Nvidia's open Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe combines transcription, translation, and speaker recognition
Nvidia has released Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe, an open speech recognition model that handles transcription, speaker recognition, and translation and takes its instructions as text prompts. It leads several benchmarks and uses only a sixth of the active parameters of its strongest open rival. Nvidia is also shipping a dataset with more than 800,000 hours of speech, along with tools for fine-tuning.

Anthropic stäms för att ha tränat AI-modeller på Elvis-låtar
I fredags valde rättighetsägare till Elvis Presleys musik att lämna in en stämning mot Anthropic rörande brott mot upphovsrätten. Enligt stämningsansökan har Anthropic tränat upp sina AI-modeller på 274 av legendarens sånger utan tillstånd, däribland Can’t Help Falling in Love, Don’t Be Cruel och Return to Sender. – Svaranden har byggt hela sin affärsmodell på upphovsrättsintrång i en omfattning som aldrig tidigare skådats, säger advokaten Richard Busch i ett uttalande. Tidigare har det framför allt varit Suno och liknande tjänster som genererar AI-musik som varit i fokus för den här sortens stämningar, rapporterar Billboard .

AI Global WireGroup Relative Policy Optimisation Improves Multilingual Speech Recognition in Low-Resource Languages
arXiv:2610.30663v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive encoder-decoder speech recognition models trained with teacher forcing can suffer from exposure bias, limiting their ability to recover from their own prediction errors at inference time. Recent work has shown that reinforcement learning with Group Relative Policy Optimisation (GRPO) improves speech recognition in major languages with LLM-based models. We extend this line of work to smaller, non-LLM encoder-decoder ASR models, using Whisper-large-v3 as a case study across 51 African languages. The benefits of this approach are most pronounced when training data is scarce or when input audio is noisy or degraded. Our resulting mod

AI Global WireStream low-latency speech from AI agents using Kokoro TTS on Amazon SageMaker AI
Voice agents often wait for an agent's full response before starting speech synthesis, adding latency users feel directly. This post shows how to stream each sentence to a Kokoro-82M text-to-speech model on Amazon SageMaker AI as the agent produces it, and how to get that audio back to a browser over Server-Sent Events or a unified binary transport.

AI Global WireStop guessing auto scaling targets for TTS on Amazon SageMaker AI
Teams deploying custom text-to-speech models on Amazon SageMaker AI often guess at autoscaling thresholds, and a wrong guess either wastes GPU spend or breaches a latency SLO. This post deploys Kokoro-82M as a custom container and derives a measured autoscaling policy from two live-endpoint measurements, Q_max and T_total, instead of guesswork.
