Earlier today I discovered Vibe: https://github.com/thewh1teagle/vibe

Local, using WhisperX. Precompiled binaries available.

I'm hoping to find and try a local-first version of an nvidia/canary like (like https://huggingface.co/nvidia/canary-qwen-2.5b) since it's almost twice as fast as Whisper with even lower word-error-rate

Been using WhisperX myself for years. The big factor is the diarization they offer through pyannotate in the single package. I do like the software even if they make some weird choices and configuration issues.

Allegedly Groq will be offering diarization with their cloud offering and super fast API which will be huge for those willing to go off-local.

Awesome, thank you so much for bringing this to my attention! Always cool to see other open source projects that have better implementations :) much to learn!
