## Speech and voice evidence

[Phonon-2 launch evaluation](/voice-benchmarks/phonon-2-launch-evaluation)

Fermion ran Phonon-2, Phonon-1, and Parakeet Redux with the Open ASR Leaderboard code on full test sets. The other accuracy rows are leaderboard figures quoted by Fermion, without independent re-verification here. Some model cards report different runs; those values are not mixed into this comparison. Voxtral's download size is an estimate at 16 bits. Throughput includes log-mel processing and excludes model load; batch-128 GPU results are separate from single-stream results. The Mac runtime comparison uses 20 dictations totaling 797 seconds at each runtime's defaults. Download size does not measure runtime memory. These results do not enter text-model or voice-agent rankings.

| Metric | Result |
| --- | --- |
| Seven-set mean WER | 5.69% |
| LibriSpeech clean WER | 1.94% |
| LibriSpeech other WER | 4.35% |
| AMI WER | 9.16% |
| Earnings-22 WER | 7.90% |
| GigaSpeech WER | 8.62% |
| SPGISpeech WER | 4.01% |
| VoxPopuli WER | 3.87% |

Fermion-run; Fermion launch table retrieved September 30, 2026. Lower WER is better; throughput excludes model load.

Open low-bit speech recognition weights under CC-BY-4.0, based on Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3 and supporting 25 languages. Moondream documents CPU, Apple silicon, and CUDA inference. The figures here are from Fermion's evaluation; Moondream publishes a different run on its own model card.
