MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize: transcribe.cpp GGUF

GGUF conversions of OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize for use with transcribe.cpp.

Ported from upstream commit d7231bb, pinned 2026-07-12. Validated against the MOSS author repo (OpenMOSS/MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize) reference at transcribe.cpp commit 3f5e15c on 2026-07-12.

Offline English/Chinese speech-to-text with speaker diarization. A 0.9B audio-LLM: a Whisper-Medium encoder (24 layers, d_model=1024) feeds a 4x temporal merge + VQAdaptor bridge into a Qwen3-0.6B decoder (28 layers) via audio-token injection. The model emits [start][Sxx]text[end]; the runtime parses those generated markers into clean text and segment rows. Speaker attribution is opt-in (--diarize) and returns structured speaker ids/turns. Not a streaming model.

WER on the full LibriSpeech test-clean split (2,620 utterances), batch size 1, timestamps none. Figures without a commit were published before provenance was recorded.

Scored with the Whisper-style English text normalizer and jiwer 3.x. MOSS emits the diarized format [start][Sxx]text[end]; the bracket spans are metadata and are de-diarized to a space (for both hypothesis and reference) before scoring, matching the author-repo reference runner. These values describe this dataset only, not a general quality ranking: a quant that scores slightly better here is not necessarily better in real-world use, because dataset-specific decoding near-ties can make quantization noise help or hurt individual utterances. The same-manifest MOSS author-repo reference (bf16, greedy) lands at 2.07% with 95% bootstrap CI [1.82%, 2.40%]. The BF16 port lands at 2.08% (within +0.01 of the reference, well inside the CI band); the lower-bit presets sit between 1.93% and 1.99% (statistical noise) except Q4KM at 2.59%, whose excess is a handful of 4-bit tail failures (6 empty outputs, 5 English->Chinese language-drift utterances, 1 timestamp-token repetition loop) rather than broad degradation. Prefer Q5KM or higher if those tail failures matter. Reproduce with scripts/wer/run.py + scripts/wer/score.py --dediarize; public full_text applies equivalent marker removal.

Usage

Build transcribe.cpp from source:

bash

git clone git@github.com:handy-computer/transcribe.cpp.git
cd transcribe.cpp
cmake -B build && cmake --build build

Run on a 16 kHz mono WAV:

bash

build/bin/transcribe-cli \
  -m MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize-Q8_0.gguf \
  input.wav

If your audio isn't already 16 kHz mono WAV, convert it first:

bash

ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -ar 16000 -ac 1 output.wav

MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize

MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize 0.9B is an end-to-end audio understanding model for long-form multi-speaker transcription, diarization, timestamps, and acoustic event awareness.

Given an audio or video file, the model generates a compact speaker-aware transcript in one pass, including timestamps and anonymous speaker labels such as [S01], [S02], and beyond.

Introduction

MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize 0.9B turns real-world long-form audio into structured, speaker-aware transcripts in one pass. Instead of stitching together separate ASR and diarization systems, it jointly performs speech transcription and speaker diarization, producing time-aligned text with consistent speaker labels.

The model is built for meetings, calls, podcasts, interviews, lectures, videos, and other long or messy multi-speaker recordings. It can also emit acoustic event annotations, giving downstream systems a richer view of what happened, who spoke, and when.

Core capabilities:

—Long-form transcription: Converts long audio or video recordings into timestamped text.
—Speaker-aware diarization: Assigns anonymous speaker labels such as [S01] and [S02] without a separate diarization pipeline.
—Promptable generation: Supports custom transcription instructions, hotwords, and acoustic event annotations.

Model Architecture

Component	Specification
Text backbone	Qwen3-0.6B style causal decoder
Audio encoder	Whisper-Medium encoder configuration
Audio frontend	`WhisperFeatureExtractor`, 16 kHz, 80 mel bins, 30 s chunks
Audio-text bridge	4x temporal merge + MLP adaptor
Fusion	Audio features replace <code><\|audiopad\|></code> embeddings via `maskedscatter`
Output format	Compact `[start][Sxx]text[end]` transcript with speaker tags such as `[S01]`

This Hugging Face repository includes the custom Transformers remote code required to load the model with trust_remote_code=True.

Evaluation

We evaluate MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize using three objective metrics: Character Error Rate (CER), concatenated minimum-permutation Character Error Rate (cpCER), and Delta-cp. Lower is better for all metrics. A dash (-) indicates that the result is unavailable.

Quickstart

Environment Setup

Use a clean Python environment. The model uses custom Transformers code, so load the model and processor with trust_remote_code=True.

bash

conda create -n moss-transcribe-diarize python=3.12 -y
conda activate moss-transcribe-diarize

git clone https://github.com/OpenMOSS/MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize.git
cd MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize

pip install --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128 torch torchaudio
pip install -e .

The GitHub package provides helper utilities such as audio/video loading, transcription message construction, transcript parsing, CLI inference, and the subtitle web app. The model weights and remote-code model files are loaded from this Hugging Face repository.

Python Usage

python

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoProcessor

from moss_transcribe_diarize import parse_transcript
from moss_transcribe_diarize.inference_utils import (
    build_transcription_messages,
    generate_transcription,
    resolve_device,
)

model_id = "OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize"
audio_path = "audio.wav"

device = resolve_device("auto")
dtype = torch.bfloat16 if device.type == "cuda" else torch.float32

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    trust_remote_code=True,
    dtype="auto",
).to(dtype=dtype).to(device).eval()

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    trust_remote_code=True,
)

messages = build_transcription_messages(audio_path)
result = generate_transcription(
    model,
    processor,
    messages,
    max_new_tokens=2048,
    do_sample=False,
    device=device,
    dtype=dtype,
)

print(result["text"])

for segment in parse_transcript(result["text"]):
    print(segment.start, segment.end, segment.speaker, segment.text)

The message flow follows the common Qwen multimodal pattern:

1.processor.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False) renders text with audio placeholders.
2.The helper utilities load audio waveforms from the same messages.
3.processor(text=text, audio=audios) computes Whisper input features and expands audio placeholders.
4.model.generate(...) produces timestamped transcription and diarization text.

Custom Prompt and Hotwords

The default prompt is optimized for timestamped transcription and speaker diarization:

text

请将音频转写为文本，每一段需以起始时间戳和说话人编号（[S01]、[S02]、[S03]…）开头，正文为对应的语音内容，并在段末标注结束时间戳，以清晰标明该段语音范围。

To add hotwords, append a short hint to the default prompt:

text

请将音频转写为文本，每一段需以起始时间戳和说话人编号（[S01]、[S02]、[S03]…）开头，正文为对应的语音内容，并在段末标注结束时间戳，以清晰标明该段语音范围。热词提示：热词1, 热词2, 热词3

More prompt recipes are available in the GitHub repository: <https://github.com/OpenMOSS/MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize/blob/main/examples/prompts.md>

Serve with vLLM and SGLang

MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize supports vLLM serving through the OpenAI-compatible transcription API. Use a pinned vLLM nightly build that includes the MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize model registration. Choose one of the following commands: for CUDA 12 environments, use cu129; for CUDA 13 environments, use cu130.

bash

uv pip install -U vllm \
  --torch-backend=auto \
  --extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/68b4a1d582818e67adc903bf1b8fc5a5447da2fa/cu129

or:

bash

uv pip install -U vllm \
  --torch-backend=auto \
  --extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/68b4a1d582818e67adc903bf1b8fc5a5447da2fa/cu130

bash

vllm serve OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize --trust-remote-code

bash

curl http://localhost:8000/v1/audio/transcriptions \
  -F model="OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize" \
  -F file=@"audio.wav" \
  -F response_format="json" \
  -F temperature="0"

The recommended way to serve MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize is SGLang Omni through the OpenAI-compatible /v1/audio/transcriptions endpoint. Install sglang-omni by following the installation guide, then download the model:

bash

hf download OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize

Serve the model:

bash

sgl-omni serve \
  --model-path OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize \
  --port 8000 \
  --max-running-requests 16 \
  --cuda-graph-max-bs 16 \
  --mem-fraction-static 0.80

Use response_format=verbose_json when you need parsed speaker segments. json returns the raw transcript text only.

bash

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/v1/audio/transcriptions \
  -F model=OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize \
  -F file=@audio.wav \
  -F response_format=verbose_json

python

import requests

with open("audio.wav", "rb") as f:
    resp = requests.post(
        "http://localhost:8000/v1/audio/transcriptions",
        data={
            "model": "OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize",
            "response_format": "verbose_json",
        },
        files={"file": ("audio.wav", f, "audio/wav")},
        timeout=300,
    )

resp.raise_for_status()
payload = resp.json()
print(payload["text"])
for segment in payload.get("segments", []):
    print(f"[{segment['start']:.2f}-{segment['end']:.2f}] {segment['text']}")

For longer multi-speaker audio, raise max_new_tokens so the decoder can finish the full diarized transcript:

bash

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/v1/audio/transcriptions \
  -F model=OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize \
  -F file=@audio.wav \
  -F response_format=verbose_json \
  -F max_new_tokens=65536

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`file`	file	required	Audio file uploaded as multipart form data
`model`	string	server default	Model identifier
`language`	string	unset	Optional language hint
`response_format`	string	`json`	`json`, `verbose_json`, or `text`
`temperature`	float	model default (`0.0`)	Sampling temperature
`max_new_tokens`	int	`5120`	Max generated tokens; raise for long audio, for example `65536`
`prompt`	string	unset	Optional instruction override; omit to use the built-in transcribe+diarize prompt

For benchmarking, performance numbers, and implementation details, see the SGLang Omni cookbook. The following single-H100 results are reported for short- and long-sequence multi-speaker ASR tasks.

16	0.043	282.8	0.1237	98.83

Subtitle Web App

The source package includes a local subtitle workflow for upload, review, subtitle export, and optional FFmpeg burn-in:

bash

mtd-subtitle-web \
  --model OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize \
  --host 127.0.0.1 \
  --port 7860

Open http://127.0.0.1:7860, upload an audio/video file, review the parsed subtitle segments, then download JSON/SRT/ASS or burn an MP4 if ffmpeg and ffprobe are available on PATH.

For batch processing:

bash

mtd-subtitle /path/to/input.mp4 \
  --model OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize \
  --out-dir runs/example \
  --render

Output Format

The canonical output format is:

text

[start_time][Sxx]transcribed speech[end_time]

Example:

text

[0.48][S01]Welcome everyone[1.66][12.26][S02]The new transcription pipeline is ready for evaluation[13.81][14.36][S01]Great, include the diarization results in the report[18.76]

In this format:

—start_time and end_time are timestamps in seconds.
—[S01], [S02], and similar labels are anonymous model-generated speaker labels.
—Speaker labels are relative labels within the input audio and should not be interpreted as real speaker identities.
