Linkup Research released SPARSEUP, an Apache 2.0 open-source learned sparse embedding model built on a 149M-parameter ModernBERT backbone. Linkup reports 56.4 average nDCG@10 on BEIR-13. The release adds a vocabulary-based sparse encoder with deployable weights on Hugging Face and achieves over 97% recall on MS MARCO in about 380 microseconds per query using Seismic search.

SpaceXAI released Grok Voice Transcribe 2.0, a hosted speech-to-text API in batch and real-time streaming modes.

Self-hosting is not available because open weights were not announced, and users must specify model=grok-voice-transcribe-2.0 to use the update.
