Using launch day Opus 4.1 to update the Oxide website after our Series B feels like taking a Ferrari to the grocery store. But a joyride is fun and I'll take the assist vs repetitively copying and pasting various pieces of article information 🤝

I'd forgive you for assuming that we merely integrate components fully designed and manufactured overseas; that's how most computer companies work today. But did you know that our system PCBs are designed in-house and laid down in Ontario or Chippewa Falls and our products carry a USA COO?

MacWhisper now supports Nvidia’s impossibly fast Parakeet transcription model
MacWhisper has long been one of the best and easiest ways to transcribe anything on a Mac. I’ve relied on it heavily since it launched, and I can’t recommend it enough. Today, it got even better with an update that adds support for Nvidia’s insanely fast Parakeet model. And I mean fast.
