Moondream: Parakeet Ultra

moondream/parakeet-ultra

Model weights

Parakeet Ultra is Moondream's post-trained version of NVIDIA's Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3 speech-to-text model, with the same architecture, tokenizer, and 0.6B parameters. It lowers word error rate on the Open ASR Leaderboard English sets (5.80% vs 6.26%) and the 25-language FLEURS set (9.55% vs 11.62%), with larger gains on noisy and long-form audio. Supports 25 European languages and returns transcribed text with segment and word timestamps.

Providers

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request without routing.

Pricing

The average price customers actually pay for this model, next to the prices providers post. Caching and discounts mean the price actually paid is often well below the listed one.

Performance

Latency is how long it takes to return the full transcript (lower is better). Speed is seconds of audio transcribed per second of waiting (higher is better).

Uptime

Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and provider routing options.
