Today we’re excited to introduce Bland TTS, the first voice AI to cross the uncanny valley. Several months ago, our team solved one-shot style transfer of human speech. That means, from a single, brief MP3, you can clone any voice or remix another clone’s style (tone, cadence, or pronunciations, etc.). With Bland TTS: • Creatives can turn text into realistic sound effects or AI voice tracks with precise control over style and emotion. • Developers can plug in our TTS API to build voice apps fully customized to their liking. • Enterprises can launch AI-driven support lines that sound so natural — customers will save you as a contact (try talking to it on our site). 🧵Check out the thread below or visit our website to get started for free

Learn to build conversational AI voice agents in "Building AI Voice Agents for Production", created in collaboration with LiveKit and RealAvatar, and taught by dsa (Co-founder & CEO of LiveKit), Shayne (Developer Advocate, LiveKit), and Nedelina Teneva (Head of AI at RealAvatar, an AI Fund portfolio company). Voice agents combine speech and reasoning capabilities to enable real-time conversations. They're already being used to support customer service, to improve accessibility in healthcare, for entertainment applications, and for talk therapy. In this course, you’ll learn to build voice agents that listen, reason, and respond naturally. You’ll follow the architecture used to create the "AI Andrew" Avatar, a collaborative project between and RealAvatar that responds to users in what sounds like my voice. You’ll build a voice agent from scratch and deploy it to the cloud, enabling support for many simultaneous users. What you’ll learn: - Understand the fundamentals of voice agents, including key components like speech-to-text (STT), text-to-speech (TTS), and LLMs, and how latency is introduced at each layer. - Explore voice agent architectures and the trade-offs between modular pipelines and speech-to-speech APIs. - Explore how platforms like LiveKit mitigate latency issues with optimized networking infrastructure and low-latency communication protocols. - Learn how to connect client devices to voice agents using WebRTC—and why it outperforms HTTP and WebSocket for low-latency audio streaming. - Incorporate voice activity detection (VAD), end-of-turn detection, and context management to detect turns, handle interruptions, and manage conversational flow. - Understand the trade-offs between latency, quality, and cost in an example in which you build a voice agent and change its voice. - Equip your agent with metrics to measure latency at each stage of the voice pipeline and learn the key levers you can pull to make your agent faster and more responsive. The voice agents built in this course also incorporate voice technology from , a supporting contributor to the project. By the end of this course, you'll have learned the components of an AI voice agent pipeline, combined them into a system with low-latency communication, and deployed them on cloud infrastructure so it scales to many users. I’m looking forward to seeing what voice agents you build from this course! Please sign up here:

Smart Turn v2: open source, native audio turn detection in 14 languages. New checkpoint of the open source, open data, open training code, semantic VAD model on Hugging Face, fal, and Pipecat AI. - 3x faster inference (12ms on an L40) - 14 languages (13 more than v1, which was english-only) - New synthetic data set `chirp_3_all` with ~163k audio samples - 99% accuracy on held out `human_5_all` test data Good turn detection is critical for voice agents. This model "understands" both semantic and audio patterns, and mitigates the voice AI trade-off between unwanted turn latency vs the agent interrupting people before they are finished speaking. Training scripts for both Modal and local training are in the repo. We want to make it as easy as possible to contribute to or customize this model! Here's a demo running the smart-turn model with default settings, aimed at generally hitting 400ms total turn detection time. You can tune things to be faster, too. You can help by contributing data, doing architecture expermints, or cleaning open source data! Keep reading ...

New course: MCP: Build Rich-Context AI Apps with Anthropic. Learn to build AI apps that access tools, data, and prompts using the Model Context Protocol in this short course, created in partnership with Anthropic Anthropic and taught by Elie Schoppik Elie Schoppik, its Head of Technical Education. Connecting AI applications to external systems that bring rich context to LLM-based applications has often meant writing custom integrations for each use case. MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how LLMs access tools, data, and prompts from external sources, and simplifies how you provide context to your LLM-based applications. For example, you can provide context via third-party tools that let your LLM make API calls to search the web, access data from local docs, retrieve code from a GitHub repo, and so on. MCP, developed by Anthropic, is based on a client-server architecture that defines the communication details between an MCP client, hosted inside the AI application, and an MCP server that exposes tools, resources, and prompt templates. The server can be a subprocess launched by the client that runs locally or an independent process running remotely. In this hands-on course, you'll learn the core architecture behind MCP. You’ll create an MCP-compatible chatbot, build and deploy an MCP server, and connect the chatbot to your MCP server and other open-source servers. Here’s what you’ll do: - Understand why MCP makes AI development less fragmented and standardizes connections between AI applications and external data sources - Learn the core components of the client-server architecture of MCP and the underlying communication mechanism - Build a chatbot with custom tools for searching academic papers, and transform it into an MCP-compatible application - Build a local MCP server that exposes tools, resources, and prompt templates using FastMCP, and test it using MCP Inspector - Create an MCP client inside your chatbot to dynamically connect to your server - Connect your chatbot to reference servers built by Anthropic’s MCP team, such as filesystem, which implements filesystem operations, and fetch, which extracts contents from the web as markdown - Configure Claude Desktop to connect to your server and others, and explore how it abstracts away the low-level logic of MCP clients - Deploy your MCP server remotely and test it with the Inspector or other MCP-compatible applications - Learn about the roadmap for future MCP development, such as multi-agent architecture, MCP registry API, server discovery, authorization, and authentication MCP is an exciting and important technology that lets you build rich-context AI applications that connect to a growing ecosystem of MCP servers, with minimal integration work.

99% of AI applications are cool-looking demos. Impressive, but don't get fooled by the hype. It takes a lot to build enterprise-grade products that deliver real value. I have at least three weekly conversations with companies that want to use a Large Language Model with their data. The demand is huge! Here is one idea about what you can do to help. The use cases that most of these companies want to solve are similar: They have an extensive knowledge base and want to build a simple application that uses that information to answer questions. In other words, they need help building Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications they can use in many different scenarios: 1. To train new employees 2. To help their support team 3. To search old meetings and documents 4. To help with their research However, building these systems is not straightforward. Yes, there's a lot of information online, but there aren't enough people who know how to create solutions that work. Here is the idea: Today, you can build an enterprise-grade RAG application without writing code. A couple of MIT PhDs with 10+ years of experience building AI applications created . It's a no-code platform for building applications using Large Language Models. They are partnering with me on this post. You can use Stack AI to create, test, and deploy an end-to-end production-ready AI system. It's SOC-2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliant and offers SSO, role management, access control, and on-premise deployments. Of course, you can use the platform with any LLM on the market now. It's the whole nine yards for building AI applications. Check them out here: 2023 was about models. 2024 is about the tools using these models to build production-ready applications. That's where I'd start.

New short course: Serverless Agentic Workflows with Amazon Bedrock. Learn to build and deploy serverless agents in this course created with Amazon Web Services and taught by Mike G Chambers, a Senior Developer Advocate at AWS specializing in GenAI. (Disclosure: I serve on Amazon's board.) Generative AI applications are becoming more complex, sophisticated, and agentic. Agentic applications have workloads that can be hard to predict in advance -- for example, what tools will it decide to call? -- and a serverless architecture helps you efficiently providing on-demand resources. This course teaches you to build and deploy a serverless agentic application. You’ll learn to create agents with tools, code execution, and guardrails, and build responsible agents for business use cases: - Build a customer service bot for a fictional tea mug business that can answering questions, retrieve information, and process orders. - Connect your customer service agent to a CRM to get customer info and log support tickets in real-time. - Explore how you invoke the agent, and see the trace to review the agent’s thought process and observation loop until it reaches its final output. - Attach a code interpreter to your agent, giving it the ability to perform accurate calculations by writing and running its own Python code. - Implement guardrails to prevent your agent from revealing sensitive information or using inappropriate language. By the end, you will have built a sophisticated AI agent capable of handling real-world customer support scenarios. Please sign up here!

Better/faster/cheaper voice AI turn detection with Gemini 2.0 The code that determines when the agent should respond to the user is some of the most important code in your voice AI agent. The technical terms for this job are "turn detection" or "phrase endpointing." If the voice AI responds before the user has finished their thought, the conversation is choppy and unproductive. If the AI waits too long, the conversation is slow and frustrating. There are a number of ways to approach this. You can: 1. Use a fast "voice activity detection" model to detect pauses in speech. Respond when the user pauses. 2. Use a specialized phrase endpointing model that operates on transcribed text, pattern-matching on text semantics. 3. Train a specialized phrase endpointing model that operates directly on audio. 4. Leverage the native audio capabilities of a SOTA LLM like Gemini 2.0. We've benchmarked all four of these, and Gemini 2.0 currently beats other approaches. Using Gemini is also cheaper than transcribing the audio separately using a transcription service or model. Here's a short video showing Gemini phrase endpointing in two scenarios. First, correctly handling pauses in natural conversation. Second, requesting a phone number (which is a common activity in a use case like customer support). You can see the Completeness check lines in the terminal output, printed each time Gemini processes a chunk of audio.

Sarvam Beats GPT-4o: India’s New AI Model Claims Top Spot in Indic Speech Sarvam AI, an Indian startup, recently launched Sarvam Audio, a speech recognition model that claims superior performance over GPT-4o Transcribe on Indic language benchmarks. This development highlights India's push for AI sovereignty in handling local linguistic nuances. Sarvam Audio supports 22 Indian languages from the Eighth Schedule, plus Indian English, with strong handling of code-mixing like Hindi-English blends. It features built-in speaker diarization for up to eight speakers and processes long-form audio such as podcasts or meetings. Trained on the IndicVoices dataset 12,000 hours from over 16,000 speakers across 208 districts it captures real-world noise and spontaneous speech. The model reportedly outperforms GPT-4o Transcribe and Gemini 3 Flash in transcription accuracy (lower Word Error Rate) on IndicVoices benchmarks for unnormalized, normalized, and code-mixed speech. Sarvam attributes this to specialization on Indian accents and patterns, unlike global models trained on Western data. Detailed public benchmarks are pending independent verification. Key Applications 🔴 Call centers and logistics for multilingual transcription. 🔴 Banking, fintech, and e-commerce for customer interactions. 🔴 Podcasts, meetings, and lectures via API for real-time or batch processing. 🔴 This B2B-focused tool aligns with India's IndiaAI Mission, backed by government GPU access for sovereign LLMs. Credit : AIM Networks.
