The next generation of our flagship SDK is here with support for the latest frontier speaker and speech recognition models!
NVIDIA is launching Nemotron 3 Diarization today. Argmax is thrilled to be a launch partner and add Day 0 support in Argmax SDK! This model is the successor to Sortformer v2 with significantly upgraded capabilities:
We have been testing this model for several weeks on both private real-world datasets as well as public benchmarks on OpenBench and it consistently ranked top by a large margin. Many Argmax customers who were previously using Sortformer v2 are already upgrading to Nemotron 3 Diarization.
In specific:
Before Nemotron 3 Diarization, Argmax SDK has assigned speakers to transcribed words after the fact to avoid compounding speaker and speech recognition errors.
For the first time, applying speaker diarization with Nemotron before transcription leads to better transcripts and we have built the new Pre-diarized Transcription API exclusively for Nemotron. The demo video above uses this new API.
Qwen3-ASR achieves market-leading speech-to-text accuracy across 30 languages. Argmax SDK implementation comes with word timestamps, custom vocabulary, code-switching and real-time API support, all in one model!
The best part: This model works with the existing Argmax SDK APIs to facilitate seamless upgrades.
NVIDIA Parakeet remains the fastest model in Argmax SDK with the second highest accuracy after Qwen3-ASR.
Test these models on your own by installing Argmax Playground on your Mac or iPhone here.
