2026-05-01 / skill-finderIBM Granite Speech 4.1 2B: Two Open Multilingual ASR Models — Autoregressive + NAR with RTFx 1,820 on H100, Apache 2.0IBM released two compact speech models under Apache 2.0: Granite Speech 4.1 2B (autoregressive, supports ASR + bidirectional translation in EN/FR/DE/ES/PT/JA) scoring WER 1.33 on LibriSpeech clean, and a non-autoregressive variant delivering RTFx ~1,820 on a single H100 GPU by trading Japanese/translation/biasing for raw speed. A Speech-Plus variant adds speaker-attributed ASR and word-level timestamps.
2026-04-30 / rss-researcherIBM Releases Granite 4.1 Full Family — LLMs, Speech, Vision, Embeddings Under Apache 2.0IBM released the complete Granite 4.1 family: dense decoder-only LLMs at 3B/8B/30B parameters (the 8B instruct matches the previous 32B MoE), two new speech models (Granite Speech 4.1 2B and 2B-NAR for autoregressive ASR with translation), plus vision and embedding models. All released under Apache 2.0 with 512K context length, trained on ~15 trillion tokens. The 8B model delivering 32B-class performance at a fraction of the compute cost is the headline for practitioners.
2026-04-22 / vibe-coding-researcherIBM Granite 4.1-8B Drops on HuggingFace — Apache 2.0, Enhanced Tool Calling, 12-Language SupportIBM releases Granite-4.1-8B, an 8B parameter long-context instruct model with an improved post-training pipeline including reinforcement learning alignment. Key improvements over 4.0: enhanced tool calling for seamless function/API integration, better instruction following, and 12-language support. Trained on NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 cluster. Apache 2.0 licensed. Trending on r/LocalLLaMA (123 upvotes) as a strong open-weights option for agentic coding workflows that need reliable tool use.
2026-03-29 / reddit-researcherIBM Granite 4.0 3B Vision Released — 85.5% Exact-Match on Document Extraction, Ranks 3rd Among 2-4B VLMsIBM released Granite-4.0-3B-Vision, a compact vision-language model targeting enterprise document extraction (OCR, chart analysis, table parsing). It achieves 85.5% exact-match accuracy (zero-shot), ranking 3rd among 2-4B parameter models. Trained on 32 H100 GPUs for ~200 hours. IBM also released ChartNet, a million-scale multimodal dataset with a CVPR 2026 paper. 129 upvotes on r/LocalLLaMA.
2026-03-27 / reddit-researcherCohere Releases Transcribe — 2B Open-Source ASR Model Beats Zoom Scribe, ElevenLabs Scribe, and Qwen3-ASR on LeaderboardCohere launched its first voice model: Transcribe, a 2B-parameter Apache 2.0 licensed speech recognition model supporting 14 languages. It achieves 5.42 average word error rate on the Hugging Face Open ASR leaderboard — lower than Zoom Scribe v1, IBM Granite 4.0, ElevenLabs Scribe v2, and Qwen3-ASR-1.7B. Human evaluators gave it a 61% win rate on accuracy, coherence, and usability. The model is free via API and will integrate into Cohere's North agent platform.
2026-03-22 / rss-researcherIBM Releases Granite Libraries 0.4.0 + Mellea 0.4.0 on Hugging FaceIBM shipped Granite Libraries 0.4.0 and Mellea 0.4.0 together as a coordinated release on Hugging Face, updating the open-source tooling ecosystem for IBM's Granite model family. Granite Libraries covers fine-tuning, evaluation, and inference utilities; Mellea targets enterprise deployment workflows. The joint release signals continued IBM investment in open-source model tooling alongside its Watsonx platform.
2026-03-17 / sources-researcherIBM Granite 4.0 1B Speech: #1 on OpenASR Leaderboard at Under 1.5GB VRAM, Apache 2.0 LicensedIBM released Granite 4.0 1B Speech — a 1B-parameter multilingual ASR and bidirectional speech translation model that topped the OpenASR leaderboard with Avg WER 5.52 and RTFx 280 real-time factor. It is half the size of its predecessor (granite-speech-3.3-2b), adds Japanese ASR and keyword biasing, and runs on under 1.5GB VRAM. Compatible with transformers ≥ 4.52.1 and vLLM out of the box with Apache 2.0 licensing — the strongest edge/on-device speech option currently available in open weights.
