24 alternatives to Infinity – Realistic AI characters that can speak

Hey HN, this is Lina, Andrew, and Sidney from Infinity AI (https://infinity.ai/). We've trained our own foundation video model focused on people. As far as we know, this is the first time someone has trained a video diffusion transformer that’s driven by audio input. This is cool because it allows for expressive, realistic-looking characters that actually speak. Here’s a blog with a bunch of examples: https://toinfinityai.github.io/v2-launch-page/ If you want to try it out, you can either (1) go to https://studio.infinity.ai/try-inf2, or (2)…

    Luke from ElevenLabs here. We just released Scribe Realtime v2, our new real-time Speech to Text model. We rebuilt it from the ground up around a new architecture that uses predictive transcription – it anticipates the next likely word before it’s spoken. That makes it both fast (around 150 ms latency) and highly accurate. Scribe v2 Realtime outperforms every low latency transcription model across 30 commonly used EU and Asian languages – 93.5% accuracy, compared to Gemini 2.5 Flash (91.4%), GPT-4o MiniTranscribe (90.7%), and Deepgram Nova 3 (85%). It supports 90+ languages including…

    I’m excited to introduce Infinite Talk AI, a tool that creates realistic, unlimited-length AI talking videos. It transforms your audio into lifelike videos with synchronized lip movements, facial expressions, and body language. Inspiration Behind It Frustrated with the short video limits of other AI video tools, I created Infinite Talk AI to solve this problem. I wanted a platform that allows the creation of long, engaging content without any quality loss. Key Features: No Length Limits: Perfect for long-form videos like courses or virtual assistants. High-Quality Output: Lifelike lip-sync,…

Here's a demo: https://www.loom.com/share/941577113141418e80d2834c83a5a0a9 Chatbots are everywhere and voice AI has taken off, but we believe video avatars will be the most common form factor for conversational AI. Most people would rather watch something than read it. The problem is that generating video in real-time…
