# Index-Echo-S2ST-9B-GGUF

Official GGUF conversion of the **text LLM backbone** (`stlm_llm/`) of [IndexTeam/Index-Echo-S2ST-9B](https://huggingface.co/IndexTeam/Index-Echo-S2ST-9B) (**v4rft**), part of the **Index-Echo** speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) model family by bilibili.

The v4rft package updates the multilingual translator and covers **twelve directions**: Chinese, Japanese, or English speech input, dubbed into English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, or Chinese.

> **Note: LLM backbone only.** The audio tower, connector and speech-synthesis stack are **not** included - llama.cpp cannot run the full speech pipeline. For full speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) inference, use the original checkpoint or the FP8 build in [Index-Echo-S2ST-9B-FP8](https://huggingface.co/IndexTeam/Index-Echo-S2ST-9B-FP8), which ships the complete pipeline with an FP8-quantized LLM.

Converted with [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp) (v0.26.0, 2026-10-15); static post-training quantization, all bit-widths in this single repository.

## Usage

```bash
# Run the recommended Q4_K_M directly:
llama serve -hf IndexTeam/Index-Echo-S2ST-9B-GGUF:Q4_K_M
llama cli -hf IndexTeam/Index-Echo-S2ST-9B-GGUF:Q4_K_M
```

## Consistency validation

Before release, each quantization tier was validated against the F16 conversion: per-token KL divergence / RMS delta-p via `llama-perplexity` (CPU build of llama.cpp), plus greedy-generation spot checks.
