Gradium today released two real-time speech translation models: stt-translate and s2s-translate. Both run across five languages and stream results live in the browser. Gradium claims a better accuracy-latency tradeoff than gpt-realtime-translate and gemini-3.5-live-translate. It also adds output voice control, including cloning, that gpt-realtime-translate lacks. TL;DR Gradium launched two real-time speech translation models: stt-translate (speech → […]

In this tutorial, we build OpenHarness from scratch to better understand how a practical agent harness works. We recreate the major building blocks that make an agent system useful, including tool use, typed tool schemas, permissions, lifecycle hooks, memory, skills, context compaction, retry logic, cost tracking, and multi-agent coordination. Instead of treating an agent framework

Today, Mistral AI released OCR 4, its latest document-understanding model. This new release adds bounding boxes, block classification, and inline confidence scores alongside extracted text. It supports 170 languages across 10 language groups and runs in a single container for fully self-hosted deployments. OCR 4 also serves as an ingestion component for enterprise search, RAG,

Datalab has released lift, a 9B open-weights vision model for structured extraction. You pass it a JSON schema, and it returns a JSON object that matches. The model reads PDFs and images directly, then decodes against your schema. This is Datalab’s first model built purely for extraction. The team already ships open-source OCR tools: chandra,

In this tutorial, we build a speech recognition and translation workflow using NVIDIA Canary-1B-v2. We begin by setting up the required audio, NeMo, NumPy, and SciPy dependencies, then load the Canary model on a GPU-enabled runtime for efficient inference. From there, we prepare audio into a clean 16 kHz mono format, perform English ASR, translate

xAI shipped a new mode called /goal inside Grok Build, its terminal coding agent. The feature targets long-running, autonomous task execution. You hand the agent a larger implementation task, then step back. Most coding sessions require back-and-forth execution and verification. You prompt, the agent acts, and you verify each step. /goal changes that loop. The
