Surogate Speech is out 🐇 small open speech models for agents, the speech side of Surogate.
First language shipped is Romanian, and the numbers came out better than I expected: 5.69% WER on FLEURS with a 116M model. Canary 1B gets 5.95% on the same clips, Whisper large-v3 8.42%. Leaderboard runner, one RTX 5090.
What's in it:
🎧 jackrabbit-110m-ro: speech recognition, 2,500× real time on one GPU
⚡ jackrabbit-110m-ro-streaming: live, final text about 0.7 s after you stop talking
🗣️ amami-357m-ro: TTS with three voices, runs on a CPU
Serving is one line with our engine: surogate serve --stt surogate/jackrabbit-110m-ro
Transcripts for every clip are public if you want to rescore it.
