Listens to audio with a text instruction and answers in text, with optional spoken replies. A compact audio-language model from inclusionAI for speech recognition, spoken questions and audio understanding in Chinese and English. Ming-3.0-audio-tiny is a kit in the Productivity category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-13. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by inclusionAI ## About ### What it is Ming-3.0-audio-tiny comes from inclusionAI and handles audio together with text. You give it audio plus a text instruction, and it does speech recognition, answers spoken questions, understands sounds and reasons about audio content. It replies in text, and an optional Talker part can synthesize a spoken reply. The card puts it at 9.3B total parameters with 2.7B active per step. ### Who it suits Developers and researchers who work with Chinese or English audio, including dialects, accents and noisy recordings, and who can run custom Transformers code on a GPU. The files carry the MIT license. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Media | Transcription teams | Transcribe speech in noisy or multi-speaker recordings | Turning a panel recording into text | | Customer service | Contact-center developers | Ask questions about a recorded call | Asking what a caller wanted | | Research | Audio researchers | Test understanding of speech, sounds, scenes and music | Asking what kind of place a clip was recorded in | Anyone who only needs plain text chat can skip it, since this model is built around audio input. ### Where to use it - Python with the transformers library and the model's custom code - A Linux or similar shell setup, as the card's steps use a virtual environment - Windows, macOS or Linux with Python, for downloading the files | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Speech recognition | Developers | A transcript, with the spoken language named and a tab before the text | | Audio question answering | App builders | A text answer to a question asked in the audio | | Sound and music understanding | Researchers | Text describing the sounds, scene or music | ### How to set it up - Python and a virtual environment - The example repository, Ming-3.0-audio-flash, cloned from GitHub - The requirements file for Transformers in that repository 1. Clone the Ming-3.0-audio-flash repository from GitHub and open its folder. 2. Create a virtual environment, activate it and install the requirements with the commands below. 3. Review the repository's code before you enable trust\_remote\_code=True, as the card advises. ```bash cd Ming-3.0-audio-flash python -m venv .venv-transformers source .venv-transformers/bin/activate pip install -r requirements-transformers.txt ``` ### How to use it You run the example script with an audio file, the model name and a prompt. For speech recognition, add the asr task, a token cap and a repeat limit. ```bash python examples/transformers_audio.py examples/audio/introduce_ant_group.wav \ --model inclusionAI/Ming-3.0-audio-tiny \ --prompt "Please answer the question in the audio." ``` ```bash python examples/transformers_audio.py examples/audio/introduce_ant_group.wav \ --model inclusionAI/Ming-3.0-audio-tiny \ --task asr \ --max-new-tokens 256 \ --no-repeat-ngram-size 10 ``` | Tool | What it does | | --- | --- | | examples/transformers\_audio.py | Runs the model on an audio file | | --prompt | Gives the text instruction that goes with the audio | | --task asr | Switches to speech recognition | | --max-new-tokens | Caps how many tokens the reply can have | The validated recognition prompt asks the model to name the spoken language and put a tab between that label and the transcript. ### Example You run the first command on the bundled recording. The model hears the spoken question and writes its answer as text. ### For newcomers and experts A good first step is the first command above on the bundled example audio, since it needs no extra settings. Read the answer, then try the recognition command. The model joins an audio encoder and projector to a compact mixture-of-experts language backbone. The optional Talker turns the model's output into speech, using built-in voices or a reference voice. Set up the environment → Pass audio and a text instruction → The encoder and language model respond → Get a text answer → Optionally synthesize speech ### Good to know - License: MIT - Cost to run: none named - Data it reaches: the audio files you give it, and the download from Hugging Face - If you use a reference voice for spoken replies, use only voices you have the right to use - Hugging Face lists 8.9B parameters, while the card's table says 9.3B total ## README ````markdown # Ming-3.0-audio-tiny Listens to audio with a text instruction and answers in text, with optional spoken replies.
