Meet S1-mini: Superwhisper’s 462 MB Open-Weights Text Normalizer That Turns Raw ASR Transcripts Into Clean Written Text
Superwhisper has released the S1 family of models: S1-Voice, S1-Language, and S1-mini. S1-Voice is a cloud speech-to-text model, and S1-Language is a cloud instruction-following model for cleanup and formatting. The one that is quite interesting outside the app is S1-mini, released with open weights on Hugging Face. S1-mini is a 0.6B text normalizer, not a transcriber and not a chat model. It sits after automatic speech recognition and rewrites raw transcripts as clean written text: fillers rem
S1-mini is a small text-cleaning model that improves the output of automatic speech recognition systems by removing filler words, fixing self-corrections, adding proper punctuation and capitalization, and converting spoken forms like "support at example dot com" into written email addresses. The model is released with open weights and is small enough to run on a laptop CPU, making it deployable in various settings from individual apps to enterprise networks where audio transcripts cannot leave internal systems. It works by taking a raw transcript and applying one of several preset combinations across three control axes: styling tone, structure format, and context type. The model achieved 94.8 percent token accuracy on its internal test set and was designed specifically to clean transcripts without adding content, correcting facts, or changing dialects.

Runway’s Praxis-1 world action model for robotics is now available
Praxis-1 builds on Runway’s work as a founding member of the Cosmos Coalition, advancing open world models for physical AI. | Source: Runway Runway AI Inc. yesterday released Praxis-1, its world action model for robotics. The model is now available to developers with open weights under the Apache 2.0 license. Runway first announced Praxis-1 in September with launch partners including Noble Machines, Standard Bots, and Ultra. Since then, these companies have been running the model on their own ha
Google releases Gemini 4 Carbon with agent ‘swarm’ feature
Google is rolling out its latest AI model, Gemini 4 Carbon, to the general public after releasing it to a select group of "cybersecurity defenders" two weeks ago. Google claims Carbon is its "strongest model" yet, and capable of competing with the very best systems from Anthropic and OpenAI. Google says Gemini 4 Carbon "pushes the frontier even further" than Argon, referring to the company's other frontier model that launched only last month. The company said Argon will likely
Gemini 4 Carbon is now available
The latest version aims to deliver improved performance while reducing the computational resources and energy required for AI operations.
Google Launches Gemini Decisions API With Gemini Decision 1 at $0.10/M Tokens
Google has launched the Gemini Decisions API, powered by a new model, Gemini Decision 1 (gemini-decision-1). The Gemini Decisions API does not generate text. It scores up to 1,000 typed questions against one shared input and returns calibrated probabilities. For developers, this targets the small branching calls inside agents: routing, policy checks, tool selection and grading. Google prices it at $0.10 per 1M input tokens, with zero output tokens billed. TL;DR Size: Context is 262,144 t
