Workload boundary

Decide whether it fits your production constraints

Good fit

  • Batch recording transcription
  • LLM decoder throughput is the priority
  • An NVIDIA GPU serving environment already exists

Not a fit

  • CPU-only or edge devices
  • Non-autoregressive models such as Paraformer
  • Internet-facing service before memory and load tests

Run path

From installation to known-audio verification

These commands come from the current verification registry. Pin dependencies, model, and hardware before rollout.

Install

pip install funasr
pip install "vllm==0.19.1"

Launch

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python examples/industrial_data_pretraining/fun_asr_nano/serve_vllm.py --port 8899 --model FunAudioLLM/Fun-ASR-Nano-2512 --gpu-memory-utilization 0.5

Health check

curl -fsS http://localhost:8899/health

Smoke test

Minimum verification before promotion

curl -X POST http://localhost:8899/v1/audio/transcriptions -F file=@audio.wav -F model=fun-asr-nano -F response_format=verbose_json

Operations and capacity

Move from runnable to operable

Operational checks

  • Pin the FunASR, vLLM, Torch, and CUDA combination
  • Warm the model before capacity measurement
  • Measure queue, first-result, and final-result latency

Capacity variables

  • Audio duration, language, channels, and VAD segment distribution
  • Concurrency, queue time, warmup, and model-cache state
  • Exact hardware, driver, runtime, and thread configuration

Troubleshooting

  • Match the NVIDIA driver to vLLM's CUDA build
  • Capture two complete outputs and exact versions for repetition
  • Check the VAD maximum segment length when long audio loses content

Security boundary

Treat production ingress as untrusted

Known limitation

Throughput and memory depend on segmentation, batch size, concurrency, GPU, and vLLM version; retest with target traffic.

Public benchmarks are reproduction starting points, not substitutes for target-workload testing.
