Overview
FluidAudio auto-downloads models from HuggingFace on first use. For offline or air-gapped environments, stage the CoreML bundles manually.Per-Module Guides
Each module has specific assets and loading APIs:- ASR: Manual Model Loading — 4 CoreML bundles + vocabulary
- Diarization: Getting Started — segmentation + embedding models
- VAD: Getting Started — single Silero VAD bundle
General Pattern
- Download assets via Git LFS, HuggingFace web UI, or copy from a machine that already ran the auto-downloader
- Stage in a directory matching the expected layout
- Call the
loadAPI with the staged directory URL
Cache Locations
Models are cached at~/Library/Application Support/FluidAudio/Models/<repo> on macOS after first download.
