It post-trains Qwen3-ASR-1.7B on 1,500 hours of Chinese and English audio with the encoder and projector frozen, using their new Longest Stable Prefix (LSP) concept—proven monotone under the prefix order and consistent with full-audio output. Aimed at machine consumers like translators and voice agents that act on every token as it appears.
