alt Hacker NewsFor multilingual and noisy audio the best right now is MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize which was released just a few days ago
Superwhisper does a lot more than just provide a whisper/parakeet UI so I’m not sure Apple will destroy them so easily

Interesting! And what would you say are MTD top competitors?

16GB! (edit: this is wrong, I was looking at TTS, the transcribe model is 1.7GB). Compared to Parakeet 2.3GB (but no diarization).
Also doesn't seem to be tailored to Apple hardware (i.e. no MLX or ANE variant/implementation)

Thanks, was looking at a better diarization model.
Even for those sorts of apps, MacParakeet which I've been using is FOSS so no payment needed. In reality these days with AI the ability to spin up a free and/or OSS competitor falls to zero.
