end_time)

In addition, the forced aligner supports local paths / URLs / base64 data / (np.ndarray, sr) inputs and batch inference. Please refer to the example code for details.

DashScope API Usage

To further explore Qwen3-ASR, we encourage you to try our DashScope API for a faster and more efficient experience. For detailed API information and documentation, please refer to the following:

Launch Local Web UI Demo

Gradio Demo

To launch the Qwen3-ASR web UI gradio demo, install the qwen-asr package and run qwen-asr-demo. Use the command below for help:

qwen-asr-demo --help

To launch the demo, you can use the following commands:

# Transformers backend
qwen-asr-demo \
  --asr-checkpoint Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B \
  --backend transformers \
  --cuda-visible-devices 0 \
  --ip 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

# Transformers backend + Forced Aligner (enable timestamps)
qwen-asr-demo \
  --asr-checkpoint Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B \
  --aligner-checkpoint Qwen/Qwen3-ForcedAligner-0.6B \
  --backend transformers \
  --cuda-visible-devices 0 \
  --backend-kwargs '{"device_map":"cuda:0","dtype":"bfloat16","max_inference_batch_size":8,"max_new_tokens":256}' \
  --aligner-kwargs '{"device_map":"cuda:0","dtype":"bfloat16"}' \
  --ip 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

# vLLM backend + Forced Aligner (enable timestamps)
qwen-asr-demo \
  --asr-checkpoint Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B \
  --aligner-checkpoint Qwen/Qwen3-ForcedAligner-0.6B \
  --backend vllm \
  --cuda-visible-devices 0 \
  --backend-kwargs '{"gpu_memory_utilization":0.7,"max_inference_batch_size":8,"max_new_tokens":2048}' \
  --aligner-kwargs '{"device_map":"cuda:0","dtype":"bfloat16"}' \
  --ip 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Then open http://<your-ip>:8000, or access it via port forwarding in tools like VS Code.

Backend Notes

This demo supports two backends: transformers and vLLM. All backend-specific initialization parameters should be passed via --backend-kwargs as a JSON dict. If not provided, the demo will use sensible defaults.

# Example: override transformers init args without flash attention
--backend-kwargs '{"device_map":"cuda:0","dtype":"bfloat16"}'

# Example: override vLLM init args with 65% GPU memory
--backend-kwargs '{"gpu_memory_utilization":0.65}'

CUDA Device Notes

Because vLLM does not follow cuda:0 style device selection, this demo selects GPUs by setting CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES via --cuda-visible-devices.

# Use GPU 0
--cuda-visible-devices 0

# Use GPU 1
--cuda-visible-devices 1

Timestamps Notes

Timestamps are only available when --aligner-checkpoint is provided. If you launch the demo without a forced aligner, the timestamps UI will be hidden automatically.

# No forced aligner
qwen-asr-demo --asr-checkpoint Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B

# With forced aligner
qwen-asr-demo \
  --asr-checkpoint Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B \
  --aligner-checkpoint Qwen/Qwen3-ForcedAligner-0.6B

HTTPS Notes

To avoid browser microphone permission issues after deploying the server, it is recommended/required to run the gradio service over HTTPS (especially when accessed remotely or behind modern browsers/gateways). Use --ssl-certfile and --ssl-keyfile to enable HTTPS. First, generate a private key and a self-signed certificate (valid for 365 days):

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 \
  -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem \
  -days 365 -nodes \
  -subj "/CN=localhost"

Then run the demo with HTTPS:

qwen-asr-demo \
  --asr-checkpoint Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B \
  --backend transformers \
  --cuda-visible-devices 0 \
  --ip 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 \
  --ssl-certfile cert.pem \
  --ssl-keyfile key.pem \
  --no-ssl-verify

Then open https://<your-ip>:8000 to use it. If your browser shows a warning, that’s expected for self-signed certificates. For production, use a real certificate.

Streaming Demo

To experience Qwen3-ASR’s streaming transcription capability in a web UI, we provide a minimal Flask-based streaming demo. The demo captures microphone audio in the browser, resamples it to 16,000 Hz, and continuously pushes PCM chunks to the model. Run the demo with the following command:

qwen-asr-demo-streaming \
  --asr-model-path Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --port 8000 \
  --gpu-memory-utilization 0.9

Then open http://<your-ip>:8000, or access it via port forwarding in tools like VS Code.

Deployment with vLLM

vLLM officially provides day-0 model support for Qwen3-ASR for efficient inference.

Installation

You can run Qwen3-ASR with vLLM nightly wheel or docker image. To install the nightly version of vLLM, we recommend using uv as the environment manager

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -U vllm --pre \
    --extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/nightly/cu129 \
    --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu129 \
    --index-strategy unsafe-best-match
uv pip install "vllm[audio]" # For additional audio dependencies

Online Serving

You can easily deploy Qwen3-ASR with vLLM by running the following command

vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B

After the model server is successfully deployed, you can interact with it in multiple ways.

Using OpenAI SDK

import base64
import httpx
from openai import OpenAI

# Initialize client
client = OpenAI(
    base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1",
    api_key="EMPTY"
)

# Create multimodal chat completion request
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {
                    "type": "audio_url",
                    "audio_url": {
                        {"url": "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3-ASR-Repo/asr_en.wav"}
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    ],
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

This model is also supported on vLLM with OpenAI transcription API.

import httpx
from openai import OpenAI

# Initialize client
client = OpenAI(
    base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1",
    api_key="EMPTY"
)
audio_url = "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3-ASR-Repo/asr_en.wav"
audio_file = httpx.get(audio_url).content

transcription = client.audio.transcriptions.create(
    model="Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B",
    file=audio_file,
)

print(transcription.text)

Using cURL

curl http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
    "messages": [
    {"role": "user", "content": [
        {"type": "audio_url", "audio_url": {"url": "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3-ASR-Repo/asr_en.wav"}}
    ]}
    ]
    }'

Offline Inference

See the following example on using vLLM to run offline inference with Qwen3-ASR

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
from vllm.assets.audio import AudioAsset
import base64
import requests

# Initialize the LLM
llm = LLM(
    model="Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B"
)

# Load audio
audio_asset = AudioAsset("winning_call")

# Create conversation with audio content
conversation = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {
                "type": "audio_url",
                "audio_url": {"url": audio_asset.url}
            }
        ]
    }
]

sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.01, max_tokens=256)

# Run inference using .chat()
outputs = llm.chat(conversation, sampling_params=sampling_params)
print(outputs[0].outputs[0].text)

Docker

To make it easier to use our qwen-asr Python package, we provide a pre-built Docker image: qwenllm/qwen3-asr. You only need to install the GPU driver and download the model files to run the code. Please follow the NVIDIA Container Toolkit installation guide to ensure Docker can access your GPU. If you are in Mainland China and have trouble reaching Docker Hub, you may use a registry mirror to accelerate image pulls.

First, pull the image and start a container:

LOCAL_WORKDIR=/path/to/your/workspace
HOST_PORT=8000
CONTAINER_PORT=80
docker run --gpus all --name qwen3-asr \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -p $HOST_PORT:$CONTAINER_PORT \
    --mount type=bind,source=$LOCAL_WORKDIR,target=/data/shared/Qwen3-ASR \
    --shm-size=4gb \
    -it qwenllm/qwen3-asr:latest

After running the command, you will enter the container’s bash shell. Your local workspace (replace /path/to/your/workspace with the actual path) will be mounted inside the container at /data/shared/Qwen3-ASR. Port 8000 on the host is mapped to port 80 in the container, so you can access services running in the container via http://<host-ip>:8000. Note that services inside the container must bind to 0.0.0.0 (not 127.0.0.1) for port forwarding to work.

If you exit the container, you can start it again and re-enter it with:

docker start qwen3-asr
docker exec -it qwen3-asr bash

To remove the container completely, run:

docker rm -f qwen3-asr

Evaluation

During evaluation, we ran inference for all models with dtype=torch.bfloat16 and set max_new_tokens=1024 using vLLM. Greedy search was used for all decoding, and none of the tests specified a language parameter. The detailed evaluation results are shown below.
