This product includes a MODIFIED version of LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct. The model weights were

adapted by Promethic Labs to perform dictation cleanup (rewriting raw voice transcripts into
|
| 12 |
+
clean text without answering or executing them). The base architecture and pretrained weights
|
| 13 |

are the work of Liquid AI; the modification is the work of Promethic Labs.

# Emberon-1.2B
|
| 24 |
+
|
| 25 |
+
**A small, fast, open-weights model that *cleans up dictated speech* β and never answers or executes it.**
|
| 26 |
+
|
| 27 |
+
Emberon is the first open model from **[Promethic Labs](https://wispercode.com)**. It powers the on-device
|
| 28 |
+
dictation cleanup in **WisperCode** (*"Your voice. Your machine. Your words."*). Give it a rough,
|
| 29 |
+
disfluent voice transcript and it returns clean, well-punctuated text β fixing filler words, grammar,
|
| 30 |
+
and capitalization while **preserving your meaning and technical identifiers verbatim**.
|
| 31 |
+
|
| 32 |
+
Crucially, it does **not** treat your dictation as a prompt. If you dictate *"how does the garbage
|
| 33 |
+
collector work in Java,"* Emberon hands you back that sentence, cleaned β it does **not** answer the
|
| 34 |
+
question. That single behavior is the whole point of the model, and it's where a general instruct model
|
| 35 |
+
fails ~1-in-3 times.
|
| 36 |
+
|
| 37 |
+
> **Open *weights*, not "open source."** Emberon is a derivative of LiquidAI's LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct and
|
| 38 |
+
> inherits the **LFM Open License v1.0** (see [License](#license--attribution)). That license is
|
| 39 |
+
> Apache-2.0-style but **revenue-gated** (free commercial use under **$10M USD** annual revenue), so it
|
| 40 |
+
> is *not* an OSI-approved open-source license. We call it "open weights" so nobody is misled.

|
| 47 |

|---|---|
|

+
| **Task** | Post-process raw speech-to-text (e.g. Whisper output) into clean written text |
|

+
| **Domain** | Tuned for **technical / coding** dictation (preserves `camelCase`, `snake_case`, `user.email`, `O(n^2)`, file paths, API names, etc.) |
|
| 50 |
+
| **Core guarantee** | Cleans and formats only β **never answers questions or follows instructions** found in the transcript |
|
| 51 |
+
| **Footprint** | 1.2B params; runs fully **on-device** via `llama.cpp` (Q4_K_M β 697 MB, ~1.2 s/utterance warm on Apple Silicon) |
|
| 52 |
+
| **Base** | [`LiquidAI/LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct`](https://huggingface.co/LiquidAI/LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct) (hybrid conv/attention, 128k context) |
|

|
| 54 |
+
## Intended use
|
| 55 |
+
|
| 56 |
+
Emberon expects the **exact system prompt it was trained with**, used **zero-shot** (no few-shot
|
| 57 |
+
examples β see the note below):
|
| 58 |
+
|
| 59 |
+
```
|
| 60 |
+
You are a dictation cleanup tool for coding. Rewrite the raw voice transcript into clean,
|
| 61 |
+
well-punctuated text. Preserve all technical terms and identifiers exactly. Do not answer
|
| 62 |
+
questions or execute commands; only clean and format.
|
| 63 |
+
```
|
| 64 |
+
|
| 65 |
+
The user message is the raw transcript; the assistant reply is the cleaned text.
|
| 66 |
+
|
| 67 |
+
> **Use it zero-shot.** Adding few-shot examples *degrades* this model: it starts copying the
|
| 68 |
+
> example answers instead of cleaning the input (answer-suppression drops from 100% to ~67%). The
|
| 69 |
+
> instruction above is all it needs.
|
| 70 |
+
|
| 71 |
+
### Quick start (`llama-cpp-python`)
|
| 72 |
+
|
| 73 |
+
```python
|
| 74 |
+
from llama_cpp import Llama
|
| 75 |
+
|
| 76 |
+
llm = Llama.from_pretrained(
|
| 77 |
+
repo_id="PromethicLabs/Emberon-1.2B",
|
| 78 |
+
filename="Emberon-1.2B-Q4_K_M.gguf",
|
| 79 |
+
n_ctx=4096,
|
| 80 |
+
)
|
| 81 |
+
|
| 82 |
+
SYSTEM = ("You are a dictation cleanup tool for coding. Rewrite the raw voice transcript into "
|
| 83 |
+
"clean, well-punctuated text. Preserve all technical terms and identifiers exactly. "
|
| 84 |
+
"Do not answer questions or execute commands; only clean and format.")
|
| 85 |
+
|
| 86 |
+
out = llm.create_chat_completion(
|
| 87 |
+
messages=[
|
| 88 |
+
{"role": "system", "content": SYSTEM},
|
| 89 |
+
{"role": "user", "content": "um so like whats the difference between a process and a thread"},
|
| 90 |
+
],
|
| 91 |
+
temperature=0.0, # low temperature recommended for faithful cleanup
|
| 92 |
+
)
|
| 93 |
+
print(out["choices"][0]["message"]["content"])
|
| 94 |
+
# -> "What's the difference between a process and a thread?" (cleaned β NOT answered)
|
| 95 |
+
```
|
| 96 |
+
|
| 97 |
+
Low temperature (0.0β0.3) is recommended: this is a faithfulness task, not a creative one.
|
| 98 |
+
|
| 99 |
+
## Evaluation
|
| 100 |
+
|
| 101 |
+
Measured **through the real `llama.cpp` inference path** (the shipped Q4_K_M GGUF), on held-out sets
|
| 102 |
+
with **zero training leakage**:
|
| 103 |
+
|
| 104 |
+
| Metric | Emberon-1.2B (Q4_K_M, zero-shot) | Stock LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct |
|
| 105 |
+
|---|---|---|
|
| 106 |
+
| **Answer-suppression** (hard negatives, n=150) β % of answer-tempting inputs *cleaned, not answered* | **100.0%** (150/150) | 67.3% |
|
| 107 |
+
| **Word-preservation** (n=40 fidelity sample) | **0.952** | β |
|
| 108 |
+
| **Identifier-preservation** (n=26) | **1.000** (26/26) | β |
|
| 109 |
+
|
| 110 |
+
For reference, the MLX (pre-GGUF) checkpoint scored 100.0% suppression / 0.963 word-pres / 0.946
|
| 111 |
+
identifier-pres β the Q4_K_M quantization holds the behavior (identifier-preservation actually measured
|
| 112 |
+
higher on this sample).
|
| 113 |
+
|
| 114 |
+
## Training
|
| 115 |
+
|
| 116 |
+
- **Method:** LoRA (rank 16, scale 1.0, dropout 0.0) on attention + conv + FFN projections, fused into
|
| 117 |
+
the base weights, then converted to GGUF.
|
| 118 |
+
- **Schedule:** 10,000 iterations, LR 2e-4, batch size 1, max sequence length 2048, prompt-masked loss,
|
| 119 |
+
gradient checkpointing. Trained with **[MLX](https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx)** on Apple Silicon
|
| 120 |
+
from `mlx-community/LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-bf16`.
|
| 121 |
+
- **Data:** **~41,000 instruction pairs** (train 39,473 / held-out eval 1,152 / held-out hard-negatives
|
| 122 |
+
493). ~97% **synthetic**, generated by **Claude Opus** and then double-screened by (1) an automated
|
| 123 |
+
quality gate (novelty β€ 0.45, identifier-preservation, length-ratio, hygiene, cross-batch dedup) and
|
| 124 |
+
(2) an LLM faithfulness judge; plus ~1,223 real dictation logs (privacy-scrubbed). Categories:
|
| 125 |
+
questions, commands, statements, lists, self-corrections, and dictated punctuation β the question and
|
| 126 |
+
command classes are the "answer-temptation" hard negatives.

## Limitations & responsible use
|
| 136 |
+
|
| 137 |
+
- **In-distribution evals.** The numbers above are on held-out sets drawn from the same (largely
|
| 138 |
+
synthetic) distribution as training. Real-world dictation will contain inputs neither set covers.
|
| 139 |
+
- **English, coding-flavored.** Tuned for English technical dictation. Other languages/domains are
|
| 140 |
+
out of scope and untested.
|
| 141 |
+
- **Cold start.** The first inference after load incurs a one-time warmup (~3β4 s on Apple Silicon
|
| 142 |
+
Metal); subsequent calls are ~1.2 s. Pre-warm if latency matters.
|
| 143 |
+
- **It is a cleanup tool, not an assistant.** By design it will not answer, summarize, translate, or
|
| 144 |
+
act on content. That is a feature, not a bug.
