# Cohere Transcribe — Moroccan Darija (hybrid)

Public adapter on [Cohere Transcribe Arabic](https://huggingface.co/CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-arabic-07-2026). **Hybrid:** MultiConv on encoder layers 15–47 + LoRA on the decoder. Trained on 3h YouTube Darija ([`01Yassine/darija-asr-3h`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/01Yassine/darija-asr-3h)).

Eval: [`atlasia/darija-asr-benchmark`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/atlasia/darija-asr-benchmark) (114 clips, human).

| | CER | WER |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| base | 20.2 | 49.1 |
| **hybrid (this repo)** | **14.4** | **38.3** |

You need the Cohere base weights (and its license). This repo is only the adapter.

## Inference (from the Hub, no training clone)

```bash
pip install "transformers>=5.4" peft torch torchaudio soundfile huggingface_hub
```

```python
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, snapshot_download("01Yassine/cohere-transcribe-darija"))
from infer import transcribe
print(transcribe("clip.wav"))
```

Or, if you already have `infer.py` from this repo:

```bash
python infer.py clip.wav --model hybrid
python infer.py clip.wav --model 01Yassine/cohere-transcribe-darija
```
