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)

I am running the MLX fork https://huggingface.co/vanch007/mlx-MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize

Generally labs don't release MLX or ANE versions and we must rely on finding someone who's converted it

Parakeet is not multilingual so not directly comparable

Where do you see 16GB? MOSS is smaller than Parakeet at 1.82GB

Thanks, I didn't see vanch007 version at first (only ~30 downloads), I usually look at mlx-community. For the size I was looking at the wrong model (TTS not transcribe-diarize), thanks for the corrections.
