Ported from upstream commit [a9a55e0](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/canary-1b-flash/commit/a9a55e0), pinned 2026-05-08. Validated against the NeMo reference at transcribe.cpp commit [db53eda](https://github.com/handy-computer/transcribe.cpp/tree/db53eda) on 2026-05-08. Offline multilingual speech-to-text and translation. An 883M-parameter multitask AED with a 32-layer FastConformer encoder and a 4-layer Transformer decoder. Supports automatic speech recognition in English, German, Spanish, and French, and bidirectional EN↔{DE, ES, FR} translation. Takes a 16 kHz mono WAV and produces a transcript. Not a streaming model; word/segment timestamps are upstream-experimental and not exposed in the v1 port. ## Downloads | Quantization | Download | Size | WER (LibriSpeech test-clean) | | --- | --- | ---: | ---: | | F32 | [canary-1b-flash-F32.gguf](https://huggingface.co/handy-computer/canary-1b-flash-gguf/resolve/main/canary-1b-flash-F32.gguf) | 3.3 GB | 1.62% | | F16 | [canary-1b-flash-F16.gguf](https://huggingface.co/handy-computer/canary-1b-flash-gguf/resolve/main/canary-1b-flash-F16.gguf) | 1.7 GB | 1.62% | | Q8_0 | [canary-1b-flash-Q8_0.gguf](https://huggingface.co/handy-computer/canary-1b-flash-gguf/resolve/main/canary-1b-flash-Q8_0.gguf) | 1.0 GB | 1.62% | | Q6_K | [canary-1b-flash-Q6_K.gguf](https://huggingface.co/handy-computer/canary-1b-flash-gguf/resolve/main/canary-1b-flash-Q6_K.gguf) | 818 MB | 1.65% | | Q5_K_M | [canary-1b-flash-Q5_K_M.gguf](https://huggingface.co/handy-computer/canary-1b-flash-gguf/resolve/main/canary-1b-flash-Q5_K_M.gguf) | 734 MB | 1.64% |...
