Automated documentation update for pipecat PR #4684.

Changes

Updated: api-reference/server/services/stt/whisper.mdx

  • Installation section: Added platform requirement note for MLX Whisper (macOS Apple Silicon only)
  • Notes section:
    • Added MLX platform requirement clarification (macOS arm64 only, not Intel Macs)
    • Documented that Model and MLXModel are now StrEnum types, allowing direct string comparison
    • Noted that both enum members and plain strings work for model selection

Context

PR #4684 changed Model and MLXModel from Enum to StrEnum, making enum members directly comparable to strings (e.g., Model.TINY == "tiny"). The API remains backward compatible.

The PR also added platform-specific import handling for MLX Whisper to prevent import errors on non-macOS platforms, as MLX is only available on macOS with Apple Silicon.

Gaps identified

None

- Add platform requirement note for MLX (macOS Apple Silicon only)
- Document Model/MLXModel StrEnum behavior
- Clarify MLX installation requirements
