Why we chose Core ML over MLX
James Seddon , Founder
When we started building transcription for Sequence, we weren’t chasing benchmarks... but then we went and broke one.
Does Sequence…
Your questions, answered.
What is Sequence Tool?
Sequence is a rough-cut editor for spoken video. Helping you cut repetition, organize ideas, search your media, and export a clean timeline to Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve for the creative finish.
What transcription model does Sequence use?
Sequence uses NVIDIA’s Parakeet v3, one of the most accurate speech recognition models available. We’ve converted it to Core ML so it runs entirely on your Mac using Apple’s Neural Engine, CPU and GPU, meaning transcription is fast, efficient, and completely private with no audio ever leaving your device.
What Mac hardware and macOS version do I need?
Sequence requires macOS Sequoia 15 or later and Apple Silicon, that means from M1 onwards only.
