Better models than… whisper, cohere, parakeet v2/v3? Did I miss the comparison on the webpage?

Is it just the models I’m paying for, or an app too?

I’ve been using anomalyco/HEX and MacParakeet… which are free and work great for my uses…

Yes, I have used Handy, a lot. Open Models need the system around them to keep getting better. Also faster.

The models you have quoted take a lot of RAM, especially on Mac. That's why I am optimizing my models too.
