Game scripting language daslang achieves 5x faster speech-to-text than llama.cpp

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] · 2026-10-31 19:52

A game scripting language called daslang, originally developed at Gaijin Entertainment, has been enhanced with an inference engine named dasllama. This new engine reportedly achieves speech-to-text transcription speeds five times faster than llama.cpp on CPUs. The performance gains are attributed to daslang's macro system and LLVM-based JIT compilation, which allow for compile-time code generation and optimization, including automatic tuning of loop annotations and function permutations for specific hardware. AI

IMPACT Offers a potential pathway for faster on-device AI inference, particularly for speech processing, by optimizing existing hardware.

RANK_REASON The article describes a performance improvement for a specific language and its inference engine, rather than a novel model release or core AI research.
