MetalRT adds VLM support and wins every decode benchmark. 279 tok/s vision decode, 92ms time-to-output, 1.22x faster than mlx-vlm across all resolutions on a single M4 Max.
Source: Blog / news
MetalRT becomes the first inference engine to handle LLMs, Speech-to-Text, and Text-to-Speech on Apple Silicon. 101ms to transcribe 70 seconds of audio. 178ms to synthesize speech. 4.6x faster than Apple MLX.

Source: Blog / news
We added hybrid retrieval (BM25 + vector search) to our on-device voice pipeline. Retrieval adds less than 4ms. The real cost is LLM prefill — but word-level flushing absorbs it. Sub-200ms first-audio on 5,016 chunks with zero cloud dependencies.
Source: Blog / news
FastVoice achieves 63ms first-audio latency — well under the 200ms perceptual threshold — by composing STT, LLM, and TTS into a single C++ pipeline on Apple Silicon. No cloud. No network. Just speed.
