MODEL PROFILE

parakeet-redux

moondream · parakeet-redux

A 1.58-bit version of parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3. Same architecture, same tokenizer, but every encoder weight is -1, 0 or +1. It fits in 178 MB, runs at 113× real time on eight x86 CPU cores, 2.5× the fastest other Parakeet runtime we measured, and stays within 0.3 WER of the original on English while beating it on the 25-language FLEURS set and on long-form audio. Its sibling Parakeet Ultra is the full-precision version of the same architecture, trained further, for GPUs: better than the original on every benchmark. Read the release post for the story behind both models. Run it with Photon, which reads the packed weights directly: AVX-512 VNNI on x86, NEON on ARM, Metal on Apple GPUs. Every speed number on this page is Photon.

Limitations & considerations

Sources are insufficient to establish specific limitations. Verify task performance, latency, data policies, licensing and version lifecycle.

PRICING & COST

Source prices & cost analysis

Prices vary by channel, region and configuration. Channel quotes are listed independently and are not treated as a single official provider price.

Frequently asked questions

Do open weights permit free commercial use?

Not necessarily. Check the version license, commercial conditions and usage policies. Self-hosting incurs compute and maintenance costs.

Are these real-time billing prices?

These are timestamped source snapshots, not live billing prices. Check the channel for current versions, regions, discounts and billing methods.
