Unrelated, but can we please get web browsers to enable users to totally turn off all auto play video and video encoding? I hate websites like this where you deal with a minefield of video areas that might start playing audio at the smallest tap and drain your bandwidth for content you have zero desire to watch.

I agree, Meta's work in AI has been really impressive, and it's encouraging how they are open-sourcing so much. It's funny, back in the 90s I disliked Microsoft and thought they were inherently culturally opposed to open source. But big corporations really just follow their business incentives when it comes to open source. It's not like Meta "loves to be open". But they would hate a world where all the powerful AI de…
I’m glad Microsoft is open sourcing a lot of things. I have never, ever seen a convincing business case for their doing so, however. Not your opinion. A compelling business case.
I relly hope Meta (FB research) releases this wonderful noise reduction library: https://github.com/facebookresearch/denoiser I tested MANY while building various audio tech and this was by far the best (beats the shit out of all the python Pandas Hugging Face lists etc). Incredibly ability to cut noise (tho, it must be noted that perceptual improvements for humans do not usually increase machine transcription as AI…

Somewhat tangential question, have you looked for/found any audio models/tools that can be used for separating out individual voices to separate audio tracks automatically? Perhaps this is already possible with existing tools that I am uninitiated in.
That's called "speaker diarization" and there's quite a bit of work in the field. https://github.com/topics/speaker-diarization I have no idea what's good or the best, but there's a starting point!
Are there any open source alternatives for this? Or still too early?

Have you tested https://hushaudioapp.com ? Its quality is amazing.
Perhaps it's not as sophisticated as Meta, but doesn't iOS16 do this? I recall my partner discovering it by accident whilst messing about with some photos. The people in the foreground were lifted off the background.
