Meet S1-mini: Superwhisper’s 462 MB Open-Weights Text Normalizer That Turns Raw ASR Transcripts Into Clean Written Text

MarkTechPost 2 months ago 51

Superwhisper released the S1 family of models, including S1-mini: a 0.6B open-weights text normalizer for rewriting raw ASR transcripts into cleaned written text. On its held-out set of 7,519 cases, S1-mini reached 94.8% token accuracy (greedy on the Q4_K_M quantized build). As a result, developers can run only S1-mini locally on a 462 MB laptop-CPU GGUF file while the S1-Voice and S1-Language components remain cloud-only services.

Liquid AI Releases LFM2.5-DSpark Draft Models That Deliver Up to 3.18x Faster Decoding Without Changing Model Outputs

MarkTechPost 2 months ago 37 ● 2 sources

Liquid AI released DSpark draft model checkpoints for three LFM2.5 targets by adding a ~300M-parameter speculative-decoding drafter that proposes a 9-token block for the target to verify. It reports up to 3.18x faster decoding on an H100 while keeping greedy-decoded outputs identical and benchmark accuracy unchanged. The checkpoints require self-hosting with DSpark-enabled llama.cpp or SGLang, and speedups vary by acceptance rate (notably lower on MoE workloads).
