This variant is for Mandarin-dominant audio. ## Format control Same interface as [TEA-ASR-1.1-fmt](https://huggingface.co/JacobLinCool/TEA-ASR-1.1-fmt): force the decoder prefix `language Chinese format digits<asr_text>` / `… format zh-num<asr_text>`. **Measured control strength** (multi-digit panels, `scripts/probe_numeral_flip.py`): | Panel (audio) | pair flip | `digits` compliance | `zh-num` compliance | |---|---|---|---| | CommonVoice zh-TW | 0.73 | 0.77 | 0.93 | | NTUML2021 | 0.27 | 0.43 | 0.70 | (Measured on this released checkpoint.) At 780M the dial is a **moderate bias**: strong on read Taiwan-Mandarin speech, weaker on spontaneous lecture audio; single digits and decimals follow the domain's natural convention. ## Benchmark results MER% (lower is better), same protocol as the family cards (content fold, full test splits). | Benchmark | TEA-ASR-1.1-mini-fmt | TEA-ASR-1.1-mini | Qwen3-ASR-0.6B | Breeze-ASR-25 | |---|---|---|---|---| | CommonVoice 19 (zh-TW) | 5.27 | **5.12** | 5.79 | 8.03 | | ASCEND (zh-en) | 11.25 | **11.20** | 12.54 | 17.53 | | CSZS (zh-en) | 14.83 | **12.51** | 16.03 | 12.18 | | NTUML2021 | **7.44** | 7.53 | 11.03 | 7.50 | **How to read this.** The fmt...
