MAI-Transcribe-1 converts speech to text quickly and accurately in 25 languages, even with background noise. Microsoft is already using the model in its own products.

The latest round of the industry's top inference benchmark introduces multimodal and video models for the first time. Nvidia, AMD, and Intel each highlight different metrics, making direct comparisons difficult.

Alibaba has released Qwen3.6-Plus, its third proprietary AI model in just a few days.

A new framework from Nvidia, UC Berkeley, and Stanford systematically tests how well AI models can control robots through code. The findings: without human-designed abstractions, even top models fail, but methods like targeted test-time compute scaling closes the gap.
