 - **MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize** brings long-form ASR, timestamps, and anonymous speaker labels to FunASR services, Docker, Kubernetes, vLLM/SGLang workflows, and FunClip. [Deploy MOSS ->](./docs/moss_transcribe_diarize.md)
-- **FunASR 1.4.17** adds explicit PCM16 input and improves timestamp, hotword, speaker-sample-rate, and long-segment streaming handling. Install with `python -m pip install -U "funasr==1.4.17"`. [Release and verification scope ->](https://github.com/modelscope/FunASR/releases/tag/v1.4.17)
-  **Previous release: FunASR 1.4.16** preserves explicit VAD, punctuation, and speaker-model device placement across inference calls, and adds tested native Transformers adoption guides. [Release and verification scope ->](https://github.com/modelscope/FunASR/releases/tag/v1.4.16)
+- **FunASR 1.4.18** fixes local hotword-file loading, filtered-token timestamp alignment, and Chinese VAD sentence/speaker drift. Install with `python -m pip install -U "funasr==1.4.18"`. [Release and verification scope ->](https://github.com/modelscope/FunASR/releases/tag/v1.4.18)
