Cohere releases open-source "Transcribe Arabic" ASR model claiming best open-weight Arabic accuracy

Cohere published Transcribe Arabic, an open-source Arabic automatic speech recognition (ASR) model (Apache 2.0) based on its 2B ASR work. Cohere says the model achieves a 25.87 WER on the Hugging Face Arabic ASR leaderboard, outperforming Meta’s OmniASR-LLM-7B and OpenAI’s Whisper Large V3, and was preferred to Whisper in about 96% of human evaluation tests; weights are available on Hugging Face and via the Cohere API/Model Vault.

Cohere releases North Mini Code — open-source 30B (3B active) agentic coding MoE model

Cohere has open-sourced North Mini Code, a mixture-of-experts agentic coding model sized at 30 billion parameters with 3 billion active, released under an Apache 2.0 license. The model — available on Hugging Face, OpenRouter, and Cohere's Model Vault in bf16, fp8 and w4a16 formats and compatible with OpenCode — is optimized for agentic developer workflows and reports a 33.4 score on the Artificial Analysis Coding Index, higher throughput (up to 2.8x) and ~30% better inter-token latency versus Devstral Small 2 in Cohere's tests.

Shieldstral releases 3B open-weights policy-adaptive multimodal safety classifier under Apache 2.0

Shieldstral published a 3B-parameter open-weights multimodal safety classifier (Apache 2.0) that accepts plain-language policies at inference and returns a calibrated yes/no safety score; the project claims it matches or outperforms open guard models up to 7× its size on text safety and sets a new state of the art on multimodal moderation while running on a single 16GB NVIDIA GPU. The release, accompanied by a technical report, is announced as part of the Open Secure AI Alliance (including NVIDIA).

Mistral releases Small 4: 119B MoE multimodal model with 256k context (Apache 2.0)

Mistral announced Mistral Small 4, a 119B-parameter hybrid Mixture-of-Experts model (128 experts, 4 active) that accepts text and image inputs, offers a 256k context window, and includes a configurable reasoning_effort parameter; it is released under the Apache 2.0 license. The company says Small 4 unifies capabilities from its Magistral, Pixtral, and Devstral lines, targets chat, coding/agentic, and complex-reasoning use cases, claims substantial latency and throughput gains versus Mistral Small 3, and is available across vLLM, llama.cpp, SGLang, Transformers and other runtimes.

Leanstral: open-source Lean 4 proof-engineering agent (Leanstral-120B-A6B) released under Apache 2.0

Leanstral, an open-source code agent trained for Lean 4 proof engineering and shipped as Leanstral-120B-A6B, is released with Apache 2.0 weights, an agent mode for Mistral vibe, a free API endpoint, a forthcoming tech report, and a new evaluation suite called FLTEval. The model uses a highly sparse architecture (6B active parameters), supports MCPs via vibe (optimized for lean-lsp-mcp), and is benchmarked on realistic repository tasks where it shows cost and efficiency advantages versus several closed- and open-source competitors.

Voxtral launches Transcribe 2: Mini Transcribe V2 and Realtime (Realtime open-weights, Apache 2.0)

Voxtral released Voxtral Transcribe 2, a family of next-generation speech-to-text models that includes Voxtral Mini Transcribe V2 for batch transcription and Voxtral Realtime for live, low-latency use. Voxtral says Realtime’s weights are open under the Apache 2.0 license on the Hugging Face Hub; the models support 13 languages and provide diarization, word-level timestamps, configurable sub-200ms latency, and claimed competitive word-error rates and pricing.
