Awesome progress from the @tavus research team on realtime emotional control/rendering. Can’t wait for y’all to see this in action

Something new is coming. Human computing. A shift in how we connect with AI... and who’s on the other side.

We've raised $100M from Kleiner Perkins, Index Ventures, Lightspeed, and NVIDIA. Today we're introducing Sonic-3 - the state-of-the-art model for realtime conversation. What makes Sonic-3 great: - Breakthrough naturalness - laughter and full emotional range - Lightning fast - 90ms model latency, 190ms end-to-end (fastest on market) - Supports 42 languages The difference: We build on State Space Models (SSMs) instead of Transformers. Transformers (what everyone else uses) are like rewatching the entire conversation from the start before saying each new word. Every word requires reviewing everything. SSMs (what Sonic-3 uses) are like humans, remembering the topic and vibe of the conversation. Enough context to speak naturally without replaying everything. My co-founder, Albert, and I pioneered the SSM paradigm at Stanford AI Lab (S4, Mamba), and it is now being adopted industry-wide. Thousands of businesses like ServiceNow, Cresta, and Decagon power millions of conversations monthly with Sonic. Try for free or book a demo here: cartesia.ai/sonic. If you're qualified and we can't make your voice AI better than what you're using now, I'll donate $5K to your chosen charity. As part of this launch, we cooked something super cool for you 👇🏻

breaking sam news: today I’m joining @tavus’ design team to facilitate human-computer peace negotiations. for real though I’m very excited about this and can’t wait to get started in about 56 minutes from now after i finish breakfast.

Had the pleasure of working on this project and helping bring new Tavus rebrand to life. Such a cool project with amazing people to work with!

🚨 Introducing the AI Apps 50: Startup Edition Ever wondered how startups are spending their money when it comes to AI? Our team at @a16z worked with @mercury to crunch the numbers and rank the top applications by spend. The list + what we learned from it👇

In Tavus we trust

Earlier this week, we hosted our YC Voice Agents event with an incredible lineup of panelists: @hassaanraza97 at @heytavus (YC21) Anthony Krivonos at @TomaAuto (YCW24) @akyshnik at @leaping_ai (YCW25) @mlchild at @VolleyGames (YC18) YC companies were among Sonic’s earliest design partners, and it’s inspiring to see how far real-time voice applications have come - from avatars to call centers to gaming. Here are some highlights 👇

I get the discourse is to hate on the new iPhones.. but the 🍊orange one is hot. a real throwback to the tangerine iMac/iBook days when computers were fun to look at
