Show HN: Moonshine Open-Weights STT models – higher accuracy than WhisperLargev3

Source: Hacker News

I wanted to share our new speech‑to‑text model, and the library to use them effectively. We’re a small startup (six people, sub‑$100k monthly GPU budget) so I’m proud of the work the team has done to create streaming STT models with lower word‑error rates than OpenAI’s largest Whisper model. Admittedly Large v3 is a couple of years old, but we’re near the top of the HF OpenASR leaderboard, even up against Nvidia’s Parakeet family. I’d love to get feedback on the models and software, and hear about what people might build with it.
