What's New

CLI now automatically selects GGML backend on Macs without CUDA

New Features

  • Automatic GGML selection for Apple Silicon Macs when CUDA is unavailable
  • Metal runtime included in standard Apple Silicon installs

Improvements

  • Improved usability by removing the need for explicit `--backend ggml` flag on Mac
  • Standard Apple Silicon installs now include required Metal runtime dependencies

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed CLI to work on supported Macs without requiring the `--backend ggml` flag

Upgrade Notes

Install with `uv pip install -U faster-qwen3-tts`. Note that Metal wheels require macOS 14+ on ARM64; Intel Macs and Rosetta Python are not supported.
