# The routing heads, running in Go
Date: 2026-08-08. Vikunja V-664.
Weights: `router_heads.onnx`, fp32, exported from `heads.pt` on workpc.
Fixture: `internal/router/eval/ru_routing_v1.json`, 96 cases, 33 carrying a destination.
Runner: `make t PKG=./internal/router/eval/ RUN=TestONNXRoutingHeads`.
The four heads of V-661 ran nowhere. This is the number they score through the
Go cascade. Same fixture and same grammars as `TestONNXBaseline`, and only the
middle stage varies.
## Headline
| | classifier + ONNX | heads + classifier | gemma-4-12b cascade |
|---|---|---|---|
| intent | 75.0% (72/96) | **96.9% (93/96)** | 84.4% |
| destination | 33.3% (11/33) | **75.8% (25/33)** | 72.7% |
| false clarify | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| missed clarify | 8 | 1 | 1 |
| p50 | 24.5ms | 27.9ms | 329ms |
A 118M encoder beats the 12B teacher it was distilled from. It wins on both
halves of the route, at a twelfth of the latency. The workstation stays the
better phraser and is no longer the better router.
The p50 is not the heads. Most of it is the classifier's own embedder pass on
the turns the heads decline, plus process warm-up on the first case. The heads'
own forward pass measures 7.3ms on workpc.
## Two defects were in the way, and the first was not in the heads
**The tokenizer read every long word backwards.** `encodeWord` backtracks the
Viterbi path from the end of a word and prepends each piece. That puts them back
in reading order, and a second reverse after the loop undid it. So
`query: вода` tokenized to `[0 12 1294 41 12489 2]` where the reference
tokenizer gives `[0 41 1294 12 12489 2]`.
It was found here and only here. The heads were trained through transformers and
are read through the hand-written tokenizer. So a mismatch shows up as a score
far below what Python measured on the same weights. Nothing else in the suite
compares the two.
Measured on the recall fixture, same 27 cases either way:
| | reversed | fixed |
|---|---|---|
| recall@1 | 70.4% (19/27) | **77.8% (21/27)** |
| recall@3 | 85.2% (23/27) | **96.3% (26/27)** |
| answered after gate | 63.0% | 66.7% |
| wrong note on top | 8 | 6 |
| false recall | 0/5 | 1/5 |
The classifier barely moved, 76.0% to 75.0%, and destination 36.4% to 33.3%.
Both are one case on 96 and neither is a finding. Seeds and queries were mangled
the same way, so cosine survived it. Recall is where it cost, because a stored
passage and a live query are different lengths and break differently.
The one new false recall is the honest cost and it is not being hidden. A
sharper embedder scores every candidate higher, including the ones that should
have stayed under the gate. That is the same trade `2026-08-04-recall-e5-small.md`
recorded when e5-small replaced MiniLM.
The embedder id now carries a tokenizer revision, `model_quantized@384/tok2`.
Stored vectors were written under rev 1 and no longer sit in the same space as a
query embedded now. The model file's name never moved, so nothing would have
triggered `ReembedAll`. On the box the marker fired on start, and the re-embed
rewrote 65 notes and 19 facts in 5 seconds.
**The clarify head was being thrown away.** It was read only when the intent head
cleared its own threshold. That cost 6 of the 8 ambiguous cases. `вода` reads as intent
`act` at 0.233 and clarify at 0.983. Burying that handed the turn to the
classifier, which routed it confidently and never asked. The clarify head answers
a different question, which is whether there is enough here to act on at all. So
it decides on its own and decides first.
| | intent-gated | clarify decides first |
|---|---|---|
| intent | 90.6% | 96.9% |
| missed clarify | 7 | 1 |
| false clarify | 0 | 1 |
## The threshold is measured, not chosen
Max softmax over the intent head, on the 88 cases carrying an intent:
| threshold | kept | accuracy kept | wrong kept | right dropped |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 | 84 | 96.4% | 3 | 2 |
| **0.6** | **81** | **97.5%** | **2** | **4** |
| 0.7 | 75 | 97.3% | 2 | 10 |
| 0.8 | 64 | 96.9% | 2 | 21 |
| 0.9 | 46 | 100.0% | 0 | 37 |
0.6 is the knee. Every value from 0.7 to 0.85 drops right answers and keeps the
same two wrong ones. 0.9 is the only value that clears them, and it costs 37
correct routes to do it.
## Quantization was measured and rejected
| build | size | intent | destination | p50 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| fp32 | 470MB | 83/88 (94.3%) | 28/33 (84.8%) | 7.3ms |
| int8 | 118MB | 79/88 (89.8%) | 26/33 (78.8%) | 4.0ms |
| fp16 | 235MB | will not load | — | — |
Python numbers, on the heads alone rather than through the cascade. int8 costs
4.5 points of intent and 6 of destination to save 3ms. The cascade around it has
a p50 over a second when the resident model answers. The fp16 graph is broken:
`convert_float_to_float16` leaves a Cast node emitting float16 where the graph
expects float, and onnxruntime refuses the session. It was not worth fixing.
The exporter also had to be told to write one file. It splits weights into a
`.onnx.data` sidecar by default. This onnxruntime resolves that path against the
process working directory rather than the model. A split graph loads from one
directory only.
## What is still wrong
**Four of the eight destination misses are calendar.** Training cannot move them.
The possessive agenda rules claim those cases at stage 0 and name nothing on
purpose. That caution was free while nothing downstream could name anything
either. It has now cost four points in three separate measurements. The call is
the owner's and it is still open.
**The slot head is exported and not read.** Slots come from the stage-2
extractor. Mapping BIO tags back to text needs character offsets the unigram
tokenizer does not keep, which is its own piece of work.
**`поужинал` is a false clarify**, which is the same defect `thinSingleToken`
was narrowed for on 2026-08-01, arriving now from a different direction.
## On the box
Deployed to homesrv the same day. `voice: routing heads loaded` on start, and
`/trace` shows `routing-heads` winning or thinning every turn. The resident model
and the classifier are both marked never asked. Live probes:
```text
что такое TCP? -> kiwix a real definition
кто такой Линус Торвальдс? -> kiwix a real answer
во сколько я лёг вчера -> personal не нашла у тебя такой записи
вода -> thinned to clarify at 0.233 / 0.983
```
A missing or broken weights file logs and leaves the heads nil, which is
byte-for-byte the cascade that shipped before this.

# CrisperWhisper 2.0 in Russian, measured
Date: 2026-08-09. Vikunja V-665.
Corpus: `bond005/sberdevices_golos_10h_crowd`, test split, first 200 clips.
Harness: `~/Programs/cw2-eval` on workpc, not in this repo.
Runner: `./.venv/bin/python run_asr.py <arm>...` then `score.py`.
The model card benchmarks disfluency F1 in German and English. It never names
Russian and publishes no per-language WER. So the measurement came before the
wiring.
## The corpus
200 clips, 13.7 minutes, 1001 reference words. Median clip 3.91s, range 1.04s
to 13.5s. Golos crowd is short crowd-sourced Russian spoken close to the
microphone, which is the nearest public thing to someone talking to Maven. The
alternatives are read speech, which flatters every model equally.
Two rows carry a null transcription and are skipped.
Scoring normalizes both sides: lowercase, `ё` to `е`, punctuation stripped, and
digits expanded to Russian words through num2words. Without that last step a
model is penalized for writing `60000` where the reference says
`шестьдесят тысяч`. Thousands separators are joined before expansion, or
`60 000` expands to `шестьдесят ноль`.
## Headline
| arm | WER | CER | exact | empty | RTF |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cw2-turbo-intended | **10.4%** | 3.4% | 65.5% | 0 | 0.065 |
| cw2-turbo-verbatim | 10.8% | **3.1%** | **66.5%** | 0 | 0.065 |
| whisper-turbo | 11.8% | 4.1% | 64.0% | 0 | 0.031 |
| cw2-large-intended | 12.3% | 3.8% | 63.5% | 0 | 0.107 |
| whisper-small | 27.5% | 9.8% | 35.0% | 0 | 0.026 |
`whisper-small` is the floor, because `ggml-small.bin` is what mavsttd loads on
homesrv today. CW2 turbo beats it by 17 points of WER and takes exact matches
from 35.0% to 65.5%.
Two results are worth naming beyond the winner. CW2 turbo beats its own base
model, whisper-large-v3-turbo, by 1.4 points. And it beats CW2 large by 1.9
points, which inverts what the card implies by calling turbo a degraded draft.
No arm returned an empty transcript.
## Intended and verbatim are closer than the mode names suggest
The two modes disagree on 70 of the 200 clips before normalization and on 29
after it. So the raw difference is mostly casing and punctuation, which
normalization removes and which Maven does not read either.
Verbatim scores worse on WER and better on CER and exact matches. The reason is
script, not disfluency:
```text
ref: футбольный матч челси брайтон
int: Футбольный матч Chelsea-Брайтон.
ver: Футбольный матч Челси Брайтон.
```
Intended writes foreign entity names in Latin script and verbatim
transliterates them. Golos references are Cyrillic throughout, so verbatim
collects the exact matches. That is a property of this corpus rather than a
quality difference.
**This corpus cannot settle the mode choice.** Golos crowd is clean short
commands with almost no disfluency. The two modes have nothing to disagree
about here. They separate on spontaneous speech with fillers, restarts and
repairs, which is what the owner speaks. Intended stays the choice for the
reason it was always the choice. Maven wants what was meant, not every stumble
on the way there.
The Latin-script habit is the one finding here that touches routing. The
routing heads were trained on Cyrillic utterances, so an entity name arriving
in Latin script is out of distribution for them. Nothing measures that yet.
## The runtime is workpc, because whisper.cpp cannot load CW2
`num_languages()` in `deps/whisper.cpp/src/whisper.cpp` derives the language
count from the vocabulary size:
```cpp
return n_vocab - 51765 - (is_multilingual() ? 1 : 0);
```
CW2 carries 31 extra tokens, so `n_vocab` is 51897 and this yields 131
languages. The derived `dt` offset becomes 33 and shifts seven special token
ids, including `token_beg` and `token_transcribe`. The architecture is
otherwise byte-identical to whisper-large-v3-turbo, and the new tokens sit
above every whisper special id.
So loading CW2 in whisper.cpp is a patch to a vendored dependency, not a port.
It was not taken, because STT is moving to workpc anyway under V-486. CW2 turbo
becomes the preferred remote and `ggml-small.bin` on homesrv stays the floor,
which is the shape `modelSeam` already uses for routing and replies. The 27.5%
floor is what a turn falls back to when the workstation is down, and this table
is what that costs.
## License
Standard CW2 weights carry `nyra-health-non-commercial-research`. The Pro
variants are commercial-license only. Maven is personal and self-hosted, so the
standard weights are usable and the Pro ones are not free to take.
## What is not measured
Disfluent spontaneous speech, which is the whole reason to prefer Intended.
Long-form audio beyond 13.5s. Far-field or noisy microphones. English, which
Maven also speaks. The ONNX turbo export, which was never run, since the
transformers path already meets the latency budget at RTF 0.065.
