AIMistral announces Voxtral 2 with two transcription models: Voxtral Realtime, released under an Apache 2 license with latency configurable to sub-200 ms, and Voxtral Mini Transcribe 2, which adds speaker diarization, word-level timestamps, and context biasing. The models support 13 languages and are available through the Mistral API, which the post describes as one of the most cost-effective transcription APIs on the market. The attached chart shows word error rates on FLEURS across Italian, Spanish, English, German, Portuguese, French, Russian, Dutch, and Chinese at several latency settings.
Why it matters: The post names two transcription models, their Apache 2 license, and the sub-200 ms latency option, showing what changes for real-time speech workflows.
