Hugging Face ships two Swift packages for on-device speech and decision models on Apple platforms

According to a post on X by @mattt, Hugging Face has released two new Swift packages, AnySpeechRecognizer and AnyDecisionModel, that bring open models from the Hub to Apple platforms. The speech package implements Apple's new speech-to-text API and works with engines such as NVIDIA Parakeet and Qwen3-ASR, plus speaker diarization. The post also says the decision model package is included. Early uses were shown by pcuenq and finnvoorhees, including a third-party speech model plugged in.

Two new Swift packages bring open models from the Hub to on-device speech recognition (implementing Apple's new speech-to-text API with engines like NVIDIA Parakeet and Qwen3-ASR, plus speaker diarization) and decision models. pcuenq and finnvoorhees showed early uses, including a third-party speech model plugged...

Developers building speech features for iPhone, iPad, or Mac could use open models from the Hub with Apple's new speech-to-text API. The early examples suggest third-party models can be added to this setup. Watch for how widely the packages are adopted in real apps, since the source only describes early uses.

Hardware and robotics watchers may want to track whether this becomes a product, benchmark, or deployment signal.
