Quick Start

Open In Colab

No local setup? Open the Colab quickstart to transcribe a public sample or upload your own audio in a browser.

Found FunASR useful? Star the project so more builders can find it.

# CPU-only installs can use the default PyPI wheels.
pip install torch torchaudio
pip install funasr

For GPU quickstarts, install the PyTorch and torchaudio wheels that match your NVIDIA driver from pytorch.org before installing FunASR. After installation, confirm the GPU is visible:

python - <<'PY'
import torch
print(torch.cuda.is_available())
PY

Only use device="cuda" when this prints True; otherwise use device="cpu" or reinstall PyTorch with the correct CUDA wheel.

Flagship model — Fun-ASR-Nano (LLM-ASR for Chinese, English, and Japanese, plus Chinese dialect groups and regional accents; needs a GPU):

from funasr import AutoModel

model = AutoModel(model="FunAudioLLM/Fun-ASR-Nano-2512", device="cuda")
result = model.generate(input="https://isv-data.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/ics/MaaS/ASR/test_audio/asr_example_zh.wav")
print(result[0]["text"])
# 欢迎大家来体验达摩院推出的语音识别模型。

For the separate 31-language checkpoint, use Fun-ASR-MLT-Nano-2512. Language coverage is checkpoint-specific, so Nano and MLT-Nano should be treated as distinct model choices.

On CPU (or for five-language ASR plus emotion and audio-event tags), use SenseVoiceSmall. The pipeline below composes SenseVoiceSmall with FSMN-VAD and CAM++; diarization is provided by the separate CAM++ model, not by the SenseVoiceSmall checkpoint: See the SenseVoice paper, Hugging Face checkpoint, and GGUF edge checkpoint.

from funasr import AutoModel
from funasr.utils.postprocess_utils import rich_transcription_postprocess

model = AutoModel(model="iic/SenseVoiceSmall", vad_model="fsmn-vad", spk_model="cam++", device="cuda")  # use device="cpu" if you don't have a GPU
result = model.generate(
    input="https://isv-data.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/ics/MaaS/ASR/test_audio/asr_example_zh.wav",
    batch_size_s=300,
)

# The AutoModel pipeline returns VAD segments with speaker ids and timestamps:
for seg in result[0]["sentence_info"]:
    print(f"[{seg['start']/1000:.1f}s] Speaker {seg['spk']}: {rich_transcription_postprocess(seg['sentence'])}")

Output — structured text with speaker labels, timestamps, and punctuation:

[0.6s] Speaker 0: 欢迎大家来体验达摩院推出的语音识别模型

One AutoModel pipeline call coordinates the configured ASR, VAD, and speaker models and returns the combined result.

Scale & deploy the flagship

At scale, accelerate Fun-ASR-Nano with vLLM (batch processing):

from funasr.auto.auto_model_vllm import AutoModelVLLM

model = AutoModelVLLM(model="FunAudioLLM/Fun-ASR-Nano-2512", tensor_parallel_size=1)
results = model.generate(["audio1.wav", "audio2.wav"], language="auto")

Deploy as API server: funasr-server --device cuda → OpenAI-compatible endpoint at localhost:8000

Use with AI agents: MCP Server for Claude/Cursor · OpenAI API for LangChain/Dify/AutoGen

Use with voice agents: OpenClaw realtime plugin for self-hosted Talk and Voice Call transcription

Why FunASR?

Whisper is a single model; FunASR is a toolkit — you pick the right model per job: Fun-ASR-Nano (Chinese, English, Japanese, and Chinese dialects; GPU), Fun-ASR-MLT-Nano (31 languages), SenseVoiceSmall (five-language ASR plus emotion and audio events), and Paraformer (low-latency streaming). The table shows toolkit-level capabilities and names the model or pipeline that provides each one:

CPU / Edge — llama.cpp / GGUF (no GPU, no Python)

Run SenseVoice / Paraformer / Fun-ASR-Nano as a single self-contained binary on CPU and edge devices — this is to FunASR what whisper.cpp is to Whisper, but with ~3× lower CER than whisper.cpp on Chinese. Built-in FSMN-VAD, no Python at runtime.

# Linux / macOS: run from the extracted release directory
bash download-funasr-model.sh sensevoice ./gguf        # or: paraformer | nano
./llama-funasr-sensevoice -m ./gguf/sensevoice-small-q8.gguf --vad ./gguf/fsmn-vad.gguf -a audio.wav
# → 欢迎大家来体验达摩院推出的语音识别模型
# Windows PowerShell: run from the extracted archive root (with the `hf` CLI installed)

.\llama-funasr-sensevoice.exe -m .\gguf\sensevoice-small-q8.gguf --vad .\gguf\fsmn-vad.gguf -a audio.wav
# Use the windows-x64-vulkan package with a current AMD, Intel, or NVIDIA Vulkan driver:
.\llama-funasr-sensevoice.exe -m .\gguf\sensevoice-small-q8.gguf --vad .\gguf\fsmn-vad.gguf -a audio.wav --backend vulkan
# Use the windows-x64-cuda package on RTX 30-class GPUs:
.\llama-funasr-sensevoice.exe -m .\gguf\sensevoice-small-q8.gguf --vad .\gguf\fsmn-vad.gguf -a audio.wav --backend cuda

Use funasr-llamacpp-linux-x64-vulkan.tar.gz on Linux GPU systems with a working Vulkan driver/ICD:

./llama-funasr-sensevoice -m ./gguf/sensevoice-small-q8.gguf --vad ./gguf/fsmn-vad.gguf -a audio.wav --backend vulkan

The Windows Vulkan ZIP uses the system Vulkan loader supplied by the GPU driver; installing the Vulkan SDK is only necessary when building from source. Both Vulkan packages currently accelerate SenseVoiceSmall.

Tagged releases provide two Windows CUDA packages. The standard windows-x64-cuda ZIP targets CUDA architecture 86, while windows-x64-cuda-blackwell targets architecture 120 (sm_120) for RTX 50 / Blackwell GPUs. Both ZIPs bundle the required cuBLAS DLLs and use the static MSVC runtime, so users need a compatible NVIDIA driver but not a separate CUDA Toolkit installation. CI verifies the architecture and package boundary; it does not prove inference on physical Blackwell hardware.
