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.

+

43
+
44
+ ## What it does
45
+
46
+ | | |
47
+ |---|---|
48
+ | **Task** | Post-process raw speech-to-text (e.g. Whisper output) into clean written text |
49
+ | **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‰ˆ 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) |
53
+
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 (0.0–0.3) 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 ≀ 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.

135
+ ## 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 (~3–4 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.
