    Cloudflare Workers AI previews Clairic, a System One-style extraction model

    Cloudflare Workers AI has released Clairic in preview, a strongly typed extraction model that pulls, computes, estimates and forecasts values from inputs and returns confidence scores and probabilities for each output. The model has a 65,536-token context window, supports vision, offers zero data retention and is priced at $0.10 per M input tokens. In the documented invoice example, Clairic extracts fields such as invoice number, due date and total, returns null with p_null 1 for a missing PO number, and gives a median of 30 with a p10-p90 interval of 21 to 38 for days_to_pay.

    Fish Audio Releases Live 3, a Full-Duplex Voice Model That Reacts in 186 ms

    Fish Audio released Live 3, a full-duplex voice model for real-time voice agents that keeps listening while it speaks and learns turn-taking from real human conversations instead of hand-tuned pipeline rules. Fish Audio says it can decide to respond in as little as 186 ms for short reactions like "mm-hmm," though that figure is a floor for small reactions rather than time-to-first-audio for a full reply, and no benchmark scores have been published. Live 3 runs on the Fish Agent Platform (public beta), the Fish Audio API and on-premises for enterprises, priced at $0.035 per minute until December 31, 2026 versus a $0.07 list rate, and supports English only.

    ElevenLabs releases Scribe v3 and Scribe v3 Live speech-to-text models

    ElevenLabs released two speech-to-text models, Scribe v3 for pre-recorded audio and Scribe v3 Live for low-latency real-time use, both available through the ElevenAPI developer interface and the ElevenAgents platform. The company says Scribe v3 cuts word errors by about 25 percent versus its predecessor across 102 languages, and Scribe v3 Live uses conversational context to tell when a speaker has actually finished instead of relying on pause timers. Independent benchmarks from Artificial Analysis place Scribe v3 among the most accurate transcription models, trailing only an Alibaba preview model, but show it lagging on speed and priced at $3.33 per 1,000 minutes.

    Zyphra releases ZONOS3-Mini, an Apache 2.0 zero-shot voice-cloning TTS model that runs on-device

    Zyphra released ZONOS3-Mini, a sparse MoE text-to-speech model with 100M active and 800M total parameters under Apache 2.0, trained on 112 NVIDIA H100s in 2.5 days. It reaches under 570 ms time-to-first-audio in the browser on a Pixel 9 and under 150 ms on an M3 MacBook Air, with runtimes for WebGPU, SGLang, vLLM and GGML. The model adds control over identity, accent, quality, mood and delivery, including word-level steering, and Zyphra reports it ranks first among open models on its new ZTTS2-Eval benchmark.

    Why it matters: Zyphra's compact MoE TTS model pairs zero-shot voice cloning with word-level delivery control while running in real time on phones and laptops.

    Preferred Networks releases PLaMo 3.0 Fin finance-specialized small language model as open weights

    Preferred Networks released PLaMo 3.0 Fin, a finance-specialized small language model built on the PLaMo 3 NICT pretraining model from joint research with NICT and further trained on Japanese financial data, publishing open weights on Hugging Face under the PLaMo Community License. The model adds step-by-step Reasoning with reasoning traces output in Japanese, plus tool calling for web search, calculation and internal database access, and can run on a single GPU in closed cloud or on-premise environments. PFN says the instruction-following training for Reasoning and tool use was carried out on its own MN-Core 2 AI chip, with code porting completed within a week and training speed comparable to a GPU environment.

    inclusionAI Releases Ling-3.0-flash-Sante-fp8, an FP8-Quantized Healthcare Model

    inclusionAI released Ling-3.0-flash-Sante-fp8, an FP8-quantized version of its healthcare-specialized Ling-3.0-flash-Sante model, keeping 124B total and 5.1B active parameters per token. It matches the BF16 checkpoint's 73.9 average across healthcare benchmarks while cutting weight memory for FP8-capable hardware. The research-only model supports 256K-token contexts and defaults to thinking mode with tool calling.

    PFN releases PLaMo 3.1 Prime with Web search and Deep Research

    Preferred Networks began offering PLaMo 3.1 Prime on October 27, 2026, adding Web search and a Deep Research feature that autonomously plans, collects, analyzes and writes source-cited reports over several minutes to tens of minutes. Deep Research also runs on-premises and can connect to internal document search systems, while the company reports an average ~15% score improvement across eight hallucination-related benchmarks including AA Omniscience versus PLaMo 3.0 Prime. PFN also cites 1.7x faster processing via speculative decoding and a 90% reduction in output tokens in non-reasoning mode, and launched a free PLaMo API plan plus a PLaMo Chat campaign offering Deep Research twice daily until November 30, 2026.

    Why it matters: PFN's PLaMo 3.1 Prime adds autonomous Deep Research that runs on-premises, giving Japanese enterprises a locally deployable option for source-cited investigation work.

    Mistral releases Voxtral 3 speech models and voice agent SDK

    Mistral released Voxtral 3, a family of speech-to-text and text-to-speech models plus a voice agent SDK built on LiveKit that streams listening, reasoning, tool calling and speaking in one pipeline. Voxtral Small Transcribe 3 covers 50+ languages with diarization and context biasing, Voxtral Mini TTS 3 supports 35+ languages and 50+ dialects, and the stack is available through Mistral's EU-hosted API or self-deployment. Pricing starts at $0.0035/min for batch transcription and $13 per 1M characters for TTS.

    Why it matters: Mistral's Voxtral 3 pairs multilingual speech models with a LiveKit-based voice agent SDK, giving teams a sovereign-deployable option for real-time voice agents.

    Anthropic releases Claude Sonnet 5.5 with unchanged per-token pricing and 30% faster output

    Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5.5, the second model in the Claude 5.5 family after Opus 5.5, which the company says is smarter, more efficient and 30% faster than Sonnet 5 at the same per-token price. Because it typically needs fewer tokens per task, Anthropic says most work costs up to 30% less, and the model ships with a native 1M-token context window, 128k max output and thinking on by default. The release guide lists breaking changes for Sonnet 5 users, including replacing disabled thinking with the between_tools setting, swapping forced tool_choice for auto plus strict tools, and moving computer use to the computer_toolset_20260801 toolset.

    Why it matters: Anthropic's Sonnet 5.5 keeps Sonnet 5 pricing while cutting per-task token use, and the migration notes show what changes for teams already building on Sonnet 5.
