Desert Ant Labs debuts 18 on-device models with native SDKs, led by Voz speech-to-text
Desert Ant Labs, a European lab spun out of the Apple Design Award-winning video app Detail, launched 18 small on-device models for audio, vision and text with Swift, Kotlin and JavaScript SDKs. Voz transcribes 10 minutes of speech in about 2 seconds on an iPhone from a 467 MB model (Whisper large-v3-turbo is 1.6 GB); the suite also includes Redact for PII detection, Clips for highlight picking and Clear for speech enhancement. Weights are on Hugging Face under a source-available license and are free up to 100k monthly active devices per SDK.
