Voice agents, live captioning, contact center analytics, and accessibility tools all depend on real-time speech-to-text, where your application streams audio in and receives transcription back simultaneously over a single persistent connection. Traditional request-response inference falls short here because transcription cannot begin until the entire audio recording has been received, adding latency that breaks the real-time […]
Microsoft has unveiled two new open-source tools called RAMPART and Clarity to assist developers in better testing the security of artificial intelligence (AI) agents. RAMPART, short for Risk Assessment and Measurement Platform for Agentic Red Teaming, functions as a Pytest-native safety and security testing framework for writing and running safety and security tests for AI agents, covering
HashiCorp Vault’s Transit secrets engine provides encryption-as-a-service, allowing applications to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data without managing cryptographic keys directly.

Google announced a new YouTube Shorts Remix feature that lets users restyle clips or even insert themselves into other people's videos using Gemini Omni. Now, at the bottom of a YouTube Short, when you click the remix icon, you'll see an option to "reimagine" it. Here, you can prompt Gemini to turn a video into pixel art, an anime, or a found-footage horror film. But, beyond that, you can also alter the contents by, say, inflating heads, inserting background actors, dressing people in pirate cos
