# Voxtral

Voxtral is an upgrade of [Ministral 3B and Mistral Small 3B](https://mistral.ai/news/ministraux), extending its language capabilities with audio input support. It is designed to handle tasks such as speech transcription, translation, and audio understanding.

You can read more in Mistral's [release blog post](https://mistral.ai/news/voxtral).

The model is available in two checkpoints:

- 3B: [mistralai/Voxtral-Mini-3B-2507](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Voxtral-Mini-3B-2507)
- 24B: [mistralai/Voxtral-Small-24B-2507](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Voxtral-Small-24B-2507)

## Key Features

Voxtral builds on Ministral-3B by adding audio processing capabilities:

- **Transcription mode**: Includes a dedicated mode for speech transcription. By default, Voxtral detects the spoken language and transcribes it accordingly.  
- **Long-form context**: With a 32k token context window, Voxtral can process up to 30 minutes of audio for transcription or 40 minutes for broader audio understanding.  
- **Integrated Q&A and summarization**: Supports querying audio directly and producing structured summaries without relying on separate ASR and language models.  
- **Multilingual support**: Automatically detects language and performs well across several widely spoken languages, including English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Hindi, German, Dutch, and Italian.  
- **Function calling via voice**: Can trigger functions or workflows directly from spoken input based on detected user intent.  
- **Text capabilities**: Maintains the strong text processing performance of its Ministral-3B foundation.

## Usage

The Voxtral encoder, which is a Whisper encoder.

This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.

  `input_features`, the [AutoFeatureExtractor](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoFeatureExtractor) should be used for extracting the mel features, padding
  and conversion into a tensor of type `torch.FloatTensor`. See [__call__()](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/whisper#transformers.WhisperFeatureExtractor.__call__)
- **attention_mask** (`torch.Tensor`)`, *optional*) --
  Voxtral does not support masking of the `input_features`, this argument is preserved for compatibility,
  but it is not used. By default the silence in the input log mel spectrogram are ignored.0

**Parameters:**

config ([VoxtralEncoderConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/voxtral#transformers.VoxtralEncoderConfig)) : Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration.

- **attention_mask** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:

  - 1 for tokens that are **not masked**,
  - 0 for tokens that are **masked**.

  [What are attention masks?](../glossary#attention-mask)
- **position_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range `[0, config.n_positions - 1]`.

  [What are position IDs?](../glossary#position-ids)
- **past_key_values** (`~cache_utils.Cache`, *optional*) --
  Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention
  blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the `past_key_values`
  returned by the model at a previous stage of decoding, when `use_cache=True` or `config.use_cache=True`.

  Only [Cache](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance is allowed as input, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).
  If no `past_key_values` are passed, [DynamicCache](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.DynamicCache) will be initialized by default.

  The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed `input_ids` (those that don't
  have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, unprocessed_length)` instead of all `input_ids`
  of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.
- **inputs_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) --
  Optionally, instead of passing `input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This
  is useful if you want more control over how to convert `input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the
  model's internal embedding lookup matrix.
- **labels** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Labels for computing the masked language modeling loss. Indices should either be in `[0, ...,
  config.vocab_size]` or -100 (see `input_ids` docstring). Tokens with indices set to `-100` are ignored
  (masked), the loss is only computed for the tokens with labels in `[0, ..., config.vocab_size]`.
- **use_cache** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see
  `past_key_values`).
- **cache_position** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices depicting the position of the input sequence tokens in the sequence. Contrarily to `position_ids`,
  this tensor is not affected by padding. It is used to update the cache in the correct position and to infer
  the complete sequence length.
- **logits_to_keep** (`Union[int, torch.Tensor]`, *optional*, defaults to `0`) --
  If an `int`, compute logits for the last `logits_to_keep` tokens. If `0`, calculate logits for all
  `input_ids` (special case). Only last token logits are needed for generation, and calculating them only for that
  token can save memory, which becomes pretty significant for long sequences or large vocabulary size.
  If a `torch.Tensor`, must be 1D corresponding to the indices to keep in the sequence length dimension.
  This is useful when using packed tensor format (single dimension for batch and sequence length).0[transformers.modeling_outputs.CausalLMOutputWithPast](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.CausalLMOutputWithPast) or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`A [transformers.modeling_outputs.CausalLMOutputWithPast](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.CausalLMOutputWithPast) or a tuple of

The [VoxtralForConditionalGeneration](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/voxtral#transformers.VoxtralForConditionalGeneration) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.

Example:

```python
>>> from transformers import VoxtralForConditionalGeneration, AutoProcessor
>>> import torch

>>> device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
>>> repo_id = "mistralai/Voxtral-Mini-3B-2507"

>>> processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(repo_id)
>>> model = VoxtralForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(repo_id, dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map=device)

>>> conversation = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {
                "type": "audio",
                "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/hf-internal-testing/dummy-audio-samples/resolve/main/dude_where_is_my_car.wav",
            },
            {"type": "text", "text": "What can you tell me about this audio?"},
        ],
    }
]

>>> inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(conversation)
>>> inputs = inputs.to(device, dtype=torch.bfloat16)

>>> outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=30)
>>> processor.batch_decode(outputs[:, inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)

#### get_audio_features[[transformers.VoxtralForConditionalGeneration.get_audio_features]]

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v5.0.0/src/transformers/models/voxtral/modeling_voxtral.py#L400)

This method is used to get the audio embeddings from input features (a log mel spectrogram), meaning inferring the audio encoder and the multi-modal projector.

Example:

```python
```

**Parameters:**

input_features (`torch.FloatTensor`) : Float values of mel features extracted from the raw speech waveform. Raw speech waveform can be obtained by loading a `.flac` or `.wav` audio file into an array of type `list[float]` or a `numpy.ndarray`, *e.g.* via the soundfile library (`pip install soundfile`). To prepare the array into `input_features`, the [AutoFeatureExtractor](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoFeatureExtractor) should be used for extracting the mel features, padding and conversion into a tensor of type `torch.FloatTensor`. See [__call__()](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/whisper#transformers.WhisperFeatureExtractor.__call__)

- **pooler_output** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, hidden_size)`) -- Last layer hidden-state of the first token of the sequence (classification token) after further processing
  through the layers used for the auxiliary pretraining task. E.g. for BERT-family of models, this returns
  the classification token after processing through a linear layer and a tanh activation function. The linear
  layer weights are trained from the next sentence prediction (classification) objective during pretraining.
- **hidden_states** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_hidden_states=True` is passed or when `config.output_hidden_states=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, +
