The American startup Useful Sensors has launched an open-source speech recognition model called Moonshine. Moonshine is designed to process audio data more efficiently, using computational resources more economically and achieving processing speeds five times faster than OpenAI's Whisper. This new model is specifically built for real-time applications on resource-constrained hardware and features a flexible architecture. Unlike Whisper, which processes audio in fixed 30-second segments, Moonshine offers a different approach.
