Human Brain Cells Construct AI System, Achieving 78% Accuracy in Speech Recognition


Qwen launches the Qwen-Audio-3.1 series of large speech models, with comprehensive upgrades in speech recognition, synthesis, and real-time interaction, and introduces the audio creation model TTS-Next and the understanding model ASR-Next. Five models cover the complete capability stack of 'understanding - generation - interaction - creation'. At the same time, all models are discounted, with TTS dropping by about 70% to lower the usage threshold.
Alibaba has fully launched the Qwen-Audio-3.0 series of speech models on the Tongyi AI platform, including three types: speech recognition, speech synthesis, and real-time voice interaction. Officially, the series performed exceptionally well in the July 2024 speech ranking list by the authoritative evaluation platform Artificial Analysis, securing first place in all three categories: speech recognition, real-time interaction, and speech synthesis.
Qwen introduces the real-time speech recognition model Fun-ASR-Realtime, reducing the first-word latency to the millisecond level and achieving a smooth "speak and feedback immediately" interaction. Its recognition accuracy is close to that of offline models, achieving high precision while breaking through the real-time performance bottleneck, marking a new height in voice interaction experience.
iFlytek launched its AI hardware and software integrated solution at the 2025 1024 Developer Festival. By deeply integrating algorithms and hardware, it solves recognition challenges in complex environments such as high noise and far-field conditions, improving the accuracy of voice and visual intelligence, marking a significant breakthrough in this field.
OpenAI secretly launched the "Mercury" project, recruiting over 100 former bankers and financial experts to train an AI system. The project aims to automate repetitive tasks of junior investment bankers, such as generating complex financial models, to replace time-consuming basic work and target the core business of Wall Street.
