750 points on HN. A ggml-based ASR inference library built as a drop-in whisper.cpp replacement, shipped through Mozilla.ai's Builders in Residence program by the maintainer of the Handy speech-to-text app. GPU acceleration via Vulkan, Metal, CUDA and TinyBLAS, and every supported model is numerically validated and WER-tested against its reference implementation. First-party bindings for Python, JS/TS, Rust and ObjC/Swift. Cross-platform distribution is the actual problem it solves, not accuracy.
