VibeVoice-ASR
by microsoft
Speech recognition with diarization in one model, at 8.7B parameters
microsoft/VibeVoice-ASROverview
Most transcription stacks run two models: one to turn audio into words, another to work out who was speaking. VibeVoice-ASR declares both, which removes an alignment step that is a common source of quiet errors when the two models disagree about segment boundaries.
At 8.7B parameters this is a large model and belongs on interviews, meetings and panel content where knowing the speaker changes what the transcript is worth. For bulk single-speaker material a smaller model will cost far less per hour and lose nothing you need.

// No extractor parameter takes a Hugging Face model id (checked against
// GET /v1/discovery/extractors, which returns 13), so VibeVoice-ASR runs
// on your side and the output is upserted through POST
// /v1/namespaces/{namespace_id}/documents/upsert. On Enterprise the other
// path is to upload the weights instead: POST /v1/namespaces/{id}/models
// accepts the huggingface format and a custom plugin loads them.

- Transcription and speaker diarization from one model
- Speaker-attributed transcripts without a separate alignment step
- English declared on the card
- MIT licence, so self-hosting carries no usage restriction
