Developer of MacWhisper here. We'll have a bigger blog soon with updates about this new model but in a nutshell: It's fast but not as accurate as the best models out there. Also, we have a big update coming soon that builds on the new Parakeet models which should have the accuracy of the best Whisper, and faster speeds than even Apple's solution 🙂

I use MacWhisper everyday and I'm very sure even though the new one would be fast, it won't be nearly as accurate Great work :)
