News of the Day

Voice AI at Just $0.001/Min

French AI startup Mistral launches its first open-source voice AI models called "Voxtral"

Mistral has introduced Voxtral, a new family of open-source voice models that offer high performance at a much lower cost, aiming to compete with big players like OpenAI and Google.

• Two versions available: Voxtral Small (24B parameters) for heavy tasks and Voxtral Mini (3B) for lighter use.

• Advanced features: Transcribes audio up to 30 minutes and understands content up to 40 minutes.

• Extremely low cost: API starts at just $0.001 per minute, and models are available for free download on Hugging Face.

Voice AI has become a key part of many products, but most options are either expensive and closed-source or free but limited. Voxtral fills this gap with a powerful, open, and affordable solution, giving developers more control, better performance, and lower costs.

Copilot Can Now See Your Screen

Microsoft adds a new feature to Copilot called "Desktop Share" that lets the AI see and understand your screen, only when you allow it, to give instant help. This is different from the controversial Recall tool.

• Copilot Vision can now see the whole desktop or any specific app window, not just two apps at once.

• The new feature works like screen sharing in video calls and is fully under your control.

• It helps you with tasks like analyzing files, reading web pages, or guiding you through a new app or game.

This update gives Copilot more useful powers while keeping privacy in your hands. It makes AI help feel more like a real assistant, seeing what you see and giving advice right when you need it.
