 VibeVoice ASR is an offline ASR model with greedy, sampling, and beam-search decode paths. It can return transcription text and structured segment/speaker-turn output when the model produces timestamps.
 
+A fully quantized port of the same model — INT8 activations through the encoder,
+ternary BitNet weights in the decoder — lives under community models as
+`vibeasr`: see [VibeASR](community_models/vibeasr.md). It is not a separate
+model, only a CPU-only alternative numeric pipeline for the same weights.
