To be fair on the other side there is a fair lack of specific ML inference libraries in Rust, and this project is pushing some of that forward with Parakeet at the very least. The Rust library `transcribe-rs` came from it and hopefully will support more models in the future.
While certainly it's not an ML project in the sense of I am not training models, the inference stack is just as important. The fact is the application does do inference using ONNX and Whisper.cpp.
