Index-Translate-omni-9B-FP8

Built on the Index-Translate family, with multilingual text translation, terminology and formatting constraints, image translation, speech recognition, and bidirectional Chinese–English speech translation.

Original Index-Translate figures come from the published benchmarks. The original 35BA3B reference is the published preview checkpoint.

Speech

CER is a percentage (lower is better). BLEU and chrF2 are higher-is-better. Translation cells show BLEU / chrF2 / target CER.

Model	Chinese ASR CER ↓	English ASR CER ↓	English → Chinese	Chinese → English
Index-Translate-Omni 2B	13.8113	34.2560	36.982 / 30.357 / 43.3452	30.747 / 51.152 / 48.0670
Index-Translate-Omni 9B	17.8917	14.4097	43.507 / 36.312 / 41.3767	34.656 / 55.376 / 46.3720

35BA3B uses a separate frontend for Chinese ASR; English ASR and speech translation use the native profile. Evaluation sample counts differ across model sizes.

Image Translation

COMET22 × 100 (higher is better). Each Omni model is compared with its Qwen3.5 baseline on paired evaluated subsets.

Model	MMTIT ↑	FLORES-rendered ↑	Vistra ↑
Qwen3.5-2B	52.164	50.187	55.326
Index-Translate-Omni 2B	65.809	53.612	65.596
Qwen3.5-9B	73.814	67.804	68.963
Index-Translate-Omni 9B	77.604	68.438	71.815
Qwen3.5-35B-A3B	75.602	70.005	71.067
Index-Translate-Omni 35BA3B	77.011	69.891	71.482

35BA3B reuses the verified image scores for the same weights. Results cover the evaluated subsets; the original failure and UNKNOWN scoring rules are retained.

FP8 Export

Quantized omni translation model with language and vision weights, original BF16 audio modules, and a portable runtime.

• Language: FP8 weights with per-channel scales and dynamic per-token FP8 activations (FP8_DYNAMIC).
• Vision: original FP32 tensors, byte-identical to the assembled source.
• Audio: original BF16 audio encoder and connector, with a portable runtime.
• lm_head and token embeddings are not quantized. Linear-attention projections remain in the quantization recipe.

The included JointModel explicitly requests dequantize=True for compressed-tensors. This compatibility path uses BF16 compute after loading; it is not a claim of FP8 kernel acceleration.

Loading

Download the entire repository, including audio/ and audio-tokenizer/:

pip install -r requirements-joint.txt
python - <<'PY'
from joint_runtime import JointModel

model = JointModel('.', device_map='auto')
print(model.text_generate([{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Translate into English: 人工智能正在改变内容创作。'}]))
print(model.audio_generate('<audio>\nTranscribe the speech and translate it into English.', ['/path/to/audio.wav']))
PY

JointModel also supports image_generate(messages) with Transformers image-text messages. The runtime extracts only the required helpers from the supplied bound audio code; it does not require the original training repository. Keep the visual weights in FP32 and the audio weights in BF16.

Verification

Saved-checkpoint reload and text generation passed. The portable runtime also passed a text call, an image-description call, and one real WAV speech-to-English generation call on an H100. Text perplexity is 27.3816 over 250 held-out tokens using the reference loading mode above. These are small smoke tests, not a comprehensive translation, vision or speech-quality benchmark.

The tensor audit checked 248 quantized linear weights, 333 byte-identical visual tensors, 526 byte-identical audio tensors, and 179 byte-identical preserved language tensors. Exact outputs and limitations are in validation.json; file hashes are in SHA256SUMS.txt.

This repository does not include GGUF files; GGUF is a separate language/vision export without the end-to-end audio pipeline.
