# RapidSpeech.cpp (https://github.com/RapidAI/RapidSpeech.cpp)️
**RapidSpeech.cpp** is a high-performance, **edge-native speech intelligence framework** built on top of **ggml**.
It aims to provide **pure C++**, **zero-dependency**, and **on-device inference** for large-scale ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) and TTS (Text-to-Speech) models.
------
## 🌟 Key Differentiators
While the open-source ecosystem already offers powerful cloud-side frameworks such as **vLLM-omni**, as well as mature on-device solutions like **sherpa-onnx**, **RapidSpeech.cpp** introduces a new generation of design choices focused on edge deployment.
### 1. vs. vLLM: Edge-first, not cloud-throughput-first
- **vLLM**
- Designed for data centers and cloud environments
- Strongly coupled with Python and CUDA
- Maximizes GPU throughput via techniques such as PageAttention
- **RapidSpeech.cpp**
- Designed specifically for **edge and on-device inference**
- Optimized for **low latency, low memory footprint, and lightweight deployment**
- Runs on embedded devices, mobile platforms, laptops, and even NPU-only systems
- **No Python runtime required** |
