WE'RE NUMBER ONE — well, sort of.

We've been working really hard to turn the success of our consumer products into an API. Now our API is ready, and we just launched our new Simba 3.2 streaming-native model.

It immediately hit joint-second on voicearena.com so while it's there... consider this me, shamelessly screaming from the roof-tops. It wasn't even close (it was really close!).

Voice Arena leaderboards are alarmingly competative. I need to stay focussed on my job and not just refreshing it every 5 minutes for more votes to come in. 2nd place is Cartesia but they're 7x more expensive. Eleven V3 is $100/1M while we're still $6/1M

The challenge to the big brands is what does that other $94/1M get me? Because it isn't speed, price or quality anymore.
