AIIndexTeam released Index-Echo-S2ST-9B-FP4, an NVFP4 (W4A4) quantization of the Index-Echo-S2ST-9B speech-to-speech translation model, with only its text LLM backbone quantized. Perplexity rose from 3.8218 to 3.9650 (+3.75%) on a fixed corpus, while zh→en and en→zh outputs were semantically equivalent, and full FP4 speedup requires an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU.
AIIndexTeam released Index-Echo-S2ST-2B-FP4, an NVFP4 (W4A4) quantized version of the Index-Echo-S2ST-2B speech-to-speech translation model, with only the text LLM backbone quantized and the audio components kept in BF16. On a fixed corpus, perplexity rose from 5.9332 to 6.4980 (+9.52%), while zh->en and en->zh generations matched the original. Full FP4 acceleration requires an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU, and the model loads via compressed-tensors in vLLM or transformers.
AIIndexTeam published an NVFP4 (W4A4) quantized version of its Index-Echo-S2TT-9B speech-to-text translation model, quantizing only the text LLM backbone while keeping the audio tower and other components in BF16. On an NVIDIA A100, perplexity rose from 3.4155 to 3.5113 (+2.81%), with zh->en and en->zh outputs semantically equivalent under greedy decoding. Full FP4 speedup requires an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU, while older GPUs get only memory reduction.
