DeepFilterNet3-CoreML is an open-weight audio or speech model from aufklarer, listed in the AxForge catalogue. AxForge can bring it up on EU-owned hardware for you on request — with the licence handled where one is required.
About
DeepFilterNet3 — CoreML INT8 Real-time speech enhancement for Apple Silicon. Removes background noise from speech audio. Runs on Neural Engine via CoreML. - 2.1M params, INT8 k-means palettization, 2.2 MB - 48 kHz native, 10 ms frames - Requires macOS 14+ / iOS 17+ Quality Measured on 30 VoiceBank-DEMAND test clips via Python CoreMLBackend (replaces only the NN forward; keeps the PyTorch STFT / ERB / deep-filter post-processing intact). INT8 matches FP16 within run-to-run noise (ΔPESQ +0.006, ΔSI-SDR −0.07 dB, STOI identical) while cutting size by 48%.

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys deepfilternet3-coreml for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (deepfilternet3-coreml below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/audio/transcriptions \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \ -F model="deepfilternet3-coreml" -F file=@audio.mp3
Licence
Open weights under apache-2.0 — commercial use is permitted. Deploy it on AxForge EU hardware on request. Read the licence ↗
