VAD identifies segments of audio that contain speech versus silence or background noise. The FP16 variant targets GPU execution; the INT8 variant is in [`tonythethompson/silero-vad-int8-onnx`](https://huggingface.co/tonythethompson/silero-vad-int8-onnx). Silero VAD is language-agnostic and works across a wide range of languages. ## Runtime Notes - Designed for ONNX Runtime compatible runtimes. - Expected input: 16 kHz mono audio (Silero VAD requirement). - Execution: GPU (CUDA) preferred for FP16. Validate on the target execution provider before production use. ## Precision and Packaging Export tooling, precision, and quantization are recorded in the **Source** table above. This packaging mirror does not publish independent parity benchmarks; validate on your target execution provider before production use. ## Limitations - Requires 16 kHz mono audio input; other sample rates must be resampled. - FP16 precision may cause degraded detection on hardware that upcasts silently. - No repository-specific VAD quality benchmark is documented here. - Performance on very noisy or music-heavy audio is not evaluated here. ## License [MIT](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/) — inherited from `onnx-community/silero-vad` and the original Silero VAD model. This packaging repo adds no new license terms.
