Miso Labs has released MisoTTS, an open-weights 8B text-to-speech model. It uses residual vector quantization (RVQ) to scale its sonic range without scaling parameters, and conditions on both text and audio context to respond to speaker tone. The architecture pairs a 7.7B backbone with a 300M depth decoder.

Learn how the Voxtral TTS model works, what makes its voice cloning and low‑latency performance special, and how to start generating speech with just a few lines of Python code.
In this tutorial, we build an advanced hands-on workflow with the Deepgram Python SDK and explore how modern voice AI capabilities come together in a single Python environment. We set up authentication, connect both synchronous and asynchronous Deepgram clients, and work directly with real audio data to understand how the SDK handles transcription, speech generation, […]

Elon Musk’s AI company xAI has launched two standalone audio APIs — a Speech-to-Text (STT) API and a Text-to-Speech (TTS) API — both built on the same infrastructure that powers Grok Voice on mobile apps, Tesla vehicles, and Starlink customer support. The release moves xAI squarely into the competitive speech API market currently occupied by […]

Google has introduced Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS, a preview text-to-speech model focused on improving speech quality, expressive control, and multilingual generation. Unlike previous iterations that prioritized simple conversion, this release emphasizes natural-language audio tags, native support for more than 70 languages, and native multi-speaker dialogue. This release signals a shift from ‘black-box’ audio generation toward […]
