Qwen3-0.6B-EasyLanguage (4-bit, MLX)

LoRA fine-tune of Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B that rewrites live speech transcripts into easy-to-read registers across 20 language locales — German (Leichte Sprache), French (FALC), English (Easy/Plain English), Spanish (Lectura Fácil), Easy-to-Read Arabic (Inclusion Europe / Information for All), Letlæst (Inclusion Europe ETR), and more — for the Live Linguist on-device captioner. Each locale follows its own national / European Easy-to-Read or plain-language standard. Quantized to 4-bit for Apple-silicon inference via MLX.

It splits run-ons into short sentences, drops disfluencies, keeps names/numbers, and stays in the input language. Trained on a lean prompt (no few-shots) so the register is internalized — shorter prompts, lower live-caption latency.

Usage (MLX)

from mlx_lm import load, generate
model, tok = load("ndgold/Qwen3-0.6B-EasyLanguage-4bit")
msgs = [{"role":"system","content":"<framework system prompt>"},
        {"role":"user","content":"Original: <utterance>\nRewritten:"}]
p = tok.apply_chat_template(msgs, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=False, enable_thinking=False)
print(generate(model, tok, prompt=p, max_tokens=96))
