    Indeed, they’re probably shipping a backtrace symboliser, and since there’s no system-wide equivalent of libc to link against, they’ll be including the entire Rust standard library with the binary too.

    My other hunch is the Krisp noise cancellation ML model is a huge chunk of the memory footprint.
