Interfaze Ships diffusion-gemma-asr-small, an Open-Source Diffusion ASR Model Transcribing Six Languages via DiffusionGemma’s Parallel Denoising Decoder
Summary
<p>Interfaze open-sourced diffusion-gemma-asr-small, a multilingual ASR model that transcribes via diffusion, not autoregression. It adds audio to Google's frozen DiffusionGemma using a ~42M-parameter adapter. One adapter covers six languages, with transcription cost set by denoising steps, not transcript length.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.marktechpost.com/2026/07/02/interfaze-ships-diffusion-gemma-asr-small-an-open-source-diffusion-asr-model-transcribing-six-languages-via-diffusiongemmas-parallel-denoising-decoder/">Interfaze Ships diffusion-gemma-asr-small, an Open-Source Diffusion ASR Model Transcribing Six Languages via DiffusionGemma’s Parallel Denoising Decoder</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.marktechpost.com">MarkTechPost</a>.</p>
