Claiming higher accuracy than Whisper Large v3 is a bold opening move. Does your evaluation account for Whisper's notorious hallucination loops during silences (the classic 'Thank you for watching!'), or is this purely based on WER on clean datasets? Also, what's the VRAM footprint for edge deployments? If it fits on a standard 8GB Mac without quantization tricks, this is huge.
