docs: add multi-machine bench (M3 Ultra 45.8ms / M4 86.7ms / CoreML 303ms / ONNX 1200ms)
Adds the Newton-sentence benchmark numbers measured on two real Macs + the upstream CoreML and ONNX baselines. Highlights: - Mac Studio M3 Ultra: 45.8 ms wall median (best 39 ms), RTF x88 - MacBook Air M4: 86.7 ms wall median, RTF x47 - M4 + CoreML: 303.5 ms wall median, RTF x27 - M4 + ONNX SDK: ~1200 ms wall median, RTF ~x3 Same FR utterance, same warmup protocol, 5 warm runs each. The ms-per-second-of-audio column is the honest backend comparison since the two paths produce slightly different audio durations (DurationPredictor + CoreML's speed=1.05 give different timing). MLX wins 1.78× over the CoreML build on identical M4 hardware, and ~35-40× over the upstream ONNX SDK. GPU memory footprint on the Ultra: 750 MB active, 844 MB peak.

|

| Hardware | Wall | RTF | ms / s audio | Notes |
|
||||
|--------------------------------------------------|--------:|---------:|-------------:|----------------------------------|
|
||||
| Mac Studio **M3 Ultra** (80 GPU cores, 96 GB) | 45.8 ms | **x88** | 11.3 | best on this test |
|
||||
| MacBook Air **M4** (10 GPU cores, 16 GB) | 86.7 ms | x47 | 21.1 | reference consumer device |
|
||||
| MacBook Air M4 — CoreML (mlpackage, CPU + NE) | 303.5 ms| x27 | 37.7 | upstream CoreML build |
|
||||
| MacBook Air M4 — ONNX SDK (`pip install supertonic`) | ~1200 ms| ~x3 | ~350 | upstream reference Python SDK |
|
||||
|
||||
The MLX path is ~ **1.78× faster than the CoreML build** on the same M4 hardware
|
||||
(MLX 21 ms / s of audio vs CoreML 38 ms / s of audio), and ~ **35–40×** the
|
||||
ONNX SDK reference. Memory footprint on M3 Ultra is 750 MB active /
|
||||
844 MB peak GPU memory; the M4 footprint is similar since the model size is
|
||||
fixed. The wall on small-utterance inputs is dispatch-bound (24 attention +
|
||||
ConvNeXt blocks × 5 Euler steps + the 10-block vocoder all run in ~ 45 ms
|
||||
on the Ultra); the M3 Ultra's 8× extra GPU cores buy ~ 2× wall because
|
||||
the workload doesn't fill them.
|
||||
|
||||
Cold load: 15 ms from the local safetensors snapshot, ~ 17 s on first
|
||||
`from_pretrained` from the Hub (downloads 379 MB of weights via
|
||||
`hf_transfer`).
|
||||
|
||||
Reference comparison: the CoreML build of the same model on the same hardware
|
||||
runs at ~x27 realtime. The MLX port is **~2-4× faster** end-to-end while
|
||||
remaining bit-identical to the ONNX Runtime reference on the vocoder
