commit 2b1a3c1312df4a06199d96d06bcee4fc0473bd7c
Author: transcrilive <transcrilive@MacStudio-de-transcrilive.local>
Date:   Sat May 9 16:05:39 2026 +0200

    feat: initial public release v0.1.0 — MLX port of pyannote-speaker-diarization-3.1
    
    Byte-parity with pyannote-PyTorch reference (cosine 0.763718 identical
    at 6 decimals on 200 cross-window slot pairs). 2.5x faster than
    pyannote-MPS on Apple Silicon native.
    
    Extracted from gitea.tavportal.com/olivier/MLX_CONVERTOR commit 5f9eafa.

+# pyannote-speaker-diarization-3.1-mlx
+
+First MLX port of pyannote-speaker-diarization-3.1 with byte-parity to the PyTorch reference. 2.5x faster than pyannote-MPS on Apple Silicon native.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+uv add "pyannote-speaker-diarization-3.1-mlx @ git+https://gitea.tavportal.com/olivier/pyannote-speaker-diarization-3.1-mlx.git"
+```
+
+## Quickstart
+
+```python
+from pyannote_diarization_3_1_mlx import MlxDiarizationPipeline
+
+pipeline = MlxDiarizationPipeline.from_pretrained("pyannote/speaker-diarization-3.1")
+diarization = pipeline("audio.wav")
+
+for turn, _, speaker in diarization.itertracks(yield_label=True):
+    print(f"{turn.start:.1f}s - {turn.end:.1f}s {speaker}")
+```
+
+## Parity
+
+| Evidence | MLX | Reference | Result |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Cosine distance (200 cross-window pairs) | mean=0.763718 | pyannote-PyTorch mean=0.763718 | identical at 6 decimals |
+| 5h10 bench | 173s / 44 speakers / 1.27 GB | pyannote-MPS 431s / 43 speakers / 1.72 GB | Cross-DER 0.076 |
+
+## Architecture
+
+SincNet → BiLSTM → Powerset(3,2) head + WeSpeaker ResNet34 speaker embedding + AgglomerativeClustering wrapper.
+
+## Module Naming
+
+The repository name is `pyannote-speaker-diarization-3.1-mlx`; the Python import is `pyannote_diarization_3_1_mlx`. The import name follows PEP 8 and embeds the pyannote model version so future 4.0 ports can co-install.
+
+## Citation
+
+This project ports the pyannote speaker diarization 3.1 pipeline architecture to MLX. Please cite the original pyannote.audio work when using this package:
