AI overview

Hugging Face announced AnySpeechRecognizer and AnyDecisionModel, two Swift packages that give Apple-platform developers access to speech recognition and structured answers using local models or hosted backends. Both support downloading open models from the Hugging Face Hub and require Swift 6.2 or later and macOS 26 or iOS 26 or later. AnySpeechRecognizer mirrors Apple’s speech APIs, adds local NVIDIA Parakeet and Alibaba Qwen3-ASR engines running through Core ML, and supports speaker diarization for up to four speakers. The reported speech evaluations cover macOS only; the authors have not yet tested it on iPhones. AnyDecisionModel returns typed answers and probabilities for yes-or-no, multiple-choice and rating-scale questions through local or hosted backends. The Parakeet and Sortformer runtimes and the MLX backend require Apple silicon.
