Google has released Google AI Edge Eloquent, a new iOS app that converts speech into polished text entirely on-device. The app offers unlimited usage with no subscription, real-time transcription, and optional Gemini integration for enhanced text refinement.

Google has released Gemma 4, a family of four open models ranging from 2B to 31B parameters, now available under the Apache 2.0 license for the first time. The 31B dense model ranks 3rd on the Arena AI Text Leaderboard, while the 26B mixture-of-experts variant ranks 6th, both outperforming significantly larger competitors. All models support multimodal inputs and are available on Hugging Face, Kaggle, and Ollama.

NVIDIA has optimized Google's Gemma 4 models for local deployment on RTX and Spark platforms, targeting the emerging wave of on-device agentic AI. The optimization enables small, efficient models to access real-time local context for autonomous decision-making without cloud dependency.

Mistral AI released Voxtral TTS, an open-source text-to-speech model designed for enterprise voice agents and edge devices. The model supports nine languages, adapts custom voices from samples under five seconds, and achieves 90ms time-to-first-audio latency with a 6x real-time factor.
