Description

Willow is launching two new voice AI models: Willow Frontier Pro and Willow Frontier Mini. Frontier Pro is our most powerful dictation model. It is built for people who want fast, accurate, and polished writing anywhere they work. Frontier mini is lightweight and completely free to use. On our free plan, users get unlimited access to this model. It's faster and more accurate than other AI dictation tools.

Could you build this?

No Training frontier-grade automated speech recognition (ASR) dictation models from scratch requires proprietary voice datasets, custom acoustic/language model architectures, and large GPU clusters.

What it would actually take: Developing models like Willow Frontier Pro requires curating hundreds of thousands of hours of labeled multilingual speech audio with diverse accents and background noise. The engineering stack relies on PyTorch/JAX, distributed training across GPU clusters (H100/A100), customized Whisper-like or CTC/Conformer architectures, and extensive optimization for low-latency streaming inference using ONNX, CoreML, or TensorRT-LLM.
