Source description
Qwen3-ForcedAligner-0.6B — MLX 8-bit
8-bit quantized version of Qwen/Qwen3-ForcedAligner-0.6B for Apple Silicon inference via MLX.
Predicts word-level timestamps for audio+text pairs in a single non-autoregressive forward pass.
Model Details
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Audio encoder | 24 layers, 1024 dim, 16 heads, float16 |
| Text decoder | 28 layers, 1024 hidden, 16Q/8KV heads, 8-bit quantized (group_size=64) |
| Classify head | Linear(1024, 5000), float16 |
