I wish my first internship were this productive!
Here is our second @argmax intern who killed it this summer:

MacWhisper 15.2 is out now and introduces the new NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Diarization model for speaker recognition. Thanks to @argmax for helping us add support on day 0!

You can test this model today without writing any code by installing Argmax Playground on your Mac or iPhone here: testflight.apple.com/join/Q1…
Benchmarks
We benchmarked 6 speaker diarization systems across 11 datasets representing diverse and challenging real-world conditions using OpenBench: github.com/argmaxinc/OpenBen…
- Nemotron 3 Diarization achieved the lowest error rate (DER) across all 6 systems.
- It also scored the lowest across 5 of the 11 datasets despite its maximum speaker constraint of 8.
- This represents a huge leap in accuracy compared to its predecessor Sortformer v2.1 whose error rate was 60% higher.

Our interns @argmax built a groundbreaking harness for open-weight TTS models!
Check out @RmdW_W's explainer thread below:
Open-weight TTS models can look remarkably close to the best closed-weight models on benchmarks and demos. But are they reliable enough to actually replace them?
We stress-test Qwen3-TTS and VoxCPM2 in real-world scenarios, uncover reliability failures that standard evaluations miss, and develop an inference harness that eliminates the reliability gap. 🧵

We have been building an iOS app in stealth and we just hit private beta today!
> Life-like voices running on your iPhone
> Listen to anything: Books, PDFs, articles, emails...
> Works offline as you commute or travel
Beta testers who submit feedback will get a free lifetime license. DM me if you want an invite.
Argmax Pro SDK 3.0.6 is in stable release!
Test real-time Qwen3-ASR on your iPhone or Mac without writing code at Argmax Playground: testflight.apple.com/join/Q1…
Introducing Argmax Pro SDK 3!
- Frontier* multilingual speech-to-text on iOS with Qwen3-ASR-1.7b
- Real-time API with custom vocabulary and word timestamps in under 2 GB
- New Dictation API optimized for post-recording latency
Also in this release:
- By popular demand: Unpredictable recompilation latency from Core ML is gone!
- Canonical formatting for dates and numbers in transcripts
TestFlight link in replies.
*Ranks at the top of the OpenASR private leaderboard. Private data deters leaderboard hacking.
Argmax Playground 3.0.2 is out on TestFlight with Qwen3-ASR-1.7b on iOS!

If you are just curious, Argmax Playground is on TestFlight, and our latest update (3.0.2) is under Apple review. It should be available momentarily.
In case you are not on our TestFlight already, here is the invite link: testflight.apple.com/join/Q1…
For current Argmax customers, this new model works with the APIs you are already familiar with!
Simply update your dependency to 3.0.2 and get started with the examples in the CHANGELOG: app.argmaxinc.com/docs/chang…

Apple restricted background access to the Neural Engine on iOS 27... and it's back!
This would have broken on-device inference for many apps that rely on this access, including many of our customers.
We made a strong case to Apple that this access should be reinstated, channeling our customers' voice.
We are elated that Apple reinstated this capability in the first iOS 27 Public Beta!
Here is the step-by-step guide in our docs: app.argmaxinc.com/docs/faq#q…

This work has been accepted at Interspeech 2026!
Come visit the @argmax booth in Sydney this September to learn about our other advancements in speech and speaker recognition.
