Index-Echo-S2TT-9B-GGUF
Official GGUF conversion of the text LLM backbone (llm/) of IndexTeam/Index-Echo-S2TT-9B, part of the Index-Echo speech-to-text translation (S2TT) model family by bilibili.
Note: LLM backbone only. The audio tower, connector and speech-synthesis stack are not included - llama.cpp cannot run the full speech pipeline. For full speech-to-text translation (S2TT) inference, use the original checkpoint or the FP8 build in Index-Echo-S2TT-9B-FP8, which ships the complete pipeline with an FP8-quantized LLM.
Converted with llama.cpp (master, 2026-10); static post-training quantization, all bit-widths in this single repository.

Usage
# Run the recommended Q4_K_M directly:
llama serve -hf IndexTeam/Index-Echo-S2TT-9B-GGUF:Q4_K_M
llama cli -hf IndexTeam/Index-Echo-S2TT-9B-GGUF:Q4_K_M
Consistency validation
Before release, each quantization tier was validated on GPU (NVIDIA A100) against the F16 conversion: per-token KL divergence / RMS delta-p via llama-perplexity, plus greedy-generation spot checks against the original BF16 weights (transformers reference). Generation outputs of Q4_K_M matched the reference almost verbatim.
