+# Model Card for AL-Whisper-R
+This is a checkpoint for AL-Whisper-R, audio-understanding reasoning language model, proposed in [ALARM: Audio–Language Alignment for Reasoning Models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.09556).
+This model is trained on the full corpora.
+For more details regarding the model and its usage, please refer to our [GitHub](https://github.com/Blinorot/ALARM).
+## Inference
+We provide [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) support using [vLLM Prompt Embedding API](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/stable/features/prompt_embeds/).
+Since ALARM uses the frozen Qwen3 model as the backbone, `vllm` just runs the original Qwen3 checkpoint, and the ALARM checkpoint is used for extracting LLM input embeddings.
+After you cloned the repo and installed the depnedencies, you can run the pretrained model as follows:
+```python
+# Import libraries
+import os
+os.environ["CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES"] = "0" #optional
+# run before importing torch because generate_vllm sets the multiprocessing method
+from generate_vllm import get_response
+from src.model.wrapped_llms.qwen3 import Qwen3AudioWrappedFeatureExtractor
+from omegaconf import OmegaConf
+from torchaudio.utils import _download_asset
+from torchcodec.decoders import AudioDecoder
+from transformers import AutoTokenizer
+from vllm import LLM
+# The model configuration config.
+# Handles vllm-related configuration and defines feature extractors,
+# i.e., audio -> encoder input embedding conversion.
+# All other configuration, including model architecture, will be
+# loaded from the checkpoint.
+default_model_config_name = "src/configs/model/default_inference.yaml"
+model_config = OmegaConf.load(default_model_config_name)
+# checkpoint_name = which model to run
+#   Single model version (no inference-time ensemble):
+#   checkpoint_name='Blinorot/AL-Whisper-Instruct-R'
+#   ALARM-E embedding fusion-type version (inference-time ensemble):
+#   checkpoint_name=["Blinorot/ALARM-CA","Blinorot/AL-Whisper-Instruct-R"]
+checkpoint_name = "Blinorot/AL-Whisper-R"
+device = "cuda"
+# Load Tokenizer for Text Processing
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_config.llm)
+# Load ALARM/AL-*-R checkpoints for extraction of LLM input embeddings
+if isinstance(checkpoint_name, list): # ALARM-E-style embedding fusion (inference-time ensemble)
+    feature_extractor_list = []
+    for name in checkpoint_name:
+        # Load weights into the (audio,text)->LLM embeddings converter
+        feature_extractor = Qwen3AudioWrappedFeatureExtractor(
+            model_config=model_config,
+            checkpoint_name=name,
+            tokenizer=tokenizer,
+        )
+        feature_extractor.to(device)
+        feature_extractor_list.append(feature_extractor)
+    feature_extractor = feature_extractor_list
+else: # Single Model version (no inference-time ensemble)
+    # Load weights into the (audio,text)->LLM embeddings converter
+    feature_extractor = Qwen3AudioWrappedFeatureExtractor(
+        model_config=model_config,
+        checkpoint_name=checkpoint_name,
+        tokenizer=tokenizer,
+    )
+    feature_extractor.to(device)
+# Start the offline vLLM instance of original Qwen3 RLM
+# Model will be loaded to CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES id
+llm = LLM(
+    model_config.llm,
+    enable_prefix_caching=True,
+    max_model_len=model_config.max_model_len,
+    max_num_seqs=model_config.max_num_seq,

+)
+# Set sampling arguments for the RLM
+sample = llm.get_default_sampling_params()
+sample.seed = model_config.seed
+sample.max_tokens = model_config.max_tokens
+# Define audio and prompt
+# Audio must come from torchcodec.AudioDecoder

+# Define a system prompt
+system_prompt = "You are an audio-understanding model."
+# Obtain response from Audio RLM

+    prompts=[prompt], # list of all the prompts

+    sample=sample,

+    debug=False,
+)
+# Response is a list of responses, one per each (prompt, audio) input pair
+# We have only one input pair, so the final response is at index 0
+response = response[0]
