It needs one CUDA GPU with about 21 GB and runs only through the publisher's remote code or SGLang-Omni's main branch. The main risk is running the publisher's Python on load, with no safety results.\n\n**Ming-3.0-audio-tiny.** A small MIT-licensed audio-language model that transcribes Chinese and English, answers questions about audio and replies in a built-in or cloned voice. It needs about 25 GB and SGLang-Omni from main or inclusionAI's own vLLM-Omni and SGLang branches. The main risk is that every loading path runs repository code, with nothing published on safety.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Ming-3.0-asr-tiny\n\n1. Start it with `hf download inclusionAI/Ming-3.0-asr-tiny --local-dir Ming-3.0-asr-tiny`, then `pip install -r requirements.txt` in Python 3.12 with CUDA (Transformers 5.12.1, fla-core 0.5.2, PyTorch 2.11.0), then `python examples/transcribe.py --model . --audio speech.wav --language-hint en`\n2. To serve it, `sgl-omni serve --model-path inclusionAI/Ming-3.0-asr-tiny` from SGLang-Omni's main branch, then POST the WAV to /v1/audio/transcriptions with response_format json and read the text field\n3. Parse raw Transformers output with decode_transcript from asr_request.py, which strips the language label before the tab\n4. Pass language zh or en when known, anything else is rejected, and append a topic or hotwords to the base instruction with no newline\n5. Load with dtype torch.bfloat16 rather than casting the model, use greedy decoding, max_new_tokens 256 and no_repeat_ngram_size 10, and don't apply the chat template\n6. Split long recordings yourself or use --audio-chunk-frames, since input and output share 8,192 tokens\n7. Treat transcripts as untrusted text before passing them to another model, since speech can carry instructions\n\n### Ming-3.0-audio-tiny\n\n1. Fastest start is SGLang-Omni from main, `sgl-omni serve --model-path inclusionAI/Ming-3.0-audio-tiny --talker.gpu 0`, which exposes OpenAI-style /v1/audio/transcriptions, /v1/audio/speech and /v1/chat/completions\n2. For transcripts use greedy decoding with 10-gram blocking and the validated ASR prompt, and expect a language label, a tab, then the text\n3. Parse tool calls yourself from `\u003ctool_call\u003ename` with `\u003carg_key\u003e` and `\u003carg_value\u003e` pairs, since no runtime parser is named\n4. Thinking is off by default, turn it on with chat_template_kwargs enable_thinking true and strip the `\u003cthink\u003e` block from the reply yourself\n5. In vLLM-Omni pick a voice with audio.voice id from docs/voices.md, and don't combine it with a reference recording\n6. Review the repository's Python before passing trust_remote_code, and consider deleting the __pycache__ folders under talker/ so only readable source runs\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Ming-3.0-asr-tiny or Ming-3.0-audio-tiny?\n\nMing-3.0-asr-tiny scores 52.5 (D) on agent readiness against Ming-3.0-audio-tiny's 49.8 (D), and leads in 2 of 4 scored categories.
