2b-parameters

NemoStation has released Marlin-2B, a 2-billion parameter video vision-language model that produces structured scene and event captions with second-precise timestamps. The model tops the CaReBench dense captioning leaderboard and sits between Tarsier-34B and Gemini-1.5-Pro on DREAM-1K, while matching Gemini-2.0-Flash on temporal grounding benchmarks.

Cohere has released Transcribe, a 2 billion parameter open-source automatic speech recognition model that the company claims tops the Hugging Face Open ASR Leaderboard with a 5.42% word error rate. The model supports 14 languages and is available under Apache 2.0 license, outperforming OpenAI's Whisper Large v3 and competing models on both accuracy and throughput metrics.
