[1/4] How well do speech recognition systems handle real conversations in 21 languages?

Today we're releasing DAI-ASR-I18N, a benchmark that evaluates 14 systems on speech recognition and speaker diarization in natural, unscripted conversation

[Mustafa Suleyman @mustafasuleyman]

We now have state-of-the-art pre-trained base models in the 3T-parameter weight class, built entirely in-house at MAI.

Post-training results coming soon -- stay tuned!

Lots of details in our technical blog post.
