Architecture

Input: 16kHz PCM → 60-dim mel fbank (SpeechBrain STFT, n_fft=400)
       → Sentence-level mean normalization
       → Block0: Conv1d(60→1024, k=5) + ReLU + BN
       → Block1-3: SE-Res2Net (1024 channels, 8 sub-bands, dilations 2/3/4)
       → MFA: concatenate block1-3 outputs → Conv1d(3072→3072, k=1) + ReLU + BN
       → ASP: Attentive Statistical Pooling → [6144]
       → BN + FC(6144→256) → embedding
       → Classifier: BN → Linear(256→512) + BN + LeakyReLU → Linear(512→107)

• What was done here: format conversion and/or quantisation only (GGUF). No training, no fine-tuning, no merging, no distillation, no change to architecture, vocabulary or capability. Only the numeric representation of the upstream weights differs.
