i reverse engineered wispr flow, then used deepseek to fine-tune LFM3-1.7B. the result is on par with the wispr flow models you pay for, and it's free, open source and runs entirely on your mac. key-up latency is 65 ms on my m4 max vs ~520 ms for wispr flow on the same clips. a 6 minute yap session pacing around my office still lands in about a quarter second. > rust backend with a native metal engine: each decode step runs as one fused megakernel > a dflash2 speculative drafter is built into the engine, trained on my local 4 x rtx pro 6000 server > parakeet transcribes, LFM3-1.7B refines. both stream while you talk, so key-up only waits on the last chunk > never leaves your macbook, so slow internet or bad ping is no longer an issue > import your own dictionary of terms for your workflow > i picked every default myself. it feels amazing out of the box > adapts to the app you're in: discord is lowercase casual, slack and email are formal, claude code gets clear prompts > training data: 77k transcripts of public audio and synthetic dictations, each rewritten by deepseek v4.1 flash 1017 following a written spec of what "what you meant" means, in 4 writing modes. none of my own dictations went into it > blind judge (claude opus) on an hour of lectures: phonon's text preferred 90 times, wispr's 23 > built with claude opus 5.5 [xhigh] brew install --cask infatoshi/tap/phonon
