It all depends on your hardware and throughput requirements. Suppose

1. I were building for my work laptop (M4 Max, 36GB RAM)

2. I had a batched use cases (transcribing + making action items for all meetings in a day)

I would use the LFM3-Audio-2B for ASR (audio -> text transcript) and then LFM3-1.7B for extracting particular action items and adding them to my tool of choice (Linear, Jira, Notes app, etc).

If you can fine-tune (100+ labeled samples, and a GPU), you likely can fine-tune LFM3-Audio-2B for audio -> action items in a single step.

Thank you for an update. Single step does sound exciting, look forward to check it out once I have the full system and data in place. Would LFM3-Audio-2B provide timestamps and speaker labels for each action item? Did you guys train it for any of those?

unfortunately it's not a strong multi-speaker/diarized output audio model. It's a future goal but it doesn't have a timeline. If you have the hardware, I think fine-tuning might be possible.
