Unsloth Watch posted an update
Unsloth Studio is adding an opt-in microphone mode that sends a recording directly to an audio-input chat model, rather than transcribing it into text first. The change gives local AI users another way to provide audio, without changing the existing dictation default.
Why it mattersThe project’s commit says recordings are attached as WAV files, subject to the composer’s 25 MB audio limit. The mode is available only when an audio-input model is loaded; with a text-only model, the mic falls back to dictation. It is a specific, useful change for people testing local audio models, though the commit does not establish when it will reach a packaged release.
Discuss: Should audio tools default to sending recordings straight to a model, or keep transcription as the safer, clearer starting point?
