The main risk is upkeep, with no publisher replies or safety results.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Qwen3-ASR-0.6B\n\n1. Start it with `vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-0.6B` (vLLM v0.32.0 or later), then POST the WAV to /v1/audio/transcriptions or send an audio_url part to /v1/chat/completions\n2. For vLLM's realtime streaming, start it with `--hf-overrides '{\"architectures\":[\"Qwen3ASRRealtimeGeneration\"]}'`, which vLLM doesn't pick from config.json\n3. Split chat-completions output with `parse_asr_output` from qwen-asr, since it returns `language \u003cname\u003e\u003casr_text\u003e` before the transcript\n4. For Transformers, load Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-0.6B-hf with Transformers 5.13.0 or later and use `processor.apply_transcription_request(audio, language=..., prompt=...)`\n5. Put names and domain terms in the system message or `prompt` to bias the transcript, and force the language when you know it\n6. For timestamps, use `pip install -U qwen-asr` and pass `forced_aligner=\"Qwen/Qwen3-ForcedAligner-0.6B\"` with `return_time_stamps=True`\n7. Treat transcripts as untrusted text before passing them to another model, since speech can carry instructions\n\n### Qwen3-ASR-1.7B\n\n1. Start it with `vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B` (vLLM v0.32.0 or later), then POST the WAV to /v1/audio/transcriptions or send an audio_url part to /v1/chat/completions\n2. Split chat-completions output with `parse_asr_output` from qwen-asr, since it returns `language \u003cname\u003e\u003casr_text\u003e` before the transcript\n3. For Transformers, load Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B-hf with Transformers 5.13.0 or later and use `processor.apply_transcription_request(audio, language=..., prompt=...)`, then `decode(..., return_format=\"transcription_only\")`\n4. Put names and domain terms in the system message or `prompt` to bias the transcript, and force the language when you know it\n5. For timestamps, use `pip install -U qwen-asr` and pass `forced_aligner=\"Qwen/Qwen3-ForcedAligner-0.6B\"` with `return_time_stamps=True`\n6. Use greedy decoding and raise max_new_tokens for long audio; the report gives single recordings up to 20 minutes\n7.
