Mistral releases Voxtral 2 transcription models with real-time option

Mistral announces Voxtral 2 with two transcription models: Voxtral Realtime, released under an Apache 2 license with latency configurable to sub-200 ms, and Voxtral Mini Transcribe 2, which adds speaker diarization, word-level timestamps, and context biasing.

The models support 13 languages and are available through the Mistral API, which the post describes as one of the most cost-effective transcription APIs on the market.

The attached chart shows word error rates on FLEURS across Italian, Spanish, English, German, Portuguese, French, Russian, Dutch, and Chinese at several latency settings.
