Uploaded to Hugging Face on 2026-09-09 and now at 3,066 downloads, Orukeet is a finetune of nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3 under CC-BY-SA-4.0, tagged for 25 languages from Bulgarian to Ukrainian and packaged as nemo, GGUF, ONNX and sherpa-onnx. It surfaced on r/LocalLLaMA (87 upvotes) via OpenWhispr recommending it, with the poster explicitly noting they had not tested it and that the claim is better-than-Parakeet performance especially on Macs. Treat the quality claim as unverified; the packaging breadth is the concrete part.
