[Inference] NVIDIA AI Released Jet-Nemotron: 53x Faster Hybrid-Architecture Language Model Series that Translates to a 98% Cost Reduction for Inference at Scale. NVIDIA researchers have shattered the longstanding efficiency hurdle in large language model (LLM) inference, releasing Jet-Nemotron—a family of models (2B and 4B) that delivers up to 53.6× higher generation throughput than leading full-attention LLMs while matching, or even surpassing, their accuracy. Most importantly, this breakthrough isn’t the result of a new pre-training run from scratch, but rather a retrofit of existing, pre-trained models using a novel technique called Post Neural Architecture Search (PostNAS). The implications are transformative for businesses, practitioners, and researchers alike.

[Voice AI] Meet Chatterbox Multilingual: An Open-Source Zero-Shot Text To Speech (TTS) Multilingual Model with Emotion Control and Watermarking. Chatterbox Multilingual, is released by Resemble AI under the MIT license, is an open-source system for zero-shot voice cloning in 23 languages. It supports emotion and intensity control, includes default PerTh watermarking for traceability, and has shown competitive performance in listener preference tests against proprietary systems. A managed “Pro” version is also available for low-latency, enterprise-grade deployments.

[Voice AI] Tencent Hunyuan Open-Sources Hunyuan-MT-7B and Hunyuan-MT-Chimera-7B: A State-of-the-Art Multilingual Translation Models. Both models are designed specifically for multilingual machine translation and were introduced in conjunction with Tencent’s participation in the WMT2025 General Machine Translation shared task, where Hunyuan-MT-7B ranked first in 30 out of 31 language pairs.

[Evaluation Tool] Google AI Introduces Stax: an experimental developer tool that provides a structured way to assess and compare LLMs with custom and pre-built autoraters. Stax is built for developers who want to understand how a model or a specific prompt performs for their use cases rather than relying solely on broad benchmarks or leaderboards. By combining quick comparisons, dataset-level evaluations, customizable evaluators, and clear analytics, it gives developers tools to move from ad-hoc testing toward structured evaluation.

[Biomedical LLM Agents] Researchers from Stanford University and UC Berkeley introduced a new family of models called Biomni-R0, built by applying reinforcement learning (RL) to a biomedical agent foundation. These models, Biomni-R0-8B and Biomni-R0-32B, were trained in an RL environment specifically tailored for biomedical reasoning, using both expert-annotated tasks and a novel reward structure. The collaboration combines Stanford’s Biomni agent and environment platform with UC Berkeley’s SkyRL reinforcement learning infrastructure, aiming to push biomedical agents past human-level capabilities

[Voice AI] StepFun AI Releases Step-Audio 2 Mini: An Open-Source 8B Speech-to-Speech AI Model that Surpasses GPT-4o-Audio. By combining Qwen2-Audio’s reasoning capacity with CosyVoice’s tokenization pipeline, and augmenting with retrieval-based grounding, StepFun has delivered one of the most capable open audio LLMs.

[RAG] Google DeepMind Finds a Fundamental Bug in RAG: Embedding Limits Break Retrieval at Scale. Their analysis shows that fixed embedding dimensions impose hard limits, preventing models from capturing all relevant documents in large databases. The newly proposed LIMIT benchmark confirms this, with state-of-the-art embedders like GritLM, Qwen3, and Gemini achieving only 29–54% recall@2 on small datasets and collapsing below 20% recall@100 on larger ones. In contrast, classical sparse methods such as BM25 avoid these constraints, highlighting the need for more advanced architectures like cross-encoders and multi-vector retrievers to build scalable, reliable RAG systems.

[Embedding Model] Google AI Releases EmbeddingGemma: A 308M Parameter On-Device Embedding Model with State-of-the-Art MTEB Results. Trained across 100+ languages, it ranks #1 on the MTEB benchmark among sub-500M models, rivaling much larger systems. The model outputs 768-dimensional embeddings with support for 2,048 tokens and allows dimensionality reduction (512/256/128) via Matryoshka Representation Learning (MRL) with minimal accuracy loss. With sub-15ms inference on EdgeTPU and seamless integration into Hugging Face, LangChain, LlamaIndex, and Weaviate, EmbeddingGemma enables efficient, privacy-preserving RAG pipelines and real-time edge deployments.
