    Qwen Releases Real-Time Simultaneous Interpretation Model Qwen3.8-LiveTranslate

    Qwen has released its next-generation real-time simultaneous interpretation model, Qwen3.8-LiveTranslate, built on the Interleave architecture. Across 60 languages, it reduces average latency (LAAL) from 2.8s to 2.3s, while improving faithfulness, fluency, and conciseness. New capabilities include real-time speaker diarization, which can distinguish speakers in multi-party speech and preserve each person's voice through more stable voice cloning; synchronized bilingual display, presenting the source text and translation on the same screen; and long-context disambiguation, which uses conversation history to clarify names and terminology to ensure translation consistency. The model is now available on QwenCloud, and the official release also provides links to a blog post and case studies.
