About

Ink 2 is Cartesia’s fastest, most accurate streaming speech-to-text model, built for production voice agents with the lowest word error rate and best turn detection of any streaming STT. It is designed to transcribe structured data such as phone numbers, dates, and emails correctly the first time, while also knowing when a speaker starts and finishes without requiring a separate voice activity detection system. Turn detection is built directly into the model, so voice agents can react to events instead of managing raw transcript segments. Ink 2 emits a full lifecycle of turn events, giving an agent clear signals for when to listen, interrupt, think, prepare a reply, cancel a premature response, or speak. The transcript property is cumulative within a turn, meaning each update contains the full text transcribed so far rather than a delta, and emitted text is final once sent.

About

Voxtral models are frontier open source speech‑understanding systems available in two sizes—a 24 B variant for production‑scale applications and a 3 B variant for local and edge deployments, both released under the Apache 2.0 license. They combine high‑accuracy transcription with native semantic understanding, supporting long‑form context (up to 32 K tokens), built‑in Q&A and structured summarization, automatic language detection across major languages, and direct function‑calling to trigger backend workflows from voice. Retaining the text capabilities of their Mistral Small 3.1 backbone, Voxtral handles audio up to 30 minutes for transcription or 40 minutes for understanding and outperforms leading open source and proprietary models on benchmarks such as LibriSpeech, Mozilla Common Voice, and FLEURS. Accessible via download on Hugging Face, API endpoint, or private on‑premises deployment, Voxtral also offers domain‑specific fine‑tuning and advanced enterprise features.
