NVIDIA releases Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe with launch-day vLLM serving support
Understand the event
NVIDIA released Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe, an open-weight speech model, with vLLM announcing launch-day serving support through vLLM and NeMo Speech. NVIDIA described it as a promptable 30B mixture-of-experts model with approximately 4B active parameters that combines transcription in 40 languages, speaker attribution, translation, contextual prompting and audio understanding in one checkpoint. The Decoder reported that the model follows text instructions to process recordings up to an hour long with up to eight speakers, but does not support real-time processing. vLLM said its serving support includes promptable transcripts, speaker labels and audio question answering, with model weights available in BF16, FP8 and NVFP4 formats. According to The Decoder, NVIDIA also released Granary v2, a dataset containing about 844,000 hours of speech in 48 languages, along with dataset-building tools and fine-tuning guides.

Nvidia released Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe, a free, open-weight model that transcribes recorded audio in up to 40 languages, alongside version 2 of its open source Granary speech dataset. Nvidia says the model translates 31 languages to and from English, handles recordings up to an hour long, and distinguishes up to eight speakers. The 30 billion parameter model works with recorded audio rather than livestreams, and Nvidia says it can run on a single chip.
