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**Parakeet Unified EN 0.6B.** One English model for batch and live transcription, with a well-documented data list and an NVIDIA team that answers. It runs only in NVIDIA NeMo from a pickle-format archive, with no safetensors, GGUF or quantised build, returns plain text without timestamps, and hasn't changed since June.\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### Parakeet Unified EN 0.6B\n\n1. Load it with NeMo: `nemo_asr.models.ASRModel.from_pretrained(model_name='nvidia/parakeet-unified-en-0.6b')`, then `transcribe([path])[0].text`\n2. Loading a .nemo archive unpickles a PyTorch checkpoint, so only load it from NVIDIA's repository\n3. Send mono wav audio. English only\n4. For live audio use NeMo's chunked RNN-T streaming script with a 5.6 s left context, and pick the chunk and right context from the card's table\n5. Below 240 ms of latency accuracy drops, and at 80 ms NVIDIA recommends its nemotron-speech-streaming-en-0.6b instead\n6. If you need word timestamps, use Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Ming-3.0-asr-tiny or Parakeet Unified EN 0.6B?\n\nMing-3.0-asr-tiny scores 54.8 (C) on agent readiness against Parakeet Unified EN 0.6B's 47.5 (D), and leads in 2 of 4 scored categories.
