NVIDIA released Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe, an open-weight speech-understanding model: a 30B MoE with 4B active parameters that transcribes in 40 languages.

It unifies multilingual ASR (including code-switching), speaker attribution, speech-to-text translation, contextual prompting (inject product names and domain terminology to guide recognition), and audio Q&A into one checkpoint — targeting recorded-audio workflows like post-call analytics, meeting tools, media transcription, and voice-of-customer analysis. Licensed under OpenMDW-1.1. Baseten announced it is a day-0 launch partner for deployment.
