Release notes

Sourced from github.com/fluidinference/fluidaudio's releases.

v0.18.0 — Nemotron Unified ASR, Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe Lite, Bark 3.0, Canary translation

New ASR models

• Nemotron Unified ASR 0.6B (#1071): NVIDIA's multilingual Parakeet Unified, 25 European languages, offline and streaming (0.56 s / 1.12 s / 2.08 s latency), on the existing Unified managers via UnifiedConfig(family: .nemotronMultilingual(.de)). CLI: transcribe --model-version nemotron-unified --unified-language de. Models: FluidInference/nemotron-labs-unified-asr-0.6b-coreml.
• Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe Lite (#1069, #1070): the ASR encoder + CTC timestamp head of NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe (no LLM), words with 40 ms start times plus Nemotron-3-Diarization speakers running in parallel on the Neural Engine. A 49.5-min meeting in ~5.5 s on an M5 Pro. CLI: nemotron35-transcribe.
• Underdog Bark 3.0 + Bark 3.0 Clean (#1054): AsrModelVersion.bark3 / .bark3Clean.
• Canary speech translation (#833, #1030): en ↔ 24 European languages via prompt, with pause-aligned long-form decoding.
• Phonon-2 encoder ladder and pause-cut windows: 480× → 650× on long audio (#1019).

TTS: Pocket TTS small models (18m/7m/2m) with the FlowLM on the Neural Engine (#1051), Gradium Phonon 31m (#1053), Paradee-8M v1.2 with four voices and British G2P (#1073), Supertonic 3 v2 bundles (#1002), Kokoro ANE fixes (#1028, #1038, #1048).

Diarization: per-chunk and per-speaker embeddings, embedSpans, configurable segmentation batch size (#992, #1014, #1015, #1018).

Package: TTS and Diarizer are opt-out traits (#1001); the library builds for tvOS 17+ (#1026).
