GGUF conversions of FireRedTeam/FireRedVAD for use with CrispStrobe/CrispASR.

Available variants

File	Variant	Size	Params	Notes
firered-vad.gguf	VAD	2.4 MB	588K	Non-streaming, lookback+lookahead

Provenance and EU AI Act Art. 53 note

• Upstream model: FireRedTeam/FireRedVAD — published by FireRedTeam.
• Upstream licence: apache-2.0. This repository redistributes under the same terms; it grants no rights the upstream licence does not.
• What was done here: format conversion and/or quantisation only (GGUF/GGML). No training, no fine-tuning, no merging, no distillation, no change to architecture, vocabulary or capability. Only the numeric representation of the upstream weights differs.
• Training data: documented — where it is documented at all — by the upstream provider; see the upstream model card. No training data was used, added or selected by this repository. No training-content summary was found on the upstream model card at the time of writing; that documentation gap is upstream's and is not filled here.
• Provider status: under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 the upstream authors remain the provider of this model. Converting the serialisation format does not make this repository the provider of a new general-purpose AI model, and no such claim is made. Questions about training content, copyright policy or model capability belong upstream.
