📝 Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added optional JSON output for ASR transcriptions, including audio and transcription durations.
Added validation workflows for Parakeet and Nemotron that compare native CLI results with NeMo or a supplied transcript, with optional WER thresholds.
Added dedicated export and usage guides for both models.
Changes
Python inference bindings, dataset evaluation and plotting, and model quantization tools are no longer available.
ASR model export dependencies and build configuration have been updated.
The ASR build and export workflows now use shared C++ and Python helpers with model-specific Parakeet and Nemotron exporters and validators. The change adds JSON output and WER validation, removes former RNNT Python tools and bindings, and updates build, dependency, and documentation configuration.
Changes: ASR tooling restructure
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Shared ASR CLI and utilities asr/common/*, asr/whisper/CMakeLists.txt, asr/whisper/whisper.h, tests/asr_cli/*
Shared file, path, float-reading, and timing helpers move into asr/common. The CLI adds JSON transcript output and directs timing statistics to stderr in JSON mode. CLI tests cover output, timestamp validation, and inference failures.
Shared NeMo export and validation common/model_export/nemo_export.py, common/model_export/requirements-nemo.txt, common/model_export/validate_asr.py, tests/model_export/test_validate_asr.py
Shared helpers load and configure NeMo models. The validator runs the native CLI, compares normalized transcripts against a NeMo reference or supplied transcript, and can enforce a WER threshold. Tests cover output and validation errors.
Parakeet export and validation asr/parakeet/*
The exporter uses shared NeMo utilities, writes tokenizer artifacts, and updates graph-name validation. ModelOpt restoration and ONNX INT4 options are removed. The change adds a reference validator, C++ targets, requirements, and usage documentation.
Nemotron export and validation asr/nemotron/*
The exporter uses shared NeMo utilities and adds prompt, language, tokenizer, and model-configuration helpers. ModelOpt checkpoint restoration is removed. The change adds a reference validator, C++ targets, requirements, and usage documentation.
Remove RNNT tools and packaging asr/rnnt/*, pyproject.toml
The former RNNT bindings, Python inference packages, validation and quantization tools, plotting utility, and related tests are deleted. Python project configuration removes their scripts, dependencies, and build settings.
Build and export workflow wiring CMakeLists.txt, .github/workflows/export-nvidia-asr-model.yml, README.md
Top-level CMake configures the shared ASR components, CLI tests, and model-specific targets. The export workflow tracks and invokes the model-specific exporters. The supported-model links point to model-specific READMEs.
JSON transcription can silently omit requested timestamps, and some exported Parakeet tokenizers can fail when loaded. These bounded issues warrant owner awareness or fixes before relying on those paths.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title names the two main themes of the changeset: the simplification of the RNNT ASR samples and the removal of the Python inference bindings. The changeset deletes the asr/rnnt Python packages, the nanobind bindings, and the rnnt CMake build, and adds standalone parakeet and nemotron CMake targets, model-export scripts, and a common ASR CLI with JSON output. The title is specific and matches the primary change, though it does not mention the new common CLI or the JSON output flag.
Full details: Docstring Coverage
Explanation
Docstring coverage is 7.50% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 40 functions across 13 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)
Resolution
Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The author provided no pull request description. The check is lenient, and the description is absent rather than off-topic or vague, so it does not fail the check. The objectives indicate the PR is a draft with no further description, so the absence of a description is the only gap.
Resolution
Add a short description that explains the removal of the asr/rnnt Python bindings and packages, the move of the Parakeet and Nemotron samples into their own directories, the new common ASR CLI with its --json flag, and the validation steps that were run.

Ensure the tokenizer.tokenizer.save path is used only if it produces the JSON
schema expected by the C++ Tokenizer; otherwise reject it as well.
- Line 83: After `model.change_attention_model` replaces the attention modules,
move the model to the configured `device` and cast it to the configured `dtype`
so the replacement weights match the encoder activations.

Review comments at @pyproject.toml:
- Line 37: Update the installation guidance in require_modelopt() so it no
longer recommends the obsolete quantization extra, or restore an extra that
installs nvidia-modelopt; ensure following the displayed instruction satisfies

Do not silently discard requested timestamps.
When a caller uses --json --timestamps token, this branch returns success but omits every token timestamp. Parakeet also loses its segment output in JSON mode. Include the requested timestamps in the JSON result, or reject unsupported combinations before transcription. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Fail instead of writing non-JSON content to tokenizer.json.
Only the first branch at Line 343 writes JSON. The three fallback branches write other formats under the name tokenizer.json:
tokenizer.save_to(...) on a NeMo tokenizer typically writes a SentencePiece or vocabulary artifact.
The vocab_path branch copies the raw file bytes.
A .tokenizer.save(...) target is not guaranteed to write the JSON shape that the C++ runtime expects.
The exporter then reports success. The C++ pipeline loads model_dir / "tokenizer.json" at runtime (asr/parakeet/parakeet_tdt.cpp:221-230). It fails there with a parse error, far from the cause.
Remove the fallbacks and keep the explicit RuntimeError. If a fallback is needed, convert its output to the JSON schema that the C++ Tokenizer reads.
