NVIDIA has officially open-sourced the Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe multimodal voice model and the Granary v2 data pipeline, significantly lowering the barrier to high-quality voice AI development. The model supports transcription, translation, speaker diarization, and audio Q&A across 40 languages, achieving leading results in industry benchmarks while handling recordings up to one hour long with support for up to 8 speakers.

Technically, Nemotron 3.5 utilizes a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture with 30B total parameters but only 4B active, enabling efficient inference on single GPUs or edge devices like the Jetson AGX Thor. The accompanying Granary v2 provides an 844,000-hour audio dataset, fine-tuning recipes, and data processing tools, allowing developers to quickly adapt the model to vertical scenarios such as healthcare and meetings via prompts.

This full-stack open-source strategy offers end-to-end capabilities from raw audio to customized applications, breaking previous limitations of closed-source or costly deployment. It accelerates enterprise-grade voice interaction adoption and lays the groundwork for smarter, privacy-preserving local voice solutions.

LATEST/NVIDIA recently released the open-source Nemotron 3.5 voice model, integrating transcription, translation, and speaker diarization for 40 languages. Alongside it, the Granary v2 data pipeline and fine-tuning recipes were launched, utilizing an MoE architecture for efficient single-GPU operation to lower development barriers for vertical voice AI applications.
