#42Holy moly, a Microsoft AI product that isn't named Copilot!

#43Interesting to see "vibe" enshrined by the likes of Microsoft as an AI product word.

#44I think we should stop calling this type of models open source. They are indeed "open weight." The training code is proprietary and never revealed. https://github.com/microsoft/VibeVoice/issues/102
Openwashing is the new greenwashing, which, coincidently, seems to have gone out of fashion a few hundred datacentres ago.

#46My conclusions back then (which only came from a shallow research on the topic and 0 real experience mind you) was that Whisper + Pyannote was the "stable" approach.
Have the VibeVoice, Voxtral, Qwen or the Nemo solutions caught up in segmentation and speaker recognition?

#47I the past month or so, I added 2 models to my app Whisper Memos ( https://whispermemos.com ): - Cohere Transcribe (self hosted) - Grok Speech To Text (they provide an API, only $0.10/hr!) They are both excellent. I'm not sure about this one. Would you like to see it in a consumer speech to text app?

Any non-Musk alternatives that are comparable in quality and cost?
