Kea-T · running live in your browser

Speech intelligence you can take into the wilderness.

Specialized speech models engineered for tight power and memory budgets. Recognition runs entirely on your hardware.

Kea-T, live.
600M parameters. 181 MB.
Running on your GPU.

Named for the kea, New Zealand's alpine parrot: clever, hardy and at home where few birds survive. Our models share that ethos, built small to work in hard places.

Derived from NVIDIA's Parakeet-TDT 0.6B v2, with 98% of its weights constrained to ternary values {−1, 0, +1}. Your audio never leaves this tab.

Context shapes the model.
Vocabulary, acoustics and device limits.

Domain training

Specialized terminology and task-specific examples teach each model the distinctions its users depend on.

domain

Field acoustics

Wind, rotor wash, radio traffic. We train around the sounds that compete with a user's voice.

field

Device budgets

Compute, memory and battery limits guide model size and architecture from the start.

03

Efficiency at every layer.
Architecture, precision and runtime designed together.

FastConformer-TDT

A 24-layer FastConformer encoder with token-and-duration decoding, which skips ahead over frames instead of stepping through every one.

arch

GPU-native kernels

Custom compute kernels read the packed 2-bit weights directly: on datacenter GPUs, on laptops, and in this page through WebGPU.

kernels

Ternary weights

Every large encoder matrix holds only −1, 0 or +1, with one scale per row: 181 MB on disk against 2,472 MB for the original, at 6.84% mean WER versus 6.45%.

Local deployment

Model files are checked against a published SHA-256 before they run. Audio stays on your device, with no telemetry or cloud dependency.
