Nemotron 3.5 ASR Streaming 0.6B — ONNX FP32 (CPU, opset 24, chunk 1.12s)
Full-precision FP32 ONNX model converted from NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 ASR Streaming 0.6B to native ONNX opset 24 for CPU inference with ONNX Runtime GenAI.
Streaming chunk size: 1.12s — maximum encoder context — best accuracy for multilingual / code-switched audio.

Requirements
- ONNX Runtime ≥ 1.25 (opset 24 support on CPU).
- Tested with
Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime 1.25.1+Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntimeGenAI 0.14.1.
Quick Start
C# / .NET
using NemotronSpeech;
using var session = new ModelSession(
modelPath: "path/to/this/model",
executionProvider: "cpu",
langId: null,
useVad: false);
CLI
NemotronSpeech.exe <model_path> <audio_file> cpu
NemotronSpeech.exe <model_path> --mic cpu --language en
Choosing a chunk size
| Chunk | Latency | Encoder context | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.08s / 0.16s | Lowest | Minimal | Ultra-low-latency dictation |
| 0.56s | Balanced | 70 frames | Recommended default (NVIDIA) |
| 1.12s | Higher | 140 frames | Best accuracy, code-switching, multilingual |
Larger windows give the encoder more context, which improves WER — especially noticeable for quantized (INT4) builds and code-switched / multilingual audio.
