Liquid AI Releases LFM2.5-Encoder-230M and LFM2.5-Encoder-350M: Bidirectional Encoders That Stay Fast at 8K Context on CPU

Agentic AI
Liquid AI released two open-weight bidirectional encoders, LFM2.5-Encoder-230M and LFM2.5-Encoder-350M. Both carry an 8,192-token context and are built on the LFM2 hybrid backbone. The 350M ranks fourth of 14 models on a 17-task GLUE, SuperGLUE, and multilingual suite, behind only larger models. The 230M clears one 8K-token forward pass on CPU in about 28 seconds.

Microsoft AI Releases MAI-Cyber-1-Flash: A 5B-Active-Parameter Cyber Model That Pushes MDASH to 95.95% on CyberGym

Best Open Speech Recognition (ASR) Models in 2026: WER, Languages, Latency, and License Compared

Applications
Open speech recognition stopped being a Whisper monoculture in 2026. Cohere Transcribe, IBM Granite Speech 4.1, ARK-ASR and MOSS-Transcribe are now separated by less than one WER point on the Hugging Face Open ASR Leaderboard — which means rank no longer decides anything. This roundup compares 16 open-weight models on word error rate, language coverage, streaming latency and license, and shows why the published averages cannot be subtracted from one another.
