lmfao fucking genius move by Apple.
Siri now becomes the #1 AI model without ever running its own model or spending a dollar on training 😂
let me explain:
- Claude, chatgpt, gemini can now plug into Siri’s 2.5 billion users
- so Siri becomes the default interface for AI chatbots = gets ALL the credit
- Apple will likely tax 30% of all chatgpt, claude subs via appstore = more $$$$$
- Apple becomes the distribution layer for everyone else’s AI. taxes the app layer
- oh and apple STILL HAS ACCESS to gemini’s model weights to build their own fucking foundation model 😂
silver lining for anthropic: they’ve been behind in consumer users - now apple gives them access to 2.5B of them 👍🏽👍🏽
the AI economy will run on ios and apple and they barely lifted a finger to do it
genius

🚨 OpenAI charges $0.006/minute. Google charges $0.024. AWS charges $0.024.
Someone just open sourced a tool that does it for $0. And it's faster than all of them.
It's called Insanely Fast Whisper. And that's not hype. That's the benchmark.
150 minutes of audio. 98 seconds to transcribe. On your own machine. No API key. No cloud. No per-minute billing.
Here's what the numbers look like:
→ Whisper Large v3 + Flash Attention 2: 150 min of audio in 98 seconds
→ Distil Whisper + Flash Attention 2: 150 min in 78 seconds
→ Standard Whisper without optimization: 31 minutes for the same job
→ That's a 19x speedup. Same model. Same accuracy. Just faster.
Here's what it does:
→ One command to transcribe any audio file or URL
→ Speaker diarization — knows WHO said WHAT
→ Transcription AND translation to other languages
→ Runs on NVIDIA GPUs and Mac (Apple Silicon)
→ Flash Attention 2 for maximum speed
→ Clean JSON output with timestamps
→ Works with every Whisper model variant
Here's the wildest part:
Otter.ai charges $100/year. Rev charges $1.50/minute. Descript charges $24/month. Enterprise transcription contracts cost thousands.
Podcasters, journalists, researchers, lawyers, content creators — anyone still paying for transcription is lighting money on fire.

@TheWavexyz @nisedo_ I have eaten it a couple of times, it was always pretty good and one of the few non-overpriced things i have eaten in Cannes honestly. Think the lasagna is also pretty good
