● Now I have the full picture. Here are my suggestions for your inference agent:

  ---
  Key issues in the benchmark script:

  1. validate_language() will crash on Indic languages

  The biggest problem: utils.py:SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES only has the 30 base Qwen3-ASR languages. It does NOT include Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati,
  Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, or Telugu. When the benchmark calls model.transcribe(language="Tamil"), it hits
  validate_language() → ValueError: Unsupported language: Tamil.

  Fix: The inference agent needs to either:
  - Add the Indic languages to SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES in qwen_asr/inference/utils.py
  - Or pass language=None and let the model auto-detect (the model was trained with language_tag_mode=auto which embeds language names in the
  target text, so auto-detect should work)

  2. Language name mismatch

  The benchmark script's LANG_CODE_TO_NAME matches the training script's exactly — that's good. But _MODEL_SUPPORTED_LANGS in the benchmark only
  has the base 30 languages. So the force_language logic falls back to None for all Indic languages except Hindi/English. This means:
  - Hindi/English: forced language → model outputs raw text only
  - Other Indic: auto-detect → model outputs language Tamil<asr_text>actual text

  This inconsistency will mess up WER because parse_asr_output strips the language prefix when user_language is set, but keeps it otherwise.

  Fix: Either force all languages (after adding them to SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES) or force none.

  3. How the model actually generates output

  During training, the target format is:
  language Tamil<asr_text>நான் வீட்டுக்கு போகிறேன்

  At inference with force_language="Tamil", the prompt is pre-filled with language Tamil<asr_text> and the model generates just the transcription
  text. Without forcing, the model generates the full language X<asr_text>text sequence and parse_asr_output extracts the text part.

  4. The transcribe() API expects (np.ndarray, sr) tuples, not raw arrays

  The benchmark passes audio_inputs.append((wav, sr)) — that's correct.

  5. Recommendation for the benchmark:

  # Option A: Add Indic languages to SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES and force language
  # This is cleaner and gives better results since the model doesn't waste
  # tokens on language detection.

  # In qwen_asr/inference/utils.py, add to SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES:
  # "Assamese", "Bengali", "Gujarati", "Kannada", "Malayalam",
  # "Marathi", "Odia", "Punjabi", "Tamil", "Telugu"

  # Option B: Don't force language, let auto-detect work
  # Simpler, but the model generates `language X<asr_text>text`
  # and parse_asr_output handles extraction.
  # Use: model.transcribe(audio=audio_inputs, language=None)

  6. max_new_tokens=256 may be too low for longer Indic transcriptions — some of the 10-15s samples in the training data have 280+ character
  transcripts. Consider 448 or 512.

  7. The checkpoint needs base model files

  The MakeEveryCheckpointInferableCallback copies required HF files (preprocessor_config, chat_template, etc.) into each checkpoint. Verify these
  exist in the checkpoint being benchmarked, otherwise from_pretrained will fail.

I see you've already patched `SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES` in the qwen3 repo to add Indic languages. Let me pull that change and update the benchmark to force languages properly:

Also increase `max-new-tokens` as suggested. The ckpt-72000 run is already going with the old script, but it'll use fallback auto-detect for non-Hindi/English which should still work. Let me wait for it to finish:

# Qwen3-ASR Indic Benchmark Analysis Report
## ckpt-24000 vs ckpt-72000 on indic-asr-benchmark-6k

### Metrics Explanation

| Metric | Description | Industry Standard? |
|--------|-------------|--------------------|
| **WER** (Word Error Rate) | Primary ASR metric. Measures (insertions + deletions + substitutions) / reference words. | Yes - universal standard |
| **CER** (Character Error Rate) | Same as WER but at character level. Critical for morphologically rich / agglutinative languages (Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada). | Yes - especially for CJK, Indic |
| **WER-normalized** | WER after text normalization: NFC unicode, lowercase, punctuation removal, whitespace collapse. Removes surface-level mismatches. | Yes - all major benchmarks (OpenASR, CommonVoice) normalize |
| **CER-normalized** | Same normalization applied to CER. | Yes |

*Note: "Space-normalized WER" isn't a formal separate metric - it's part of standard normalization. Our WER-normalized covers this.*

### Key Findings

#### 1. Strong overall progress: 48k more steps = ~11% relative WER improvement
- **Overall WER**: 45.38% -> 40.58% (-4.80 absolute, +10.6% relative)
- **Overall CER**: 19.83% -> 15.45% (-4.38 absolute, +22.1% relative)
- The model is clearly learning and improving across the board.

#### 2. Marathi: The biggest winner (+31% relative improvement)
- WER dropped from 62.82% to 43.35% (-19.47 absolute)
- CER dropped from 35.92% to 17.33% (-18.59 absolute)
- **Root cause**: At ckpt-24000, the model frequently **misidentified Marathi as Gujarati** (both use similar Devanagari/Gujarati scripts). By ckpt-72000, the language detection is fixed - the model correctly identifies and transcribes in Marathi script.
- This is a language confusion fix, not just transcription accuracy improvement.

#### 3. Punjabi: The only regression (-8% relative)
- WER went UP from 32.41% to 35.01% (+2.60 absolute)
- CER went UP from 14.89% to 17.57% (+2.68 absolute)
- Sample analysis shows the regression is subtle - both checkpoints handle common words well, but ckpt-72000 makes slightly more errors on proper nouns and place names. This could be catastrophic forgetting or training data distribution shift at 72k steps.
- **Action needed**: Check if Punjabi training data proportion dropped, or if the learning rate schedule is causing instability for this language.

#### 4. Language tiers by difficulty

**Tier 1 - Strong (<20% WER-norm):**
- Hindi: 10.04% (already near-converged at 24k, barely improved)
- English: 14.66% (good baseline, slight regression on normalized WER)

**Tier 2 - Good (20-30% WER-norm):**
- Gujarati: 22.86%
- Punjabi: 28.46%

**Tier 3 - Moderate (30-40% WER-norm):**
- Bengali: 30.42% (big improvement from 39.21%)
- Telugu: 34.14%
- Marathi: 37.86% (massive jump from 58.72%)
- Odia: 38.69%

**Tier 4 - Needs work (>40% WER-norm):**
- Kannada: 42.13%
- Tamil: 47.82%
- Malayalam: 49.65%
- Assamese: 53.38%

#### 5. Tamil: interesting progress pattern
- Large WER improvement (-9.59) but the model still hallucinates in wrong scripts sometimes.
- At 24k, one Tamil sample was transcribed in **Malayalam script** entirely. By 72k, this is fixed to Tamil.
- Shows the model is still resolving script/language boundaries for Dravidian languages.

#### 6. Hindi & English: already plateaued
- Hindi barely moved (14.07 -> 14.04 WER), suggesting the base Qwen3 model already had strong Hindi capability from pretraining.
- English similarly stable. Further gains for these languages would likely need domain-specific data, not more steps.

### Recommendations

1. **Continue training** - 11% relative improvement in 48k steps is solid progress. Most languages are still improving.
2. **Investigate Punjabi regression** - Could be data distribution, LR schedule, or catastrophic forgetting. Consider adding more Punjabi data.
3. **Dravidian languages need more data** - Tamil/Malayalam/Kannada are the weakest. Their agglutinative morphology makes them harder; more training data + CER-focused loss weighting could help.
4. **Assamese plateau** - Only 1.8% relative improvement suggests the model is struggling. Assamese has the least training data (from IndicVoices vs Kathbath for others); data quantity may be the bottleneck.
5. **Next checkpoint eval** - Run again at ~120k-150k steps to see if Punjabi regression persists and whether Tier 3/4 languages continue improving.

### RTF (Real-Time Factor)

| Checkpoint | Inference Time | Audio Duration | RTF |
|------------|---------------|----------------|-----|
| ckpt-24000 | 2472.6s | 40354s | 0.0613 |
| ckpt-72000 | ~2500s | 40354s | ~0.062 |

Both checkpoints run at ~16x real-time on single GPU with batch_size=16, which is good for evaluation throughput.
