Hi @xdevfaheem , sorry for the delayed answer.

The main differences are:

  • The Unified model works well in offline and streaming decoding.
  • The Unified model outperforms Nemotron down to 240ms latency (according to the Open ASR leaderboard). But if you need 160ms or 80ms, it is better to use the Nemotron model.
  • The Unified model does not support cache-aware decoding yet (only chunked inference with left context recomputation). You can observe 100-300% RTFx degradation at low latencies for streaming decoding compared to Nemotron.

What latency are you targeting for English?
