AI·LLM-based ASR in regulated domains like banking is limited by privacy and real-speech collection costs; synthetic TTS data is a cost-effective substitute, but acoustic mismatch hinders supervised fine-tuning (SFT). Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) applied solely to synthetic speech reduces WER by 40% relative to SFT (36.71% to 22.09%) and by 45% in the SFT-then-GRPO sequence, by improving behavioral calibration and audio attention rather than representations.

AI·The paper empirically assesses the reliability of Gemini models as audio judges for full-duplex voice agents by scoring stereo waveforms, validated against human calibration.
Semantic audio applications increasingly require controllable generation on commodity and embedded hardware rather than through framework-heavy datacenter stacks. We present aria, a dependency-free native runtime that runs the complete text-to-music pipeline of Stable Audio~3 (SA3) on ordinary GPUs, CPU-only machines, and a Raspberry~Pi~5, with no Python or deep-learning framework underneath. Our main contribution is a study of quantization: running the model at lower numerical precision to fit…
Our newest audio model introduces granular audio tags that give you precise control to direct AI speech for expressive audio generation.
Our latest voice model has improved precision and lower latency to make voice interactions more fluid, natural and precise.
Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) are increasingly integrated into daily applications, yet their generative biases remain underexplored. Existing speech fairness benchmarks rely on synthetic speech and Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs), both offering a fragmented view of fairness. We propose VIBE, a framework that evaluates generative bias through open-ended tasks such as personalized recommendations, using human-recorded speech. Unlike MCQs, our method allows stereotypical associations to man…
