Nvidia drops Parakeet-TDT-v2: Transcribes an hour of audio in one second
Nvidia just launched Parakeet-TDT-0.6B-v2, an open-source speech recognition model that can transcribe an hour of audio in just one second on GPU hardware. The 600M-parameter model tops the Hugging Face Open ASR leaderboard with a 6.05% word error rate, approaching proprietary rivals. Best of all, it is released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 commercial license.
