AIXiaomi introduces MiMo-V2-Omni, a single model that fuses image, video, and audio encoders into a shared backbone with native tool calling and UI grounding. The company reports benchmark results against Gemini 3 Pro, Claude Opus 4.6, and GPT 5.2, and demonstrates browser-based shopping and video-publishing workflows run through the OpenClaw agent scaffold. It also states the model supports over 10 hours of continuous audio understanding.

Why it matters: The page gives benchmark comparisons, a driving-risk demo, and browser-task walkthroughs, letting readers check how far the omni-modal claims extend into agent use.

AIFun-CineForge, from FunAudioLLM, is an open-source toolkit with an end-to-end dataset pipeline and an MLLM-based model for zero-shot movie dubbing across diverse cinematic scenes. The team built CineDub-CN, described as the first large-scale Chinese television dubbing dataset, and reports that its model outperforms state-of-the-art methods on audio quality, lip-sync, timbre transition, and instruction following. Inference code and checkpoints were released on March 16, 2026, and the model runs on a consumer-grade GPU.

AIMistral AI released Voxtral Mini 4B Realtime 2602, a multilingual realtime speech-transcription model with 13 supported languages under the Apache 2.0 license. The model has a configurable transcription delay from 240ms to 2.4s, and it matches leading offline open-source models at a 480ms delay. The source says it is optimized for on-device deployment and is currently supported only in vLLM.

Why it matters: The source specifies the 480ms delay operating point, 4B size, Apache 2.0 license, and vLLM serving path, which matter for teams weighing realtime transcription deployment.

AIFunAudioLLM has released Fun-Audio-Chat-8B, a roughly 8B-parameter large audio language model for natural, low-latency voice interaction, under Apache 2.0. It uses Dual-Resolution Speech Representations with a 5Hz frame rate, which the source says reduces GPU hours by nearly 50%, and it supports English and Chinese.

AIAlibaba's FunAudioLLM released Fun-ASR-MLT-Nano-2512, an 800M-parameter multilingual speech recognition checkpoint on Hugging Face that supports 31 languages, with emphasis on East and Southeast Asian languages. It is trained on hundreds of thousands of hours of speech and is available through the FunASR toolkit. The source's benchmark tables cover the Fun-ASR family rather than this checkpoint, so no checkpoint-specific accuracy figures are reported.

AITongyi Lab has released Fun-ASR-Nano-2512, an end-to-end speech recognition large model trained on tens of millions of hours of real speech, supporting low-latency real-time transcription across 31 languages. The model, which has 800M parameters, targets industry use such as education and finance and claims 93% accuracy in far-field, high-noise conditions. It is available on Hugging Face and works with the FunASR toolkit.

AIAlibaba's FunAudioLLM has released Fun-CosyVoice3-0.5B-2512, a 0.5B-parameter LLM-based text-to-speech model on Hugging Face, with an RL variant also published. The model supports zero-shot voice cloning across 9 languages and 18+ Chinese dialects and accents, with streaming output at latency as low as 150ms. On the source's test-en benchmark, it reports a 2.24% WER and 71.8% speaker similarity, and the RL version reports 1.68% WER.
