Deepgram targets voice AI on air-gapped laptops

Deepgram, a leading provider of voice AI technology, is targeting air-gapped laptops as a new platform for its voice AI models. The company's 13-year history has equipped it with the expertise to optimize models for noisy environments such as air traffic control and emergency medical services. However, Deepgram recognizes the need to continuously improve its models and considers each release a potential candidate for retraining.

Currently, many of Deepgram's customers host the models themselves, and a partnership with Fortanix Inc. enables private, on-premises voice AI deployment for regulated industries. Deepgram relies on Dell Technologies for its infrastructure and runs its models in Dell's Customer Solution Center Innovation Lab. The company's vision extends beyond data centers and includes running voice AI models natively on AI-enabled laptops carried by students. This approach aims to bring AI closer to users and meet their usage patterns.
