Sori-1B-MCQ

by Seonuk Kim snkii/Sori-1B-MCQ

Sori-1B-MCQ is a model for audio text to text from Seonuk Kim, released under other (access requested at publisher). It has 1.1B parameters. At 16-bit it needs about 2.5 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index.

Sori-1B-MCQ — sori (소리) is Korean for sound — listens to a clip and answers typed questions about it: which of these options, how far along this scale, is this true.

Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context; a long context needs more. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the SAVRN Index, read Oct 14, 2026.

Model Card

Sori-1B-MCQ — sori (소리) is Korean for sound — listens to a clip and answers typed questions about it: which of these options, how far along this scale, is this true. It returns the answer, a probability for every option you defined, and a confidence — never prose, never a token stream to parse. Code stays in charge: your program defines the options, reads the numbers and decides what to do. It is the decision model of the Sori Agent project at the Human Interface Lab, Seoul National University. Inspired by TypeSafe's System One model, Jev. Jev showed what a model built for software rather than for conversation looks like: a state, typed questions, calibrated probabilities, one call for many…

Questions About Sori-1B-MCQ

How much GPU memory does Sori-1B-MCQ need?

About 2.5 GB at 16-bit and 0.6 GB at 4-bit: the weights (1.1B parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run Sori-1B-MCQ on?

At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.

What license is Sori-1B-MCQ released under?

other, as its publisher declares it. Read the license text before commercial use.

MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize-HF

Ita Zaporozhets

MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize 0.9B is an end-to-end audio understanding model for long-form multi-speaker transcription, diarization, timestamps, and acoustic event awareness. It supports transcription and diarization across 50+ languages, single-pass inference on audio recordings up to 90 minutes long, and custom hotword prompting for domain-specific terms. Given an audio or video file, the model generates a compact speaker-aware transcript in one pass, including timestamps and anonymous speaker labels such as [S01], [S02], and beyond. 2026-07-22: The subtitle Web UI now supports both Simplified Chinese and English. 2026-07-14: MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize won first place in the 2nd MLC-SLM Challenge…

Trained with the same recipe as the Qwen3-32B connectors released with the paper. The connector was trained with SmolLM3's no-think format (an empty block before the answer). The tokenizer in this repository carries that chat template; SmolLM3's default template adds a long system prompt with today's date and would not match.

Aural-One-E2B

Paras Sharma

Native audio in, structured decisions out. Aural One adapts Gemma 4 E2B to score supplied choices from a recording, a written state, and named questions. One model handles the audio and the decision; its inference path does not require speech-to-text or a separate sound classifier. This v0.1.0 research preview publishes a frozen adapter and 54.3 million updated acoustic/projection weights. The pinned Gemma 4 E2B base is downloaded separately. The language model was frozen during this final training stage. These numbers have different test scopes. The full evaluation report covers the frozen reference, listener-vote cross-entropy and calibration, same-words contrasts, sound events…
