Key points
- Granite-Speech-5.0-Turbo-CTC, the fastest ASR model on the OpenASR Leaderboard, embedded for use in transcription tasks.
- Our previous release of Granite Libraries features a repository of specialized “decision model” adapters and other specialized task adapters that can be composed into custom Granite Switch models.
