Amazon’s plans to power its U.S. data centers with nuclear energy have run into a significant hurdle. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) rejected a deal that would have allowed Amazon to draw more power from the Susquehanna nuclear plant in Pennsylvania. The proposed amendment would have increased the co-located load from 300 to 480 MW, a move that regulators argued could jeopardize grid reliability and potentially increase energy costs for other users.

Neural contextual biasing allows speech recognition models to leverage contextually relevant information, leading to improved transcription accuracy. However, the biasing mechanism is typically based on a cross-attention module between the audio and a catalogue of biasing entries, which means computational complexity can pose severe practical limitations on the size of the biasing catalogue and consequently on accuracy improvements.
