A new open AI model announced this week and what it is built for.

Nvidia releases Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe, a free open-weight speech model

Released 28 Oct 2026 (US time)

Nvidia released Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe, a free, open-weight model that transcribes speech in 40 languages, translates 31 of them to or from English, handles recordings up to an hour long and can tell up to eight speakers apart. It also released version 2 of Granary, its open speech dataset, for developers who want to adapt the model.

Why it matters: Open speech models make meeting notes, subtitles and multilingual transcripts cheaper to build into everyday tools.
