Apple’s speech transcription AI is twice as fast and cost-effective as OpenAI’s Whisper, according to early testing by MacStories. The AI is used in Apple’s apps like Notes and phone call transcriptions, and Apple has made its native speech frameworks available to developers within macOS Tahoe. The AI processes a 7GBm 34-minute video file in just 45 seconds, 55% faster than Whisper’s fastest model. This is due to Apple processing speech on the device, making it faster and more secure. This indicates that Apple will continue to introduce new Language Learning Models (LLMs) to drive software solutions that compete well in the market, boosted by privacy and price.
