[Research] Add 2 elite-tier projects to Open Foundation Models (#130)

Add MMaDA (1,620 stars): Open-sourced multimodal large diffusion language model

with unified architecture for text, image generation and multimodal reasoning.

MIT licensed, NeurIPS 2025. Published May 2025, actively maintained.

Add faster-whisper (21,985 stars): Reimplementation of Whisper using CTranslate2

for up to 4x faster inference with same accuracy. Supports batched processing

and 8-bit quantization. Essential production tool for speech recognition.
