These models, available in 220M and 600M parameter variants, have been pre-trained on over 2 million hours of speech data spanning more than 70 languages. They are fine-tuned for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and offer top-tier open-source performance for Russian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Uzbek, with moderate performance for English. AI

IMPACT Provides high-quality open-source ASR models for underrepresented languages, potentially accelerating research and development in those regions.
