QVAC-22154 chore[skiplog]: e2e remove unused translation models and optimize parakeet quantization by Victor-Rodzko · Pull Request #3283 · tetherto/qvac

Victor-Rodzko · 2026-07-15T10:37:02Z

🎯 What problem does this PR solve?

SDK e2e test suite downloads ~4.78 GiB of unused or oversized models, increasing mobile bootstrap time and CI duration
Salamandra and AfriqueGemma translation models are no longer maintained or used in production
Parakeet models use Q8_0 quantization when Q4_0 provides sufficient quality for e2e testing

📝 How does it solve it?

Remove Salamandra (1.34 GiB) and AfriqueGemma (2.65 GiB) models, tests, and resource definitions
Replace Parakeet Q8_0 models with Q4_0 variants (~780 MiB savings)
Clean up all references in desktop, electron, and mobile consumers

🧪 How was it tested?

Local e2e test runs on all platforms (desktop, electron, mobile) — all tests pass

📦 Models

Removed models

SALAMANDRATA_2B_INST_Q4
AFRICAN_4B_TRANSLATION_Q4_K_M

Changed models (Q8_0 → Q4_0)

PARAKEET_TDT_0_6B_V3_Q8_0 → PARAKEET_TDT_0_6B_V3_Q4_0
PARAKEET_CTC_0_6B_Q8_0 → PARAKEET_CTC_0_6B_Q4_0
PARAKEET_SORTFORMER_4SPK_V2_1_Q8_0 → PARAKEET_SORTFORMER_4SPK_V2_1_Q4_0
PARAKEET_EOU_120M_V1_Q8_0 → PARAKEET_EOU_120M_V1_Q4_0

…antization - Remove Salamandra (SALAMANDRATA_2B_INST_Q4) and AfriqueGemma (AFRICAN_4B_TRANSLATION_Q4_K_M) models and tests per TL feedback - Replace Parakeet Q8_0 models with Q4_0 variants to reduce mobile download footprint by ~780 MiB - Total model payload reduction: ~4.78 GiB
