canary-1b-flash (Vokra GGUF)

Converted to the Vokra GGUF format for Vokra, a zero-dependency speech-AI inference runtime.

This is a conversion, not a new model. The weights are the upstream ones; Vokra re-packages them so its runtime can memory-map them directly. Credit for the model belongs upstream — see Source below.

Licence

The weights are distributed under cc-by-4.0, unchanged from upstream. Conversion does not alter the licence, and your obligations run to the upstream author.

Attribution required

This application uses NVIDIA Canary-1B-Flash (multilingual multi-task ASR / AST — English / German / French / Spanish; FastConformer encoder + Transformer AED decoder — the flash-tuned variant of Canary-1B-v2 with a shrunk 4-layer decoder for 1000+ RTFx inference). Model weights are licensed under CC-BY 4.0 (attribution required; commercial use permitted). Copyright (c) NVIDIA. Source: https://huggingface.co/nvidia/canary-1b-flash

This licence obliges you to display the attribution above when you ship something built on these weights. Vokra surfaces it at runtime via vokra_model_attribution (C ABI) and a CLI banner.
