What changed from MAI-Transcribe-1.5
Compared with the previous release in this series. A field appears only when both records state a value — where one does not, it is listed as uncomparable rather than dropped, because a gap in our research is not a finding about the model.
Not comparable: Capabilities and modalities (not researched on both releases)
