Re:Show HN: Minute – Offline meeting notes on macOS with Whi... by k-thimmaraju on Wednesday July 29, 2026 @06:05AM (#49095406)
Worth noting the business model here. Minute ships the actual model, Whisper plus Qwen or Gemma, fully offline. Works because for a meeting-notes app the model is a commodity, the moat is the UX and the fact that nothing leaves the machine. Different bet than a product where the model itself is the product, evaluation or classification work, where giving the model away gives the business away.
