Which diarization models would you recommend, especially for running on macOS?

(Update: I just updated MacWhisper and it can now run Parakeet which appears to have decent diarization built in, screenshot here: https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2025/macwhisper-para... )

I use parakeet daily (with MacWhisper) to transcribe my meetings. It works really well, even with the speaker segmentation.
