Google AI Launches Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS: A New Benchmark in Expressive and Controllable AI Voice

Chrome users were caught off guard by a 4-GB Google AI model baked into Chrome, sparking privacy concerns. The good news: You can easily uninstall it. The bad? You might not want to.

Large language models are getting incredibly powerful, but let’s be honest—their inference speed is still a massive headache for anyone trying to use them in production. Google just launched Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) drafters for the Gemma 4 model family. This specialized speculative decoding architecture can actually triple (3x) your speed at inference time, all without […] The post Google AI Releases Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) Drafters for Gemma 4: Delivering Up to 3x Faster Inference Without Quality Loss appeared first on MarkTechPost.

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, […] The post A Coding Implementation on Deepgram Python SDK for Transcription, Text-to-Speech, Async Audio Processing, and Text Intelligence appeared first on MarkTechPost.

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 […] The post xAI Launches Standalone Grok Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech APIs, Targeting Enterprise Voice Developers appeared first on MarkTechPost.

If you have ever stared at thousands of lines of integration test logs wondering which of the sixteen log files actually contains your bug, you are not alone — and Google now has data to prove it. A team of Google researchers introduced Auto-Diagnose, an LLM-powered tool that automatically reads the failure logs from a […] The post Google AI Releases Auto-Diagnose: An Large Language Model LLM-Based System to Diagnose Integration Test Failures at Scale appeared first on MarkTechPost.

Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS is now available across Google products.

Can we reconstruct audio codes if we have audio for the Voxtral text-to-speech model? The post A Guide to Voice Cloning on Voxtral with a Missing Encoder appeared first on Towards Data Science.
