NVIDIA Open-Sources Lightning-Fast ASR Model: Parakeet TDT 0.6B V2

NVIDIA has released Parakeet TDT 0.6B V2, a high-speed automatic speech recognition (ASR) model that sets a new benchmark on Hugging Face’s Open-ASR leaderboard—with real-time factor (RTFx) of 3380.

Key Highlights:

• Ultra-Fast Inference: Transcribes 60 minutes of audio in just 1 second (RTFx 3380 at batch size 128).

• Architecture: Combines a FastConformer encoder with a TDT decoder, supporting audio inputs up to 24 minutes with punctuation, capitalization, and detailed timestamps.

• Training Specs: Pretrained over 120K hours of speech data (human + pseudo-labeled), including LibriSpeech, Fisher, YTC, YODAS, and more.

• Fine-Tuning: Refined on 500 hours of high-quality human-transcribed English; trained on 128 A100 GPUs over 150K steps.

• Open Licensing: Released under CC-BY-4.0, enabling commercial use.

• Availability: Deployable via nemo_toolkit['asr'] and runs on Ampere, Blackwell, Hopper, and Volta GPUs with as little as 2GB RAM.

Why It Matters: Parakeet TDT 0.6B V2 makes state-of-the-art transcription accessible to researchers and developers, with real-world applications ranging from voice assistants to enterprise-level meeting summarization. NVIDIA’s open-source release accelerates the pace of innovation in speech AI while enabling commercial adoption at scale.

How to Craft a LinkedIn Carousel with GPT-4o & AI Tools

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use GPT-4o to design a scroll-stopping LinkedIn carousel that showcases smart scheduling tools with AI-generated visuals and captions.

Step-by-step:

• Start with 8-slide structure: Hook, Problem, Solution, Tools (Reclaim, Motion, Clockwise), Before/After, CTA

• Use GPT-4o to generate 1:1 images with prompts like “Messy desk to digital calendar” and “AI organizing a cluttered schedule”

• Add titles and text overlays in Canva or Figma for extra polish and branding consistency

• Combine the slides into a single PDF and upload as a document post on LinkedIn

Pro tip: Keep each slide under 15 words. Use bold, clear fonts and your brand colors to stay on-theme.
