Today we’ve raised $52M Seed and we are announcing the public launch of S2.1 Pro.
>It can clone a voice from 5 seconds of audio
>2x faster than Cartesia & 1/6th the cost of Eleven Labs
>most expressive model with word level control over emotion, intonation, pacing etc
We support frontier AI companies including HeyGen, LiveKit, Retell, Sanas, and OpenArt all run our model in production.
If you're a business and we can't cut your voice AI costs by 50%, we'll give you 1 year of Fish Audio for free.
Book a demo: s.fish.audio/tmapke
To celebrate our first birthday, we'll give you 1 month of S2.1 Pro for free. Like, retweet, and comment “Fish” to get it.

We're excited to join forces with @SpaceX to advance the frontier of useful AI. Expect significant improvements to Cursor soon.
SpaceX has exercised the option to acquire @cursor_ai in an all-stock transaction with the goal of building the world’s most useful AI models.
For the past few months, SpaceXAI has been jointly training a model with Cursor, which will be released in Cursor and Grok Build soon.
We look forward to working closely with the Cursor team to advance our frontier AI capabilities

It's now well understood that the better the context, the better the performance of AI models.
But it's the same lesson as scaling human organizations. Maximize and enrich context. Engineers and designers are not code & pixels pushers. They solve business problems.
At Vercel we've found that maximizing transparency and a 'build in public' ethos increases autonomy (agency 😁) and makes work more fulfilling and impactful.
This is incidentally how we end up with stories of interns engineering infrastructure improvements that save millions upon millions of dollars for our customers: vercel.com/blog/cdn-request-…

"100 million words context window is already possible, which is roughly what a human hears in a lifetime. Inference support is the only bottleneck to achieve it.
And AI Models actually do learn during the context window, without changing the weights."
~ Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei
(On the 2nd point, there was this brilliant Google Paper published last week that says, LLMs can learn in context from examples in the prompt, can pick up new patterns while answering, yet their stored weights never change.)
