Desert Ant Labs: local, fast models that run on device

Desert Ant Labs released 18 on-device AI models—including Voz, which transcribes ten minutes of audio in two seconds, and Clear, a 9 MB model that upgrades five-minute recordings to studio quality in one second—available through a single SDK for Swift, Kotlin and JavaScript. All models run on legacy hardware, cost nothing up to 100 k monthly active devices, and keep data entirely local, eliminating token fees and cloud dependence.
