let's line up this week's release plan,

the beta build can ship on Friday,

then loop in design and QA,

Why it fits

MiMo-V2.5-ASR is a state-of-the-art end-to-end automatic speech recognition model developed by the Xiaomi MiMo team. Audio first passes through the MiMo-Audio-Tokenizer, a 1.2B-parameter transformer operating at 25 Hz that uses an eight-layer residual vector quantization (RVQ) stack to produce 200 discrete tokens per second; a patch encoder then aggregates four consecutive time steps into a single patch, downsampling the sequence to a compact 6.25 Hz representation. The tokenizer was trained from scratch on a 10-million-hour corpus, jointly optimizing semantic and reconstruction objectives (huggingface.co/XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-Audio-Tokenizer). Those tokens feed an 8B-parameter transformer decoder with Flash Attention support, trained through large-scale mid-training, high-quality supervised fine-tuning, and a novel reinforcement-learning algorithm (huggingface.co/XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.5-ASR). On Xiaomi's published benchmarks the model achieves 2.52% CER on AiShell-2 and 2.41% on Fleurs-Zh for Mandarin -- leading both FunASR-1.5 and Seed-ASR 2.0 -- alongside 5.73% average WER across eight English Open ASR Leaderboard test sets with 1.45% on LibriSpeech-Clean. For Cantonese, the model scores 3.28% CER on Fleurs-Yue and 7.21% CER on a second Cantonese test set (Xiaomi's published MiMo-V2.5-ASR benchmark results). It handles code-switched Mandarin-English speech without language tags, generates punctuation natively from prosody and semantics, and is designed for noisy, multi-speaker, and overlapping-conversation scenarios. This OpenASR pack ships the q4_k build under an MIT license inherited from the upstream model, running entirely on-device via the .oasr format -- no cloud upload, no Python at inference time. OpenASR's catalog entry supports English, Cantonese, and Mandarin Chinese; the base model's broader dialect training on Wu, Hokkien, and Sichuanese provides additional architectural depth but those dialects are not shipped as supported languages in this pack.

What you can do with it

  • 🥇 State-of-the-art Mandarin accuracy — 2.52% CER on AiShell-2 and 2.41% on Fleurs-Zh, leading both FunASR-1.5 and Seed-ASR 2.0 on both benchmarks (Xiaomi's published MiMo-V2.5-ASR benchmark results)
  • 🇬🇧 Strong English recognition — 5.73% average WER across eight Open ASR Leaderboard test sets, including 1.45% WER on LibriSpeech-Clean (Xiaomi's published MiMo-V2.5-ASR benchmark results)
  • 🗣️ Cantonese and dialect depth — 3.28% CER on Fleurs-Yue for Cantonese; the underlying model is also trained on Wu, Hokkien, and Sichuanese dialects (Xiaomi's published MiMo-V2.5-ASR benchmark results; huggingface.co/XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.5-ASR)
  • 🔀 Seamless Mandarin-English code-switching — transcribes mixed-language speech with no language tags required (huggingface.co/XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.5-ASR)
  • ✍️ Native punctuation from prosody — generates punctuation directly from speech rhythm and semantics, delivering ready-to-use transcripts with no post-processing needed (huggingface.co/XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.5-ASR)
  • 🏗️ 1.2B audio tokenizer + 8B decoder pipeline — a residual vector quantization tokenizer trained on 10 million hours of audio compresses speech at 25 Hz into discrete tokens, fed into an 8B-parameter transformer decoder with Flash Attention support (huggingface.co/XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-Audio-Tokenizer; huggingface.co/XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.5-ASR)
