    Today's task: model compression!!

    🎯 Goal: Compress a large, general-purpose multimodal model, making speech translation more efficient ⚡️, deployable 📲, and sustainable ♻️, while preserving translation quality ⭐️
    #AI #SpeechTech #ModelCompression #LLMcompression

    First up, a new task for 2025:
    *Instruction-following for speech processing!*

    Explore instruction-following for speech ⇨
    Integrate speech foundation models with LLMs across tasks such as speech translation, recognition, summarization, and QA.
