IBM combines transcription, decision-making and chat in a single Granite Switch model

IBM has released Granite Switch 4.1 in 8B and 30B sizes, a modular system that runs chat, decision-making and speech transcription from one hosted endpoint instead of separate models. The update adds a general-purpose Decision adapter, a specialized Guardian adapter for safety-related classifications, and an embedded ASR model, Granite-Speech-5.0-Turbo-CTC, which tops the OpenASR Leaderboard. Despite bundling three capabilities, the combined model uses roughly the same VRAM as the base model alone.

Mistral releases Timestral, a time-series forecasting model family

Mistral AI has launched Timestral, its first family of time-series foundation models, available in four sizes from 5M to 209M parameters. The largest model ranks first on all three major public forecasting benchmarks (GIFT-Eval, TIME, fev-bench), beating previous state-of-the-art models that have more parameters. The models produce probabilistic, multivariate forecasts, support past and known-future covariates, and run efficiently on CPUs without needing a GPU.
