R2T2 adapts Qwen3-ASR-1.7B for streaming speech recognition, training its decoder to release stable text while keeping the pretrained audio encoder and projector frozen. Its Longest Stable Prefix labels identify whole earlier outputs that match the model’s full-audio output. At 160-ms chunks and U=1, total macro error is 5.76%, versus 21.01% for the unadapted model; retrospective lag is not serving latency.
