What is Snorkel AI?

Snorkel's feed is an AI-evaluation thought-leadership blog, not a changelog

This feed is Snorkel AI's blog — research talks, conference recaps, and its Benchtalks and Reading Group series — not product release notes. The consistent subject is AI evaluation: the gap between how fast agents are improving and how poorly the field can measure them, and the benchmarks being built to close it.

What is Gladia?

Gladia ships a new flagship speech-to-text model and edges into the meeting-bot stack.

Gladia sells speech-to-text as an API, competing with Deepgram and AssemblyAI. Its recent work centers on model accuracy — the new Solaria-3 model and an open benchmark — alongside developer ergonomics (an official async SDK, a multilingual normalization library) and enterprise trust signals. A new Attendee integration pushes it toward live meeting transcription.

Snorkel's feed is an AI-evaluation thought-leadership blog, not a changelog

◆ Current state

This feed is Snorkel AI's blog — research talks, conference recaps, and its Benchtalks and Reading Group series — not product release notes. The consistent subject is AI evaluation: the gap between how fast agents are improving and how poorly the field can measure them, and the benchmarks being built to close it.

◆ Where it's heading

Snorkel is staking out evaluation-and-benchmarks as its public identity, repeatedly through external researchers (Continual Learning Bench, JudgmentBench, Cua-Bench, ProgramBench) and its own leaders. The recurring thesis — measurement has been outpaced by capability for the first time in the field's history — frames continual learning, human-agent collaboration, and trust in regulated deployments as the next measurement frontiers.

◆ Prediction

Expect more of the same cadence: Benchtalks installments, Reading Group write-ups, and conference-talk recaps oriented around new agent benchmarks and evaluation methods. This feed will track Snorkel's thought leadership rather than product shipping.

6.3

Gladia ships a new flagship speech-to-text model and edges into the meeting-bot stack.

◆ Current state

Gladia sells speech-to-text as an API, competing with Deepgram and AssemblyAI. Its recent work centers on model accuracy — the new Solaria-3 model and an open benchmark — alongside developer ergonomics (an official async SDK, a multilingual normalization library) and enterprise trust signals. A new Attendee integration pushes it toward live meeting transcription.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run through the changelog: advancing the core STT model on real-world, multilingual audio, and positioning Gladia inside the meeting-assistant ecosystem it mapped publicly in May. The Attendee integration, multilingual normalization, and async SDK all lower the friction of wiring Gladia into voice and meeting products.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued Solaria model iteration and more meeting-platform integrations — or first-party bot tooling — as Gladia leans into the meeting-transcription use case it keeps signaling.
