Show HN: Nari Qwen3-TTS and Qwen3-ASR – High accuracy, low latency and cost
Nari Labs claims top Coval voice AI benchmark rankings with low-latency, low-cost Qwen3-ASR and Qwen3-TTS inference endpoints.
Nari Labs says its Qwen3-ASR Fast endpoint ranks #1 in Coval's time-to-final-segment latency (p50 44 ms) with 3.6% WER at $0.12/hour, behind only AssemblyAI Universal 3.5 Pro on accuracy. Its Qwen3-TTS Fast ranks #2 in time-to-first-audio (p50 63 ms) and #1 in WER at 3.8%, priced at $10 per 1M characters. The company reports beating the official Qwen3 TTS Flash Realtime endpoint (8.8% WER, 692 ms median TTFA) and Baseten's dedicated endpoint (6.0% WER, 101 ms). Public beta APIs are moving to paid general availability with $20 in credits for existing accounts.
Introducing agentic video understanding with Gemini
Google DeepMind launches agentic video understanding for Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite, cutting video-analysis tokens up to 88%.
Google DeepMind launched agentic video understanding across Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. The feature replaces static fixed-FPS ingestion with an agentic loop that dynamically searches frames, audio, and transcripts, cutting token consumption by up to 88%, reducing costs by up to 66%, and improving accuracy by up to 7%. Gemini 3.7 Flash with the feature sits at the accuracy-to-cost Pareto frontier on tested video benchmarks, and the capability will later power YouTube's Ask YouTube feature.
GitLab 19.3 helps enterprises scale agentic development securely
GitLab 19.3 runs its Duo Agent Platform AI Gateway inside Dedicated single-tenant environments and adds Secrets Manager plus agentic SAST remediation.
GitLab 19.3 lets GitLab Dedicated customers run the Duo Agent Platform AI Gateway within the same single-tenant environment and region, with support for bring-your-own inference models. The release adds Secrets Manager in limited availability scoping secrets to environment and branch across Kubernetes, Terraform, and OpenTofu, plus bulk SAST false positive detection and agentic vulnerability resolution generating ready-to-merge fixes. Flow Creator Agent creates automation flows from plain-language descriptions, and GitLab Credits usage caps are now generally available.
