moonshine-base

moonshine-ai

This is the model card for running the automatic speech recognition (ASR) models (Moonshine models) trained and released by Useful Sensors. Following Model Cards for Model Reporting (Mitchell et al.), we're providing some information about the automatic speech recognition model. More information on how these models were trained and evaluated can be found in the paper. Note, a lot of the text has been copied verbatim from the model card for the Whisper model developed by OpenAI, because both models serve identical purposes, and carry identical risks. Moonshine is supported in Hugging Face 🤗 Transformers. To run the model, first install the Transformers library. For this example, we'll also install 🤗 Datasets to load toy audio dataset from the Hugging Face Hub, and 🤗 Accelerate to reduce the model loading time:

This is the model card for the Moonshine Streaming automatic speech recognition (ASR) models trained and released by Useful Sensors. Moonshine Streaming pairs a lightweight 50~Hz audio frontend with a sliding-window Transformer encoder to deliver low-latency streaming ASR on edge-class hardware. The encoder uses bounded local attention and no positional embeddings (an "ergodic" encoder), while an adapter injects positional information before a standard autoregressive decoder. This model card follows the recommendations from Model Cards for Model Reporting (Mitchell et al.). See the paper draft in this repository for full details. Moonshine Streaming is supported by the Moonshine Voice framework for edge devices and in Hugging Face Transformers. The following example matches the standard seq2seq ASR API and uses the streaming model checkpoint:

COST EXPLORER

Great models. Clear costs.

Cost analysis

Adjust monthly token usage to compare estimated API costs.

1 M = 1 million tokens · USD
Compares base text-token rates within the same channel

Uses collected, comparable USD-per-million-token rates. Snapshots exclude cache discounts, tiers, extra reasoning output and taxes. Check current source prices.

MODEL HANDBOOK

Understand before you choose

Selection guide & FAQ
How should API prices be compared?+

Separate input, output and cache rates, then estimate the same workload. Image, audio and video rates may use items, duration or resolution rather than tokens.

Do open weights mean free commercial use?+

Not necessarily. Check each version’s license, commercial restrictions and policies. Self-hosting also incurs compute and maintenance costs.

Is the top-ranked model the best for me?+

Rankings depend on tasks, versions and methods. Compare accuracy, latency, reliability and costs on your own workload.
