Meta's new real-time audio model is the foundation for AI assistants that never stop listening
Based on reporting from The Decoder; no matching primary source is listed in the Source Stack yet.
What happened
Meta has released Muse Voice Transcribe, a real-time model that transcribes speech, detects sentence boundaries, and tells up to 20 speakers apart without separate systems.
What the report says
- The model supports over 70 languages and is available now in Meta AI and through the Meta Model API.
Why it matters
For teams building live transcription tools, Meta's new real-time audio model needs to be evaluated during conversation, including speaker changes, interruptions, and background noise. Accuracy on a recorded clip alone does not establish whether a live service can respond reliably.
Who it affects
Developers integrating Meta's new real-time audio model
The bigger picture
Live audio systems have to handle interruptions and overlapping speech as well as recognize words. Evaluating Meta's new real-time audio model therefore requires conversation tests that measure responsiveness and recovery from errors, alongside the accuracy of isolated recordings.
What happens next
- Test Meta's new real-time audio model for turn-taking latency, transcription errors, and interruption handling in live conversations.

- Microsoft’s new AI ‘code of conduct’ tells models not to hack systems or trick humans
The release comes amid an unprecedented focus on AI safety, driven by a string of rogue-agent incidents, as well as the abrupt resignation of an Anthropic employee, who cited the growing risk that AI would cause human extinction. Still, the result is a comprehensive guide as to how Microsoft approaches AI safety and how those ideas are implemented in practice. The document is more low level than Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s recent call for pacing the frontier, instead focusing on the values and red lines that guide model training within Microsoft AI. As the AI world shifts its focus to safety and alignment, Microsoft has released a new AI code of conduct meant to guide AI models away from dangerous behavior.
