Introducing Live Subtitles, a Windows tray app that captions anything your PC is playing and isn't butt ugly. live and fully local. It runs NVIDIA's Parakeet-unified 0.6B on your GPU, puts words on screen about 0.36 s after they're spoken, and uses less than one CPU core while it does it.

I built a benchmark for it out of real TV, podcasts, earnings calls and a short film. Parakeet-unified scores 12.1% WER there, close to Nemotron streaming's 11.4%, but with much better punctuation and lower worst-case delay. Once a caption is on screen it never gets rewritten or jumps lines, and the overlay disappears when nobody's talking.

No NVIDIA GPU? It falls back to Nemotron on the CPU, which also covers 30 other languages. It can also write SRT/ASS/VTT files for videos on disk.

Windows only. The GPU engine needs an NVIDIA card with ~3.2 GB of free VRAM. MIT.

Edit: the first version of this post said 13.8% vs 17.0%. The replies caught a scoring bug (numbers weren't normalized), so the benchmark now uses Whisper's English normalizer and the numbers above are re-scored.

I implemented the attention-free bidirectional encoder architecture Avey-B for Urdu a compact 24.87M-parameter language encoder built for efficient Urdu NLP research.

Original Avey-B paper: Avey-B (2602.15814)
Urdu model: mahwizzzz/avey-b-ur

Anthropic gave me six months of Claude Max 20x through the Claude for Open Source program, granted based on my Hugging Face work. Thank you
Anthropic
for supporting open source.

So far I've been pointing it at Markdown Minimap, an Obsidian plugin that adds a scrollable IDE-style minimap to your notes. This week I've been clearing a backlog of user-reported issues on it, with Claude often handling them end to end.

https://github.com/Nymbo/Markdown-Minimap — issues and PRs welcome.

Introducing Inflect-v2, two exceptionally small, open-weight English TTS models at just 3.9M and 9.3M parameters. Both generate speech multiple times faster than real-time on CPU. Despite their size, Inflect-v2 delivers quality that is competitive with much larger lightweight TTS systems, including KittenTTS, Piper, and Supertonic-3.

CPU, CUDA, PyTorch, and ONNX are supported. Apache 2.0.

See it for yourselves:
owensong/Inflect-Micro-v2
owensong/Inflect-Nano-v2

Try the Demos:
Nymbo/Inflect-TTS (unlimited CPU usage)
owensong/Inflect-v2 (ultra-fast ZeroGPU usage)

SPROG-9M — a 9.37M parameter model trained from scratch to solve GSM8K-style math without using an LLM at inference.

The model, codelion/sprog-9m, predicts symbolic programs over number slots, then a deterministic executor does the arithmetic. With a simple verifier, it reaches ~11.8% on GSM8K test.

We also released the dataset: codelion/gsm8k-synth, 117K validated synthetic GSM8K-style problems.

Tiny model, no pretraining, no LLM at inference, runs on a laptop.
