What it does

Today we just shipped Arcana, and we think it’s the most realistic spoken language model yet! Infinite custom voices from just fictional names or simple descriptions. Laughter and sighs plus dynamic emotions. Multi-lingual out of the box.

AI voice models built for real-time conversations. 600+ voices, 50+ languages, sub-100ms latency. Trusted by global enterprise.

Pick an industry and a style, then press play to hear how Rime shapes a voice for the moment. When the voice is talking to a patient, a cardholder, or a hotel guest deciding whether to stay the night, quality stops being a nice-to-have. Rime delivers the speed real conversations need and runs inside your own environment when compliance demands it. Choose from 600+ voices, then shape accent, pace, and tone until it fits your brand and your industry. What comes out sounds like a person who wants to be on the call and not a system working through a script. Rime was founded by people who study how language actually works. That's why our voices land the rhythm, stress, and warmth of real speech…from rime.ai

    Infinity – Realistic AI characters that can speak2024 · ▲481

    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)…

  • Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
