The hardest problems in Voice AI can't be solved by Claude. (We checked.) The @Elyos_AI team will be in San Francisco next Monday hosting a dinner for Founders and Founding Engineers deep in this space. We've got an amazing group coming to talk about what's actually hard in voice right now. Come join us 👇 luma.com/zr3xlueb

"It doesn't meet our bar." That's what we said listening back to our early calls. The agent stepping on the user, missing cues, killing the flow. We were determined not to ship that. 🧵

This screenshot is a reminder of how far we've come. Over the next few weeks I'll be sharing the models we tested, the latency tradeoffs, and what actually moved the needle in production. The stuff that doesn't make it into the docs.

The @Elyos_AI team will be in San Francisco next month and we are hosting a dinner for Founders and Founding Engineers building voice agents. Just good food, sharp minds and honest conversation about what’s actually hard right now in voice. luma.com/zr3xlueb

Don't miss out on this. This is a pivotal moment for founders to build something great. Deadline is February 9th. Apply now @ycombinator
The way startups are built has shifted quickly. We're excited about a range of startup ideas for AI-native companies that can now be built faster, cheaper, and with more ambition than ever. ycombinator.com/rfs

At @Elyos_AI We benchmarked 13 STT providers on 100 real customer calls from the trades businesses. Not synthetic lab data. Real calls with: - Background noise & multiple speakers - UK postcodes & addresses - Regional accents (England, Scotland, Ireland) - Short confirmations to long explanations Top performers: 🥇 @DeepgramAI Flux - 15.9% WER 🥈 @soniox_ai - 16.9% WER 🥉 @Speechmatics - 17.7% WER @OpenAI Whisper? 39.8% WER - wouldn't recommend for production voice AI. What's your experience with STT models? Are we there yet?

Crazy that you can actually run this locally. Will be sharing results soon.
NVIDIA just dropped PersonaPlex-7B 🤯 A full-duplex voice model that listens and talks at the same time. No pauses. No turn-taking. Real conversation. 100% open source. Free. Voice AI just leveled up. huggingface.co/nvidia/person…

We sat down with @pstrav, co-founder & CTO of @elyosenergy, to chat about building a climate tech startup why the power grid is broken, energy flexibility for commercial & industrial buildings, launching early, building things that don't scale, and more startuppirate.com/p/building…
