Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe

NVIDIA released Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe, an open-weight promptable model that transcribes 40 languages and handles recordings up to an hour long, alongside the Granary v2 dataset.

One checkpoint covers transcription, speaker attribution, translation and audio question answering. It translates 31 languages to or from English, labels up to eight speakers and attributes speakers in 13 languages. Developers can steer output with natural language prompts and adapt it to domain vocabulary and accents. It works on recorded audio, not live streams.
