Choosing Speech Models: Practical Criteria for STT and TTS
Unlike text models, speech models are chosen after the language coverage, audio length constraints, real-time requirement, and diarization need are already fixed. This post lays out the parameters, licenses, language cov

When picking an open text generation model, size is not a quality tier — it is a deployment constraint. This post splits the field into on-device small, single-GPU mid, and server-class large, listing the parameters, con

A line saying a model supports Korean means it processes the language, not that it is good at it. This post lays out the card values read on 2026-08-12 for Korean-focused, bilingual, and multilingual open models, explain

Code models come in two different products: the completion model that fills the cursor position inside an editor, and the conversational model that answers questions. This post organizes the parameters, context, fill-in-

Vision models are not one category. Conversational VLMs, dedicated OCR, document structuring, and image retrieval embeddings are different objects and do not substitute for one another. This post organizes the card value

What decides your embedding model in a RAG build is not a leaderboard rank but dimensionality, maximum input length, prefix conventions, multilingual coverage, and the division of labor with a reranker. This post lays ou

A model card is written in a way that, read top to bottom, keeps you from finding what you need. The benchmark table takes up half the screen while the license and chat template pass by in a single line. This post flips
