Parakeet TDT-CTC 110M (Q8_0) — Solus v1
The smallest and fastest transcription model in the Solus catalogue: NVIDIA's Parakeet TDT-CTC 110M, converted to GGUF for transcribe.cpp. English only.
At 110M parameters it runs comfortably on almost any laptop and is several times faster than the 0.6B models, for a modest accuracy cost: 2.43% word error rate on LibriSpeech test-clean. Does not stream and does not translate.
Specifications
Single file: parakeet-tdt_ctc-110m-Q8_0.gguf
Quantization
Quantization performed at the Faculty of Engineering, McMaster University.
The GGUF conversion this build is derived from was produced by handy-computer, and the weights here are a byte-for-byte copy of that file — the SHA-256 above matches the upstream artifact.
