Ultra-low-latency streaming ASR: 80ms chunks for real-time agent perception
nvidia/nemotron-speech-streaming-en-0.6bmixpeek://transcription@v1/nvidia_nemotron_speech_streaming_v1Overview
Nemotron Speech Streaming is NVIDIA's cache-aware streaming ASR model built on a FastConformer encoder with RNN-T decoder. It processes audio in configurable chunks down to 80ms, delivering ultra-low-latency transcription for real-time applications where batch models like Whisper are too slow.
The cache-aware architecture maintains state across chunks without re-processing previous audio, making it efficient for continuous streams. It includes automatic punctuation and capitalization. On Mixpeek, it powers real-time audio perception for agents that need to respond to live audio feeds -- call center monitoring, live meeting assistance, and streaming broadcast analysis.
Architecture
FastConformer encoder (cache-aware streaming) with RNN-T decoder. 0.6B parameters. Supports configurable chunk sizes (80ms minimum) with lookahead for accuracy-latency tradeoff. Automatic punctuation and true-casing.
Mixpeek SDK Integration
// No extractor parameter takes a Hugging Face model id (checked against
// GET /v1/discovery/extractors, which returns 13), so nemotron-speech-streaming-en-0.6b runs
// on your side and the output is upserted through POST
// /v1/namespaces/{namespace_id}/documents/upsert. On Enterprise the other
// path is to upload the weights instead: POST /v1/namespaces/{id}/models
// accepts the huggingface format and a custom plugin loads them.
