Cue 1.0 — Streaming Offline Models Are Here

Cue 1.0 is here. Real-time streaming transcription that runs entirely on your Mac. No internet. No latency.

By Cue Team

Cue 1.0

This is the one we've been building toward. Cue 1.0 brings streaming offline models to your Mac. Fully on-device, real-time transcription that just works.

Streaming Offline Models

  • Fully offline, fully streaming — transcription happens as you speak, with no cloud round-trip
  • Optimized for real-time speech — low memory and fast inference
  • Works without internet — airplane mode, coffee shop with bad wifi, wherever you are
  • Privacy by default — your voice never leaves your machine

What this means

Previous offline models processed audio in chunks. You'd speak, wait, then see text. Streaming changes that. Words appear as fast as you can say them, even without a connection.

Optimized for Apple Silicon

Runs natively on the Neural Engine for M-series Macs. Expect:

  • Near-zero latency transcription
  • Minimal CPU and memory overhead
  • No thermal throttling, even in long sessions

Why 1.0

We started Cue as the context layer between your brain and your computer. Streaming offline transcription was the foundation that had to be right before everything else. Notes, meetings, agents. All of that is next. But this is the base.

What's next

Notes Mode and Edit Mode are in progress. Stay tuned.
