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. The article Nvidia's open Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe combines transcription, translation,
Part of a story that several outlets report: NVIDIA releases multilingual transcription model
An open speech model has been released that combines transcription, translation, and speaker identification in a single system, supporting up to 40 languages for transcription and 31 languages for translation. The model achieves near-top accuracy on benchmarks while running on a single GPU, making it more efficient than some larger competing systems. A large dataset of speech recordings in multiple languages is being released alongside the model, along with tools that allow developers to adapt the system for specialized fields like medicine, where targeted fine-tuning significantly reduced transcription errors.

Deep Principle has released Hydrogen-1.0, an open-weight scientific model for chemistry, materials science and life sciences. It is built by post-training Z.ai’s GLM-5.3 on domain data, laboratory records and agent discovery trajectories. For developers, it offers open weights that report a FrontierScience-Research win over GPT-6-Astra. The weights ship under the MIT License. TL;DR Size: 753B parameters (MoE, ~40B active per the GLM-5.3 base), 1M-token context, 128K max output.

The weights of Mistral Large 4 (Le Chonk) are now open. A 1T parameter multimodal model, and best open-weight model for coding, trained in Europe.

OpenAI has updated its Model Spec, restructuring its AI behavior guidelines around five core values, including faithfulness to human intent and correctability. GPT models should now draw on conversation history to figure out what users actually want and disclose their own assumptions. Whether the models follow these rules is another matter. The article OpenAI sets new behavioral guidelines for AI models that have already proven hard to control appeared first on The Decoder.

OpenAI’s updated Model Spec outlines five core values to guide more capable AI toward sound judgment, human agency, and faithfulness to human intent.
