Xiaomi released and open-sourced Xiaomi-CocktailASR-1, an end-to-end target-speaker ASR model that locks onto one reference voiceprint and transcribes only that speaker in crowded, overlapping audio.
- Multi-speaker SOTA: WER 4.11% on LibriMix 2mix, crushing Qwen3-ASR (68.75%) and Gemini (48.41%)
- Single-speaker parity: same model handles both scenarios, no ASR switch needed
- Negative-sample rejection: near-zero false triggers on non-target speech
- Chain-of-Thought reasoning for explainable transcription
- Supports English and Chinese. Repo: xiaomi-research/xiaomi-cocktailasr-1
