hearing.backends.mlx_whisper.config

Configuration for the mlx-whisper backend (Whisper on Apple Silicon via MLX).

mlx-whisper is Apple’s (ml-explore) port of OpenAI Whisper to MLX: it runs on the M-series GPU with unified memory, and returns openai-whisper-shaped results (segments, optional word timestamps). macOS on Apple Silicon only.

model is either a Hugging Face repo id ("mlx-community/whisper-large-v3-turbo", the default) or a bare Whisper size ("tiny", "base", "small", "medium", "large-v3", "turbo"), resolved by hearing.backends.mlx_whisper.adapter.resolve_model_repo().
