NVIDIA is releasing an open speech model that can transcribe a meeting, label who said what, translate it and answer questions about the recording: Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe supports: - Transcription in 40 languages - Translation between English and 31 languages - Up to eight speakers, with speaker labels in 13 languages - Recordings up to an hour long You can give it names and technical terms to guide the transcript, or ask questions about the audio. Audio Q&A is trained in English. It has roughly 30B parameters, with about 4B active per token, and can run on your own NVIDIA GPU. According to NVIDIA's launch materials, it ranks first among open-weight models on Hugging Face's English Open ASR leaderboard and leads VoiceArena's 14-system test of transcription with speaker attribution. Built for recorded audio. Live streaming uses a separate model. Super cool to see! Model: Demo: Blog:
