Integrates the moshi crate (0.6.4, candle 0.9.1) for streaming STT.
Module + demo + custom config for kyutai/stt-1b-en_fr. Model loads
cleanly, LM forward pass advances (model_step_idx increments correctly),
but word events don't yet emit on a 10s CSM speech sample.
What works:
- moshi 0.6.4 added as dependency (candle 0.9.1, version-compatible)
- src/stt.rs wraps moshi::asr::State + moshi::lm + moshi::mimi
- Stt::load_default downloads kyutai/stt-1b-en_fr (~3 GB) from HF
- Custom config_stt_1b_en_fr() matching the released checkpoint:
d_model=2048, num_layers=16, dim_feedforward=8192 (moshi's SwiGLU
hidden = 11/4 * d_model = 5632 — verified vs safetensors), text vocab
8001/8000, audio vocab 2049, 32 codebooks, no depformer
- AsrEvent enum + From<moshi::asr::AsrMsg> conversion
- examples/stt_demo.rs streams a WAV through the pipeline
- 2 unit tests for AsrEvent conversion
What needs more work:
- Word emission: 0 words detected on 10s of clean CSM speech, even
though LM forward advances every frame. Likely culprits:
a) asr_delay_in_tokens 6 vs HF stt_config.audio_delay_seconds=0.5
(6.25 frames). Off-by-one possible.
b) Sentencepiece detok not yet wired (tokens emitted but text=None).
c) Subtle weight-key remap differences between moshi's expected
layout and the released checkpoint that don't trip a shape check.
d) renormalize/audio preprocessing mismatch.
Next step (Phase 6a polish): compare against the official
delayed-streams-modeling/scripts/stt_from_file_pytorch.py reference to
identify the missing piece. The integration framework is sound; only
the final LM-output-to-text-event step needs work.
