+# Parakeet TDT-CTC-110M
+
+FluidAudio supports NVIDIA's Parakeet TDT-CTC-110M hybrid model for fast, accurate batch transcription on Apple devices.
+
+## Overview
+
+Parakeet TDT-CTC-110M is a hybrid Token-and-Duration Transducer (TDT) model with CTC-constrained decoding. The CoreML conversion provides:
+
+- **Fused preprocessor+encoder** for reduced memory footprint and faster loading
+- **96.5x real-time factor** on Apple Silicon (M2)
+- **3.01% WER** on LibriSpeech test-clean
+- **iOS compatible** with full ANE optimization
+- **Stateless processing** - no encoder state carryover needed
+
+## Benchmark Results
+
+Tested on Apple M2 with LibriSpeech test-clean (full dataset):
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Files processed | 2,620 |
+| **Average WER** | **3.01%** |
+| **Median WER** | **0.0%** |
+| Average CER | 1.09% |
+| **Overall RTFx** | **96.5x** |
+| **Median RTFx** | **86.4x** |
+| Processing time | 201.5s (~3.4 minutes) |
+| Audio duration | 19,452.5s (~5.4 hours) |
+
+**Performance:** 1 hour of audio transcribes in **37 seconds** on M2 Mac.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```swift
+import FluidAudio
+
+// Create manager
+let manager = AsrManager()
+
+// Load models (auto-downloads from HuggingFace if needed)
+let models = try await AsrModels.downloadAndLoad(version: .tdtCtc110m)
+try await manager.initialize(models: models)
+
+// Transcribe audio file
+let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: "audio.wav")
+let result = try await manager.transcribe(url)
+print("Transcript: \(result.text)")
+
+// Or transcribe audio samples directly
+let samples: [Float] = ... // 16kHz mono audio
+let result = try await manager.transcribe(samples)
+print("Transcript: \(result.text)")
+```
+
+### Streaming Processing
+
+```swift
+import FluidAudio
+
+let manager = AsrManager()
+let models = try await AsrModels.downloadAndLoad(version: .tdtCtc110m)
+try await manager.initialize(models: models)
+
+// Process live microphone audio
+for audioChunk in microphoneStream {
+    let result = try await manager.transcribe(audioChunk, source: .microphone)
+    print("Partial: \(result.text)")
+}
+
+// Reset state between utterances
+manager.resetState()
+```
+
+### Manual Model Loading
+
+```swift
+// Specify custom cache directory
+let cacheDir = FileManager.default.urls(for: .cachesDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0]
+    .appendingPathComponent("MyAppModels")
+
+let models = try await AsrModels.downloadAndLoad(
+    to: cacheDir,
+    version: .tdtCtc110m
+)
+try await manager.initialize(models: models)
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Model Overview
+
+TDT-CTC-110M uses a hybrid architecture combining:
+- **TDT (Token-and-Duration Transducer)** for accurate token prediction
+- **CTC (Connectionist Temporal Classification)** for beam search constraints
+- **Fused preprocessor+encoder** for efficiency
+
+**Key differences from v2/v3:**
+- **1 decoder LSTM layer** (vs 2 in v2/v3)
+- **110M parameters** (vs 600M in v2/v3)
+- **Fused preprocessor+encoder** (single CoreML model)
+- **Faster loading** (19.9s cold start vs 30s+ for v3)
+
+### Pipeline Workflow
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│                    TDT-CTC-110M PIPELINE                         │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+
+1. AUDIO CHUNKING
+   Full audio → overlapping chunks (~14.96s chunk, 2.0s overlap)
+
+2. FUSED PREPROCESSOR+ENCODER (per chunk)
+   audio [239,360 samples] → encoded [1, 931, 512]
+   - Preprocessor: audio → mel spectrogram (80 bins)
+   - Encoder: mel → acoustic features (512-dim)
+   - Both fused in single CoreML model for efficiency
+
+3. DECODER (prediction network, 1 LSTM layer)
+   previous_token + hidden_state → decoder_out [1, 1, 512]
+   - Maintains LSTM state: hidden [1, 1, 512], cell [1, 1, 512]
+   - Initial token: blank (1023)
+   - State resets per chunk (stateless processing)
+
+4. JOINT NETWORK
+   encoder_step [512] + decoder_out [512] → logits [1024]
+   - Combines acoustic and linguistic features
+   - Outputs token probabilities
+
+5. TDT DECODER (beam search with CTC)
+   logits → tokens with durations
+   - Beam size: 10
+   - CTC-constrained beam search
+   - Outputs: tokens, durations, scores
+
+6. DETOKENIZATION
+   tokens → text
+   - Uses parakeet_vocab.json (1024 tokens)
+   - Handles BPE subword units
+```
+
+### Chunk Processing Strategy
+
+**Stateless per-chunk decoding:**
+- Each chunk processed independently
+- Decoder state resets at chunk boundaries
+- No encoder state carryover needed
+- Simpler than streaming models (Nemotron, Parakeet EOU)
+
+**Chunking parameters:**
+```swift
+let chunkSamples = 239_360        // ~14.96s at 16kHz
+let overlapSamples = 32_000       // 2.0s overlap
+let samplesPerWindow = 16         // 1ms per window
+```
+
+**Overlap handling:**
+- 2s overlap between chunks reduces boundary errors
+- Overlapping regions discarded during final merge
+- Ensures smooth transcription across chunk boundaries
+
+## Code Workflow
+
+### 1. Model Loading (`AsrModels.downloadAndLoad`)
+
+```swift
+// Sources/FluidAudio/ASR/AsrModels.swift
+public static func downloadAndLoad(version: AsrModelVersion) async throws -> AsrModels
+
+Flow:
+1. Check cache directory for models
+2. Download from HuggingFace if missing:
+   - Preprocessor.mlmodelc (fused with encoder for tdtCtc110m)
+   - Decoder.mlmodelc
+   - JointDecision.mlmodelc
+   - parakeet_vocab.json
+3. Compile .mlpackage → .mlmodelc if needed
+4. Load CoreML models into memory
+5. Return AsrModels struct
+```
+
+### 2. Manager Initialization (`AsrManager.initialize`)
+
+```swift
+// Sources/FluidAudio/ASR/AsrManager.swift
+public func initialize(models: AsrModels) async throws

+2. Load CoreML models:
+   - preprocessorModel (fused preprocessor+encoder)
+   - decoderModel (prediction network, 1 layer)
+   - jointModel (joiner network)
+3. Initialize decoder states:
+   - microphoneDecoderState (1 layer for tdtCtc110m)
+   - systemDecoderState (1 layer for tdtCtc110m)
+4. Load vocabulary from parakeet_vocab.json
+5. Initialize TDT decoder with beam_size=10
+```
+
+### 3. Transcription (`AsrManager.transcribe`)
+
+```swift
+// Sources/FluidAudio/ASR/AsrManager.swift
+public func transcribe(_ samples: [Float], source: AudioSource = .file) async throws -> ASRResult
+
+Flow:
+1. Select decoder state based on source:
+   - .microphone → microphoneDecoderState
+   - .systemAudio → systemDecoderState
+   - .file → fresh state per call
+
+2. Process via ChunkProcessor:
+   → ChunkProcessor.processAudioChunks()
+```
+
+### 4. Chunk Processing (`ChunkProcessor.processAudioChunks`)
+
+```swift
+// Sources/FluidAudio/ASR/ChunkProcessor.swift
+static func processAudioChunks() async throws -> ASRResult
+
+Flow for each chunk:
+1. Extract chunk samples with overlap
+2. Run fused preprocessor+encoder:
+   samples → encoded frames [1, 931, 512]
+3. Initialize chunk decoder state (1 layer)
+4. Run TDT beam search:
+   - For each encoder frame:
+     a. Get decoder prediction
+     b. Run joint network
+     c. Compute logits
+   - Beam search with CTC constraint
+   - Output: tokens, durations, scores
+5. Store TokenWindow results
+6. Move to next chunk
+
+After all chunks:
+7. Merge overlapping chunks (discard overlap regions)
+8. Detokenize merged tokens → text
+9. Return ASRResult
+```
+
+### 5. TDT Beam Search (`TdtDecoder.decode`)
+
+```swift
+// Sources/FluidAudio/ASR/TDT/TdtDecoder.swift
+func decode(encodedAudio: MLMultiArray, decoderState: inout TdtDecoderState) throws -> [TokenWindow]
+
+Flow:
+1. Initialize beam with blank token (1023)
+2. For each encoder frame (931 frames):
+   a. Expand beam:
+      - Run decoder LSTM for each hypothesis
+      - Run joint network: encoder + decoder → logits
+   b. Get top-k tokens per hypothesis
+   c. Score new hypotheses
+   d. Prune beam to size 10
+3. Select best hypothesis
+4. Extract tokens with durations
+5. Return TokenWindow array
+```
+
+### 6. Detokenization (`Detokenizer.detokenize`)
+
+```swift
+// Sources/FluidAudio/ASR/Detokenizer.swift
+static func detokenize(tokens: [Int], vocabulary: [String]) -> String
+
+Flow:
+1. Map token IDs → vocabulary strings
+2. Concatenate subword units
+3. Handle BPE merge rules
+4. Return final text
+```

+
+**Total size:** ~407MB (vs ~700MB for v3)
+
+### Model Inputs/Outputs
+
+**Preprocessor (fused with encoder):**
+```
+Input:  samples [239,360] (14.96s @ 16kHz)
+Output: encoded [1, 931, 512] (acoustic features)
+```
+
+**Decoder:**
+```
+Inputs:
+  - tokens [1, 1] (previous token)
+  - hidden_state [1, 1, 512]
+  - cell_state [1, 1, 512]
+Outputs:
+  - decoder_out [1, 1, 512]
+  - hidden_state_out [1, 1, 512]
+  - cell_state_out [1, 1, 512]
+```
+
+**Joint:**
+```
+Inputs:
+  - encoder_frame [1, 1, 512]
+  - decoder_out [1, 1, 512]
+Output:
+  - logits [1, 1, 1024]
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Decoder Layer Count
+
+TDT-CTC-110M uses **1 decoder LSTM layer** (vs 2 in v2/v3):
+
+```swift
+// Sources/FluidAudio/ASR/AsrModels.swift
+public var decoderLayers: Int {
+    switch self {
+    case .tdtCtc110m: return 1
+    default: return 2  // v2, v3
+    }
+}
+```
+
+This reduces model size and improves inference speed while maintaining competitive accuracy.
+
+### TDT Decoder Settings
+
+```swift
+// Sources/FluidAudio/ASR/TDT/TdtDecoder.swift
+let beamSize = 10                    // Beam search width
+let blankId = 1023                   // Blank token ID
+let encoderHiddenSize = 512          // Encoder output dim
+let decoderHiddenSize = 512          // Decoder hidden dim
+```
+

+## Configuration
+
+- Model: Parakeet TDT-CTC-110M (CoreML)
+- Architecture: Hybrid TDT-CTC with fused preprocessor+encoder
+- Platform: Apple Silicon (M2)
+- Date: March 26, 2026
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **96.5x real-time factor** - 1 hour of audio transcribes in 37 seconds
+- **3.01% WER** - Competitive accuracy on LibriSpeech test-clean
+- **0% median WER** - Most files transcribed perfectly
+- **iOS compatible** - Runs on iPhone with full CoreML optimization
+- **Stateless processing** - No encoder state carryover needed
+
+## Running the Benchmark
+
+```bash
+# Build release
+swift build -c release
+
+# Run full benchmark (auto-downloads dataset and models)
+.build/release/fluidaudiocli asr-benchmark --subset test-clean --model-version tdt-ctc-110m
+
+# Run with limited files
+.build/release/fluidaudiocli asr-benchmark --subset test-clean --model-version tdt-ctc-110m --max-files 100
+
+# Process single file
+.build/release/fluidaudiocli asr-benchmark --single-file 1089-134686-0000 --model-version tdt-ctc-110m
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- TDT (Token-and-Duration Transducer) decoder with CTC-constrained beam search
+- Fused preprocessor+encoder reduces model load time and memory usage
+- Models available at: [FluidInference/parakeet-tdt-ctc-110m-coreml](https://huggingface.co/FluidInference/parakeet-tdt-ctc-110m-coreml)
