About
This repository contains a self-contained Q8_0 export of
SenseVoiceSmall for the
audio.cpp spec-backed runtime. The GGUF
embeds the sense_asr schema-v1 model specification, SenseVoice metadata,
SentencePiece vocabulary, CMVN tensors, and 919 model tensors. It loads
directly without --model-spec-override.

The integration is tracked in audio.cpp pull request #218.
The model was exported from FunAudioLLM/SenseVoiceSmall revision
3847d57b6bdf2dd8875cb1508d2af43d80a16bf7 with the official
runtime/llama.cpp/export_sensevoice_gguf.py exporter using --wtype q8_0
and --model-spec.
On the official 5.616-second Mandarin sample, direct CPU inference produced:
开饭时间早上9点至下午5点。
The text exactly matched the original Q8 model loaded with an external model specification.

How it works
Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys sensevoicesmall-audiocpp for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (sensevoicesmall-audiocpp below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/audio/transcriptions \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \ -F model="sensevoicesmall-audiocpp" -F file=@audio.mp3
