@snehalsurti @build_canada Did Cohere themselves say it was frontier?
English

@build_canada Calling Cohere a frontier model is wild when most people still need to Google what Cohere is.
Even DeepSeek and Kimi have more AI street credibility and somehow sound less desperate for the word frontier.
English

The fastest frontier model on the market is now available.
It’s open source.
And Canadian. 🇨🇦
Canada has what it takes to be a leader in AI. It’s time to mobilize our resources to achieve it. 👇

Introducing: Cohere Command A+ We’ve created our most powerful LLM yet, optimized it to run on as little hardware as possible, and released it open-source for all.

@DamirWallener @build_canada TBF, it is very much an open model.
English

@build_canada This is flat out lying…
What are you doing, man?
1. It’s not open source
2. It’s not a frontier model
3. It’s poor at reasoning, chained logic, coding, writing

Cohere AI has released Cohere Transcribe, a new 2B parameter Conformer-based ASR model built for open, production-grade speech recognition.
What stands out is not just the open release, but the reported performance.
Here are some KEY POINTS:
- As of Today (March 26 2026) The model ranked #1 on the Hugging Face Open ASR Leaderboard with a 5.42 average WER across benchmarks like AMI, Earnings22, GigaSpeech, LibriSpeech, SPGISpeech, TED-LIUM, and VoxPopuli.
- The model supports 14 languages, handles long-form audio through chunking, and is designed for vLLM-based serving in production environments.
- Automated Long-Form Handling: To maintain memory efficiency and stability, the model uses a native 35-second chunking logic. It automatically segments audio longer than 35 seconds into overlapping chunks and reassembles them, allowing it to process extended recordings—like 55-minute earnings calls—without performance degradation.
One important detail: this is an audio-in, text-out ASR model. It does not provide speaker diarization or timestamps, which makes the positioning much clearer for AI devs evaluating where it fits in a real speech pipeline.....

@JamesPGoddard90 @grok where and when was this video taken
English

It is now being reported that the Pawtucket, Rhode Island Hockey Arena shooter was transgender.
Add it to the list:
- Tumbler Ridge shooter was transgender.
- Annunciation Catholic Church shooter identified as trans
- Nashville Christian shooter identified as trans
- Lakewood Church shooter identified as trans
- Colorado Springs shooter identified as non-binary
- Denver shooter identified as trans
- Aberdeen shooter identified as trans
- Iowa high school shooter trans activist
- Charlie Kirk’s assassin Tyler Robinson had a furry obsession and lived with transgender boyfriend
- Trump’s attempted assassin Thomas Crooks used they/them pronouns, had a deep interest in furries, and was exploring gender identity.
Radical gender ideology is pushing unstable individuals toward violence and targeting innocent people.
Trans violence is an epidemic and the threat is escalating.

@escapefrommelos In case any Americans weren't aware, that's not John Travolta on the left.
It's Gary Barlow.

@stephenpollard @Telegraph Isn't the real victim of injustice here...the police officer?
English

Here's an extract from my @Telegraph column, 'The Palestine Action acquittals are telling British Jews they have no future here'
telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/02/0…
It’s not been a great couple of years to be Jewish in Britain. Ever since twelve hundred Jews were massacred by Hamas in Israel in 2023, the response here in Britain has been an unprecedented wave of Jew hate, with hundreds of thousands taking to the streets week after week to join hate marches chanting “globalise the intifada” – roughly translating as, “kill the Jews”. That demand bore fruit last October at Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester.
In reality, the writing has been on the wall since 2015, when the election of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader unleashed a torrent of anti-Semitism which, at the time, seemed like a ceiling but has turned out to be a floor.
Throughout this past decade – through the assaults, the murders at Heaton Park, the verbal attacks and everything else – I’ve never really believed that it might be time to leave. I’ve always thought that there was a bedrock of decency among ordinary Britons. The antisemites might be vocal and growing, but they aren’t the full picture.
But the acquittal today of six members of Palestine Action over charges of aggravated burglary in connection with a break-in at the Elbit Systems factory in 2024, in which a police officer’s spine was shattered, is something altogether different.
The Jewish community and our allies have complained about the police’s lack of action in protecting us, and about the CPS’s refusal to prosecute in too many cases, sending a clear message to the antisemites that they are cleared to go about their business.
This case is different. The police acted. The CPS prosecuted. And what happened? A jury of ordinary Britons – the supposed bedrock of decency – decided to acquit the defendants.
That decision, I believe, may come to be seen as the single most significant case in the history of Anglo-Jewry since 1945. It shows that the game is up. We can no longer rely on the criminal justice system. And when the law is no longer there to protect us, who or what will?
The case involved a break-in at the Israeli defence contractor Elbit Systems’s factory near Bristol. It is open season on Israeli businesses at the moment – and by “Israeli” I mean any business in which an Israeli is thought by the so-called Free Palestine mob to be involved. That includes restaurants, cafes, comedy venues and anywhere else where there is the scent of a Jew.
Video evidence in the Elbit Systems case showed all six defendants entering the factory without permission and then damaging equipment. They told the jury that the sledgehammers they used were intended solely to destroy property and were not “in any circumstances intended to injure security staff”.
But as security guards tried to stop them, sledgehammers were swung at the guards. As Avon and Somerset Police Federation put it after the verdicts: “Like people across the country, we have viewed very distressing scenes during this trial, including footage of a police officer trying to maintain law and order only to be severely injured. We remind the public that a brave police officer’s spine was fractured during this incident.”
The jury could not reach a verdict on the charges of criminal damage against all six defendants, on the charges of violent disorder against three of them, or on the charge that one of them inflicted grievous bodily harm on Sgt Kate Evans.
To cut a long story short, the message of the case is this: you can smash the spine of a police officer and so long as you are doing it because of “Palestine”, you can walk home free.
How do I tell my children that they are safe when they walk the streets? If a Free Palestine protester decides to assault them because they look Jewish and so must be complicit in genocide – to use the blood libel de nos jours – will a jury decide the protestors were, indeed, protesting? So it seems.
This is a vital, real question, not just because it goes to the heart of whether there is a future for Jews in the UK, but because similar incidents are happening now. Recent cases include a knifeman running into a kosher shop and attacking Jews. He walked home after court.
And last month a huge mob terrified people inside a restaurant in West London with Israeli connections. The police stood and watched (and have subsequently apologised for their refusal to act). A convoy of cars drove through Jewish areas in north west London screaming “F--- the Jews, rape their daughters”. No one was prosecuted. And that’s not even to mention the hate spread in mosques, when no action is taken.
After any incident politicians mouth the ludicrous mantra, there is no place for antisemitism on the streets of Britain, when the evidence shows there is a very welcome place for it here. It may be that it’s now over for Jews in Britain.

@LBC @paulmasonnews "The left are the true racists," went so hard in 2010. Not anymore. Mason is clearly not a racist, but a subversive socialist that equates ethnicity and oppression. Gold's offer of a colourblind world still dispossesses England of it's historical identity.

'You're the only one talking about skin colour!'
Podcaster Andrew Gold says it’s racist that @PaulMasonNews is 'proud Britain has a black leader of the opposition.'

@AaronBastani The Glorious Revolution is listed by conservatives as an instance of English wisdom that avoided a bloody revolution but maintained a polity largely continuous with the country's previous trajectory - unlike the Jacobites.

When did it became normal to be a person of foreign heritage, like myself, and want Britain to be…literally invaded by a foreign power?

@bbctms Erections are normal and natural. We tell that to boys. So are explicitly sexual thoughts throughout the day.
Imagine if Michael Atherton said to Ms Hartley: "I'd get up to see the boundary but I'm currently at full mast."
Natural =/= public. Have some standards.

@AndrewGold_ok @KiszelyPhilip You are clearly supporting similar outcomes as the Left. Stop pretending like there is any meaningful similarity between Steve Laws and a woke subversive. You are simply taking a slightly different approach to fashioning the country's identity so that it benefits you.
English

@KiszelyPhilip The Nazis, the Islamists and the woke should get together some time. They probably will!
English

Kudos to @AndrewGold_ok for confronting naked hatred.
It got me to thinking…
Neo-Nazis like Steve Laws say that I should be deported. My foreigner father came over from Hungary in 1959, you see. That wouldn’t be too bad, in and of itself (Hungary is kind of ok in their book); but there’s also the fact that I’m ethnically Slavic, and that there is almost definitely ’Roma blood’ in the line. Which means that I should be bundled, very much against my will, on the first boat to nowhere.
Dirty. Unclean. Vermin. That’s me.
It doesn’t matter that I love my country - or that I was born here. Or that I want foreign criminals deported. Or that I want Islamist terror-supporters out of here - pronto! Or that I advocate for Britain on national media practically EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. None of that counts.
It was always the crazy left. They were the nutters to watch, especially when it came to murderous Jew-hate. The ACTUAL far-Right - the neo-Nazis - were a minority, so tiny as to be insignificant.
But times change. The neo-Nazis are on the march again, or so it seems - powered in no small measure by decades of disastrous mass immigration (and a massive dollop of enforced celibacy).
Here’s the thing: they’re EXACTLY the same as the Islamists. Their worldview is identical. I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of inadequate masturbators imposing their frustrations on the rest of us. Time to push back against genocidal maniacs of all stripes. Urgh!
