IBM released Granite Speech 5.0 2B, an Apache 2.0 speech recognition and translation model. It ranks #2 on the Open ASR Leaderboard with 5.68% average English WER, alongside updated Turbo CTC and 4.1 2B Plus models.
Perplexity and NVIDIA introduced JOLT, a post-training method that trains one model as both teacher and student. On MATH it matched GRPO’s accuracy with 6.5x fewer processed training tokens.
Recursive has released Flint, an Apache 2.0 local coding model with 40B total and 2.5B active parameters. It reports 74.2% on SWE-bench Verified and 125+ tokens per second on an M4 Pro MacBook Pro.
Mistral AI released Voxtral 3, a family of 3 transcription models, 1 text-to-speech model and a LiveKit-based voice agent SDK. Voxtral Small Transcribe 3 scores 2.1% AA-WER, ranking #3 on Artificial Analysis.
Google, Red Hat and IBM released llm-d 1.0, an open-source Kubernetes-native stack for distributed LLM inference. It adds multi-tenant flow control, zero-downtime upgrades and agent-aware routing across vLLM, SGLang, TPUs and GPUs.
Google and Meta open-sourced TorchTPU, a native PyTorch backend for Cloud TPUs. It runs eager by default, compiles through torch.compile and XLA, and replaces PyTorch/XLA for new workloads.
DeepSeek has open-sourced DeepInfer, the Apache 2.0 inference framework that serves DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash in production. It targets NVIDIA SM100 GPUs and Huawei Ascend 950 NPUs, and ships offline inference only.
Cloudflare has previewed Clairic, a System One extraction model on Workers AI that returns typed values with confidence scores in one forward pass. It costs $0.10 per million input tokens and charges nothing for output.
MiniMax has released M3.1 Flash, a 428B-parameter MoE model with about 23B active parameters and a 1M-token context. API pricing is $0.15/$0.60 per 1M tokens, with weights due October 23
NVIDIA has released the full Run:ai GPU orchestration platform as open source under Apache 2.0. The release includes KAI Scheduler, CUDA 13.4 GPU fractioning, quota management, and a local Kind dev environment.
Mistral released Timestral, a time series foundation model family from 5M to 209M parameters. The 209M model leads GIFT-Eval, TIME and fev-bench among zero-shot models and runs on CPU.
