Cohere Transcribe OpenVINO
This repository contains an OpenVINO™ IR version of Cohere Transcribe optimized for efficient inference with the OpenVINO Runtime. The model has been exported into separate encoder, decoder, and decoder-with-past graphs to enable fast autoregressive decoding using KV-cache.
The repository includes everything required to run inference with OpenVINO, including the model IR files, tokenizer, processor configuration, and metadata.
Model Details
- Task: Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
- Framework: OpenVINO Runtime
- Model Format: OpenVINO IR (
.xml+.bin) - Supported Devices: CPU, GPU, AUTO

The model can be executed on any OpenVINO-supported device.
Performance Notes
The model uses:
- OpenVINO Runtime
- Separate encoder and decoder graphs
- KV-cache based decoding
- Decoder-with-past for efficient autoregressive generation
These optimizations significantly reduce decoding latency compared to running the full decoder at every generation step.
