Samsone: A Family of Open Small Audio Language Models for On-Device Inference

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 18, 2026 · UTC

The success of Large Audio Language Models has driven the development of massive multimodal networks exceeding billions of parameters. However, the demand for privacy-preserving, low-latency processing has shifted focus toward Small Audio Language Models (SALMs) capable of on-device execution. In this paper, we introduce Samsone, a family of SALMs designed for edge computing. Our core model, Samsone-134M, establishes a new state-of-the-art for its size class across multiple benchmarks. We further explore the scaling laws of SALMs by introducing Samsone-99M and Samsone-356M. Despite their compa
