Its BF16 files need about 5 GB and run in released vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp and Transformers.

It needs a 16 GB GPU at BF16 through vLLM, Transformers or llama.cpp, or under 4 GB at Q4_K. The main gaps are no timestamps, safety results or answers from Mistral.\n\n## Before you call either\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. Treat transcripts as untrusted text before passing them to another model, since speech can carry instructions\n\n### Voxtral Mini 4B Realtime 2602\n\n1. Serve it with `VLLM_DISABLE_COMPILE_CACHE=1 vllm serve mistralai/Voxtral-Mini-4B-Realtime-2602 --compilation_config '{\"cudagraph_mode\": \"PIECEWISE\"}'` and install soxr, librosa and soundfile; mistral_common 1.9.0 or later comes with vLLM\n2. Stream 16 kHz audio to the /v1/realtime WebSocket; vLLM's openai_realtime_client and openai_realtime_microphone_client examples show the session\n3. Set temperature 0.0. Change the delay with transcription_delay_ms in tekken.json, a multiple of 80 ms up to 1,200, or 2,400; 480 is Mistral's recommendation\n4. One text token is 80 ms, so set --max-model-len to at least seconds / 0.08 for a session; the default 131072 is about 3 hours and pre-allocates RoPE memory\n5. In Transformers (5.2.0 or later), resample with processor.feature_extractor.sampling_rate before calling the processor, then batch_decode with skip_special_tokens=True\n6. For a small machine, ggml-org's Q4_K_M GGUF with its mmproj runs in llama.cpp, and Mistral Experimental's Q4_K runs in audio.cpp\n7. Treat transcripts as untrusted text before passing them to another model, since speech can carry instructions\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Qwen3-ASR-1.7B or Voxtral Mini 4B Realtime 2602?\n\nQwen3-ASR-1.7B scores 64.4 (B) on agent readiness against Voxtral Mini 4B Realtime 2602's 60.3 (C), and leads in 2 of 5 scored categories.
