Artificial Intelligence: This Berlin company is building cheaper and faster models than OpenAI
Deepslate is developing its own AI models that generate voices in real-time, competing with OpenAI and Elevenlabs. The start-up has now raised millions for its approach.
The booming market for artificial intelligence-generated voices is attracting investors worldwide, who believe it will simplify the way humans express thoughts compared to typing and chatting. However, developing speech-to-speech models that process language, generate responses, and convert them back into speech quickly has proven challenging.
