NVIDIA has released Audex (Nemotron-Labs-Audex-30B-A3B), a unified audio-text large language model. It understands and generates both audio and speech. It also keeps the text intelligence of its backbone. The checkpoints, along with a smaller Audex-2B, are released under a noncommercial license. Most multimodal models pay a text tax. When labs add audio or vision output,

OpenAI Releases GPT-Realtime-2.1 and GPT-Realtime-2.1-mini for Low-Latency Voice Agents in the API

OpenAI has released two new Realtime models in its API. They are named gpt-realtime-2.1 and gpt-realtime-2.1-mini. Both target low-latency voice and multimodal experiences. The mini model is the notable part of this release. It is a mini reasoning model for realtime voice. It ships at the same cost as the earlier gpt-realtime-mini. OpenAI also reduced

Meituan has released LongCat-2.0, a large-scale Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model. It carries 1.6 trillion total parameters and activates about 48 billion per token. The model targets agentic coding: code understanding, generation, and execution inside agent workflows. Two facts stand out. First, LongCat-2.0 supports a native 1-million-token context window. Second, both training and serving ran entirely

Most enterprise data still sits inside PDFs, scans, and slide decks. Large language models and agents cannot use that data until it becomes structured JSON. Open-source document extraction has become the standard way to do that conversion on your own hardware. Two different problems hide under the phrase ‘PDF to JSON.’ The first is schema-driven

NVIDIA Research introduced HORIZON, a hands-free agent framework for hardware design. It treats hardware design as repository-level code evolution. This research team exercises the register-transfer level (RTL) instantiation. A structured Markdown harness becomes a project pack. A self-contained agent loop then evolves an isolated git worktree. It commits a version only when an executable acceptance

NVIDIA AI Introduces ASPIRE: A Self-Improving Robotics Framework Reaching 31% Zero-Shot on LIBERO-Pro Long Tasks

agentic ai, ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), Artificial Intelligence, Editors Pick, New Releases, physical ai, Robotics, Software engineering, Staff, Uncategorized

Traditional robot programming is hard to scale. It requires orchestrating multimodal perception, physical contact dynamics, diverse configurations, and execution failures by hand. Code-as-policy systems let language models compose these into executable robot programs. That makes robot behavior inspectable, editable, and debuggable. But existing robotic coding agents run in naive execution environments. They receive only coarse,
