UnimeType Transliteration 2.0 0.8B — v2.1 (Long-Sentence Upgrade · MLX 6-bit)

Current Release: v2.1 (2.0-v4 Multi-Clause Long-Sentence Upgrade) · Protocol: unimetype-convert-short-v3 (100% drop-in compatible with all Transliteration-2.0 clients)

UnimeType Transliteration 2.0 0.8B (v2.1) is a specialized multilingual input-method transliteration model built on Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B. It converts Chinese Pinyin, Japanese Romaji, Romanized Hindi / Hinglish, and Arabic Arabizi into their native scripts across both short phrases and multi-clause long sentences (60–240+ chars) while preserving English technical terms, @handles, URLs, code spans, JSON literals, numbers, line breaks, and emoji in place.

⌨️ Download the UnimeType Keyboard App → (Type in-place across macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android & ChromeOS — no copy-paste or manual JSON wrapping needed)
📖 Technical Report & LM Studio Setup Guide →

Quickstart: `unimetype-convert-short-v3` JSON Protocol (LM Studio / `llama.cpp` / `mlx_lm`)

Important for LM Studio / Ollama / GGUF Users: This model is a deterministic IME transliteration engine, not a general chat bot. Pass a single-line compact JSON object as the user message (with empty System Prompt and temperature: 0.0), or use the UnimeType Keyboard App which formats requests and replaces text in-place automatically.

Language	`user` Message JSON (`content`)	Direct `assistant` Output
Chinese Pinyin (`zh`)	`{"operation":"convert","input":"qing xian zai staging huanjing pao yi bian suoyou unit test, queren API latency meiyou shenggao zhi hou, women zai anpai production deploy","enabled_languages":["chinese","english"],"primary_language":"chinese"}`	`请先在 staging 环境跑一遍所有 unit test, 确认 API latency 没有升高之后, 我们再安排 production deploy`
Japanese Romaji (`ja`)	`{"operation":"convert","input":"staging kankyou de atarashii API endpoint no dousa wo kakunin shite kara, mondai ga nakereba ban-gohan no ato ni production deploy shimasu","enabled_languages":["english","japanese"],"primary_language":"japanese","japanese_output_style":"natural"}`	`staging 環境で新しい API endpoint の動作を確認してから, 問題がなければ晩ご飯の後に production deploy します`
Hindi Hinglish (`hi`)	`{"operation":"convert","input":"maine GitHub par naya PR open kar diya hai, aap ek baar code review kar lijiye, phir hum shaam ko staging server par deploy karenge","enabled_languages":["english","hindi"],"primary_language":"hindi"}`	`मैंने GitHub पर नया PR open कर दिया है, आप एक बार code review कर लीजिए, फिर हम शाम को staging server पर deploy करेंगे`
Arabic Arabizi (`ar`)	`{"operation":"convert","input":"ana 7a2a3od fel office l7ad el sa3a 8 3ashan a5allas el deployment, law 3andak ay update eb3atli 3ala Slack aw WhatsApp","enabled_languages":["arabic","english"],"primary_language":"arabic"}`	`أنا هقعد في ال office لحد الساعة 8 عشان أخلص ال deployment, لو عندك أي update ابعتلي على Slack أو WhatsApp`

What's New in `v2.1` (Long-Sentence Upgrade)

Multi-Clause Long-Sentence Mastery (v2.0 → v2.1): Trained on a balanced curriculum where 67.2% of training inputs are multi-clause sentences (60–240 chars, 2–5 clauses, max_seq_len=1024) covering spaced, phrase-grouped, and unspaced romanization, bilingual technical code-switching, protected placeholders, multiline layouts, and Another (reconvert) cycling:
- 0.8B (v2.0 → v2.1): Multi-clause strict pass up 13× (0.6% → 8.1%), long-sentence character accuracy 69.2% → 76.5% (ja +11.9%, ar +9.2%), and standard 414-case benchmark up from 66.4% (275/414) to 72.7% (301/414), surpassing DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (70.5%).
- 4B (v2.0 → v2.1): Multi-clause strict pass up from 20.0% (32/160) to 28.8% (46/160, 29.4% normalized), long-sentence character accuracy 90.4% → 93.21% (all 4 languages >90.9%), contract violations cut by -76.9% (13 → 3), and standard 414-case benchmark up from 87.4% (362/414) to 88.4% (366/414) (ja 61.5% → 76.9%).
Unconditional Non-Thinking Generation Template: Ships with an unconditional non-thinking chat_template.jinja (<|im_start|>assistant\n<think>\n\n</think>\n\n) across all formats (MLX 6-bit, BF16 Safetensors, and GGUF), preventing Thinking Process: token waste or truncation in LM Studio, mlx-lm, and llama.cpp.
