Parakeet-TDT scores 85 on any GPU-equipped English-capable system (Instant
speed + Great accuracy + GPU boost + headroom) vs ~75 for the best distilled
Whisper. A new test in recommendation.rs locks this in so future scoring
tweaks don't silently regress it.
FirstRunPage previously stored settings.modelSize by title-casing a lowercased
alias — which worked for Tiny/Base/Small/Medium but produced
"Whisper-distil-small-en" for the new distil ids. Swap to an id→label map
and pass the raw model id through to download_model/load_model; the backend
already accepts full ids via the whisper_model_id fallback.
