Meta Superintelligence Labs Releases Muse Voice Transcribe: One Real-Time Model for Streaming ASR, Diarization, and Endpointing

Most production voice stacks are three systems stitched together. One model transcribes, a second separates speakers, and a detector decides when the user stopped talking. Each hand-off adds latency and a new failure mode. Muse Voice Transcribe, announced by Meta Superintelligence Labs this week, collapses those three jobs into a single autoregressive model. Meta calls
