Miso TTS
Miso Labs builds emotive foundation models for voice, designed to help developers create voice agents that feel fast, warm, and human instead of robotic or delayed. Its flagship model, Miso TTS, is an 8-billion-parameter transformer model for state-of-the-art emotive speech and dialogue generation, with open source weights available on Hugging Face and API access coming soon. Miso is built for real-time conversational voice, responding in 110ms to preserve natural flow and avoid the awkward pauses common in AI voice agents. It supports one-shot voice cloning, allowing users to clone a voice from a ten-second audio clip while keeping the agent’s voice consistent from the first second of a call to the last. Miso Labs also emphasizes local and sovereign deployment, with open source models built for local use and on-premises hosting and support available for enterprise teams that need to keep sensitive data in-house.

OpenAI Whisper
Whisper is an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system developed by OpenAI for converting spoken language into text. It is trained on 680,000 hours of multilingual and multitask audio data collected from the web. The model is designed to handle diverse accents, background noise, and technical language with high accuracy. Whisper supports transcription in multiple languages as well as translation into English. It uses an encoder-decoder Transformer architecture to process audio inputs and generate text outputs. The system can also perform tasks like language identification and timestamp generation. Overall, Whisper enables developers to build robust voice-enabled applications with ease.

Gemini Omni Flash
Gemini Omni is Google’s new model family where Gemini’s ability to reason meets the ability to create, starting with video. The first model in the family, Gemini Omni Flash, can create anything from any input by combining images, audio, video, and text as input, then generating high-quality videos grounded in Gemini’s real-world knowledge. It gives users an easier way to edit video through conversation, where every instruction builds on the last, characters stay consistent, physics hold up, and the scene remembers what came before. Users can transform specific details or entire worlds, reimagine action, add new characters or objects, change environments, adjust camera angles, refine styles, and build multi-turn edits without losing the thread of the original scene. Gemini Omni is designed to bridge photorealism and meaningful storytelling by reasoning about what should happen next, using an intuitive understanding of forces like gravity, kinetic energy, and fluid dynamics.

MAI-Transcribe-1.5
MAI-Transcribe-1.5 is Microsoft AI’s production-ready speech-to-text model for turning noisy audio into highly accurate, domain-aware transcripts across 43 languages. It delivers consistent, high-accuracy transcription across languages, accents, speaking styles, and challenging audio conditions, with automatic language detection included. The model is designed for real-world audio where speech often comes through conference rooms, phone lines, busy streets, low-quality recordings, background noise, and overlapping speakers. MAI-Transcribe-1.5 adapts transcription to domain-specific terminology, making it ready for captions, call analysis, accessibility, meeting transcription, doctor’s notes, pharma customer calls, content workflows, and other enterprise speech use cases out of the box. It uses contextual biasing to improve recognition of specialized vocabulary, names, industry language, and terms that generic transcription systems may miss.
