why I obsess abt compute scarcity my largest angel/early investments: 2021: Anthropic 2022: ElevenLabs 2023: Sesame, Mistral, Luma 2024: Black Forest Labs, LMArena 2025: OpenRouter, Periodic Labs now add up their annual compute needs for next 24 months $1K to the best guess

ElevenLabs founders must be SHAKING right now... for years they owned TTS because nothing open-source sounded human that’s over... Fish Audio just launched S2.1 Pro and they’re one of the few voice AI companies that also has open-weight models > clone any voice from a 15 second clip > type [whispers] or [laughing nervously] into the script and it obeys > switch languages mid conversation without switching models the model you used to rent a subscription for is now has a public download model tinker with the weights on your own gpu or use the api

You're not ready for this 🚨 AI voices can now laugh, whisper and sigh on command Fish Audio just dropped S2.1 Pro, the most expressive voice AI I've heard. More emotional range than ElevenLabs and Cartesia 6x more affordable than ElevenLabs 💸 Here's the full breakdown 👇 For years, voice AI had one goal: sound human. That race is over. Everything sounds realistic now. The new benchmark is expressiveness. Emotion, nuance, timing. Can a voice *perform* a line, not just read it? That's what S2.1 Pro was built for. I ran the same emotional script through Fish Audio, ElevenLabs and Cartesia. Same words, completely different performances. The pauses, the intonation, the way Fish Audio's voice breathes between lines. It's not close. Watch the video below. The wild part is how you control it. You direct it like a voice actor, in plain text: [nervous laugh] → expressive laughing. [cry] → it cries [long sigh] → it expels a long sigh Plus word-level control over pronunciation, emphasis and pacing. Generating speech is out. Directing performances is in. And it's not just for voiceovers. S2.1 Pro streams at ~90ms to first audio. That's fast enough for live conversation, with rhythm that survives interruptions and topic changes. It's what makes voice agents finally feel human. The practical stuff: • Clone a voice from 15 seconds of audio • 80+ languages in one model • Open-source roots, open weights models, self-hostable • 1/6 of the cost of ElevenLabs HeyGen already integrated Fish Audio. More will follow. Try it: https://t.co/DugUDKVjfm (there's a free tier) Reply with a line you'd love to hear an AI voice truly perform, and I'll run the best ones through S2.1 Pro and post the results 👇

This is the DeepSeek moment for Voice AI. Chatterbox Turbo is an MIT-licensed voice model that beats ElevenLabs Turbo & Cartesia Sonic 3! - <150ms time-to-first-sound - Voice cloning from just 5-second audio - Paralinguistic tags for real human expression 100% open-source. https://t.co/nu6ZpZDwOt

🚨BREAKING: The "Ollama for voice cloning" just dropped. It's called Voicebox and it clones any voice from just a few seconds of audio entirely on your machine. No ElevenLabs subscription. No cloud uploads. No voice data leaving your device. It's powered by Qwen3-TTS, Alibaba's breakthrough voice model. → Upload a few seconds of audio → Get a near-perfect voice clone → Generate speech in any language → Mix multi-voice conversations in a DAW-like timeline editor All running locally. Zero cloud dependency. But it's not just a TTS wrapper. It's a full voice production studio: → Multi-track timeline editor for podcasts and dialogues → System audio capture + Whisper transcription built in → Voice prompt caching for instant regeneration → Built with Tauri (Rust), not Electron 10x smaller, native performance 100% Opensource. MIT Licensed. macOS + Windows available now. Linux coming soon. This is the moment voice cloning leaves the cloud and runs on your desktop. Link in the first comment.

THIS DEVELOPER JUST KILLED THE VOICE CLONING INDUSTRY WITH ONE GITHUB REPO. Claude can now speak in your own voice across 23 languages through a single MCP call. Free. Local. Offline. What used to cost $22 to $330/month with ElevenLabs is now open source under the MIT license. Jamie Pine just dropped voicebox on GitHub, and it already has over 41k stars. It clones any voice from just 10 seconds of audio, lets you choose from seven different TTS engines, and runs entirely on your own machine, so your voice and recordings never leave your computer. Connect it to Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, or any MCP compatible agent with a single voicebox.speak call, and your AI can start replying in your cloned voice. It also adds global voice dictation that works in any app with one hotkey and can generate speech in 23 languages, including Arabic, Japanese, and Polish. One open source app now replaces both ElevenLabs and Wispr Flow. If you’ve been waiting to give your AI agent a voice, this is it. Repo below 👇
