Cerence goes the distance! 🏃♀️ For the third year running (literally!), members of our Aachen team joined over 7,000 runners from 483 companies at the Aachener Firmenlauf, a company run which raised €10,000 for charity and celebrated teamwork, health, and community spirit. This year, 11 Cerence runners from across research, sales, engineering, and professional services laced up their shoes to represent us. They finished strong, placing 191 out of 310 in the 6.6 km race and 81 out of 147 in the 9.9 km. More importantly, they had a blast, and the excitement is already building for next year! Way to go, team – proving that when we go together, we go far! #WeAreCerence

In the world of automotive AI, Small Language Models (SLMs) are making a significant impact by delivering high-performance results with fewer resources. As the industry moves towards faster, more reliable, and sustainable solutions, SLMs are becoming a game-changer.⚡ Just yesterday, we launched our own automotive-specific SLM, CaLLM™ Edge, developed in collaboration with Microsoft. Built to power next-gen voice and conversational AI, CaLLM™ Edge enhances in-car experiences with responsive, intelligent voice assistance that works seamlessly - even offline, without the need for cloud connectivity. This means more data privacy, with personal data staying secure in the car instead of being sent to the cloud. So, what’s your take? 🤔 #WeAreCerence
