> **Preview-release for Fosdem 2025 with current training epochs (Training is still ongoing).**

## Overview
This is a family of low-latency streaming models designed for use on edge devices.  
**Goal**: Provide faster or higher-quality performance compared to similarly sized Whisper and other models.

- **Languages**: English, French, German (Spanish and Portuguese planned for release by **Feb 14**).

## Demos
- [**Browser Demo (CPU)**](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Banafo/Kroko-Streaming-ASR-Wasm)  
  *(Runs entirely in the browser using CPU.)*
- [**Gradio / Python Demo**](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Banafo/Kroko-Streaming-ASR-Python)

## License
The license is still under consideration (likely Coqui). The model is intended to be **dual-licensed**:
- **Free for non-commercial use**.
- **Affordable license for commercial use**.

## Training
- Training is done with a modified k2/Icefall pipeline.  
- Inference can be performed with the standard Sherpa project.
