Beam search is much slower than greedy since it expands multiple hypotheses per step. Regarding KenLM shallow fusion — that's a more involved setup since Qwen3-ASR is an encoder-decoder transformer (not CTC/RNNT), so n-gram fusion would need to be applied during generate() via a custom LogitsProcessor. I can prototype that after we see the beam sweep results — if beam search alone gives good gains, shallow fusion on top would compound.
