# cohere-transcribe-03-2026-mlx-8bit
Quantized MLX weights for **beshkenadze/cohere-transcribe-03-2026-mlx-fp16**.
## Variant
- Precision: **8-bit**
- Quantization mode: `affine`
- Group size: `64`
## Files
- `model.safetensors`
- `config.json`
- `tokenizer.model`
- `tokenizer_config.json`
- `preprocessor_config.json`
- `special_tokens_map.json`
- `key_map.json`
- `conversion_summary.json`
## Repo-sample benchmark
Sample: `Tests/media/conversational_a.wav`
- Generation TPS: **352.9**
- Peak memory: **2.87 GB**
- Output: `Coffee's story likely begins in Ethiopia, where legend tells of a goat herder named Kaldi, who noticed his goats became energetic after eating red berries from a particular bush; curious, he tried them himself and felt invigorated.`
## Parity note
This checkpoint has been re-validated against the current Swift and Python MLX runtimes.
Verified semantic parity on an English fixture:
> `This is a test recording in English. I am speaking clearly at a normal speed. Please transcribe this sentence exactly as I said.`
Matched across:
- Swift MLX fp16
- Swift MLX 8-bit
- Python MLX fp16
- Python MLX 8-bit
- official CUDA reference path (`transformers` native Cohere ASR)
## Quality note
Matches fp16 on the repo sample while reducing memory substantially.
## Notes
- Generated from the Swift-compatible fp16 checkpoint `beshkenadze/cohere-transcribe-03-2026-mlx-fp16`.
- This repository contains inference artifacts only. Refer to the upstream Cohere model card and license for original model details.
