A 1.58-bit version of parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3. Same architecture, same tokenizer, but every encoder weight is -1, 0 or +1. It fits in 178 MB, runs at 113× real time on eight x86 CPU cores, 2.5× the fastest other Parakeet runtime we measured, and stays within 0.3 WER of the original on English while beating it on the 25-language FLEURS set and on long-form audio. Its sibling Parakeet Ultra is the full-precision version of the same architecture, trained further, for GPUs: better than the original on every benchmark. Read the release post for the story behind both models. Run it with Photon, which reads the packed weights directly: AVX-512 VNNI on x86, NEON on ARM, Metal on Apple GPUs. Every speed number on this page is Photon. Real-time factor: seconds of audio transcribed per second of wall clock, one utterance at a time, higher is faster. The other rows are the fastest…

Base-model lineage was not included.
Parameter count is not a RAM/VRAM requirement. Check precision, quantization, context length and runtime compatibility in the model card; no hardware or API-cost claim is inferred here.
Use and evaluate
Check license terms and access requirements first. Review the model card’s documented loading instructions, evaluations and safety limitations. Benchmark scores are not imported by this directory, and popularity is not an accuracy ranking.
No model weights are downloaded or executed by AltAPIs. Never enable remote model code without reviewing it.
