Files
| file | size | notes |
|---|---|---|
paraformer-f16.gguf |
435 MB | recommended (f16 matmul weights) |
paraformer-q8.gguf |
~217 MB | recommended — half of f16, same accuracy |

Usage
The binary prints transcription text directly (no Python detok). --ids for raw ids.
llama-funasr-paraformer -m paraformer-f16.gguf -a audio.wav --vad fsmn-vad.gguf
On CPU (8 threads): 9.85 % CER on the 184-clip Mandarin benchmark (vs whisper.cpp 22–31 %).
