for building voice agents.
### Implementations overview
We provide different implementations of Kyutai STT for different use cases.
Here is how to choose which one to use:
- **PyTorch: for research and tinkering.**
If you want to call the model from Python for research or experimentation, use our PyTorch implementation.
- **Rust: for production.**
If you want to serve Kyutai STT in a production setting, use our Rust server.
Our robust Rust server provides streaming access to the model over websockets.
We use this server to run [Unmute](https://unmute.sh/); on a L40S GPU, we can serve 64 simultaneous connections at a real-time factor of 3x.
- **MLX: for on-device inference on iPhone and Mac.**
MLX is Apple's ML framework that allows you to use hardware acceleration on Apple silicon.
If you want to run the model on a Mac or an iPhone, choose the MLX implementation.
You can retrieve the sample files used in the following snippets via:
```bash
wget https://github.com/metavoiceio/metavoice-src/raw/main/assets/bria.mp3

```bash
uvx --with moshi python -m moshi.run_inference --hf-repo kyutai/stt-2.6b-en bria.mp3
```
It will install the moshi package in a temporary environment and run the speech-to-text.
Additionally, we provide two scripts that highlight different usage scenarios. The first script illustrates how to extract word-level timestamps from the model's outputs:
```bash
uv run \
scripts/streaming_stt_timestamps.py \
scripts/transcribe_from_file_via_pytorch.py \
--hf-repo kyutai/stt-2.6b-en \
--file bria.mp3
```
The second script can be used to run a model on an existing Hugging Face dataset and calculate its performance metrics:
```bash
uv run scripts/streaming_stt.py \
uv run scripts/evaluate_on_dataset.py \
--dataset meanwhile \
--hf-repo kyutai/stt-2.6b-en
```

Once the server has started you can run a streaming inference with the following
script.
Once the server has started you can transcribe audio from your microphone with the following script.
```bash
uv run scripts/transcribe_from_mic_via_rust_server.py
```
We also provide a script for transcribing from an audio file.
```bash
uv run scripts/transcribe_from_file_via_rust_server.py bria.mp3
```
The script limits the decoding speed to simulates real-time processing of the audio.
Faster processing can be triggered by setting
the real-time factor, e.g. `--rtf 500` will process
the real-time factor, e.g. `--rtf 1000` will process
the data as fast as possible.
