The wait is finally over, and we're thrilled to present Aura — the first text-to-speech model built for responsive, conversational AI agents and apps. 🗣️ Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/g4ra5vMq Over the last year, we've heard our customers' heartache about the current crop of text-to-speech products, citing roadblocks related to speed, cost, reliability, and conversational quality. “Deepgram and Groq share the belief that speed and efficiency are the missing ingredients in unlocking natural AI for daily use by everyone, as evidenced by the recent viral reception to ultra-fast LLMs when made available for the first time. Their voice AI models are prime examples of what can be achieved with the Groq API.” –Jonathan Ross, CEO & Founder of Groq That's where Aura comes in. Designed to handle real-time conversations at scale, developers can create realistic AI agents to support seamless interactions across various cases, from voice ordering systems to customer support. Aura checks all of the boxes: ✅ Lightning-fast speed with less than 250 ms latency ✅ High-quality voices with natural-sounding tone, rhythm, and emotion ✅ Cost-efficient for high-throughput applications Check out our open-source interactive demo: https://lnkd.in/gMJTDWE8 We're eager to see how Aura will fuel the next wave of AI innovation, and can't wait to see what you build!
