Does the best score improve with each release, or does the leader change while the human gap stays similar? A consistent time series could answer that.

Are we actually measuring the things we ultimately want our voice AI models to achieve?
The best AI voices are becoming hard to tell apart.
From each other. Not from humans.
🚀 Introducing Turing TTS: an evaluation that measures how often human listeners mistake AI-generated speech for real human speech.
We tested leading TTS models against real human speech. Even the best model fooled listeners only ~10% of the time.
With Turing TTS, we hope to contribute to a broader discussion within the research community about how we measure progress in voice AI.
If one of our goals is to develop speech that is indistinguishable from human speech, how well do our current evaluation methods capture progress toward that goal?
We don’t claim that Turing TTS is the right way forward, or that human indistinguishability should be the goal of every TTS system.
Rather, we hope these findings encourage the community to collectively examine whether blind pairwise human evaluations of naturalness are sufficient, and what else we might need to measure.

Most think vibecoding at scale is slop. Here’s a counterexample.
Today we release a 16M-line formalization of the entire Stacks Project, critical infra underlying modern math, with optimized code quality and its highly interconnected structure preserved.

When top-tier gaming talent meets world-class engineers, something interesting happens. 🔥
Love the idea of bringing exceptional minds together beyond the usual professional boundaries.
The real breakthrough in wearables isn't collecting more data. It's turning that data into actionable insights.
AI-powered personalized coaching could be a game changer for athletes. 🚀
AI is becoming more than just a productivity tool. It's becoming the engine behind entire businesses. 🚀
Giving AI the power to build, sell, and manage checkout experiences is a huge step forward.
Excited to see what AlphaWeb brings!
Free access to powerful AI models is always a win for developers. 🔥
Zero credits, no claims, just build. Love seeing platforms make AI more accessible!
Autonomous cargo aviation could transform logistics. ✈️
Connecting 5,000 public-use airports with unmanned aircraft is a massive vision for the future of freight.
At Aviern, we are making unmanned cargo airplanes for autonomous airports.
The US has 5,000 public-use airports, and we will fly freight autonomously to every single one of them.
We’ve raised $1.3M from YC & Afore Capital so you never have to type or speak again.
Typing is slow. Talking into your computer is awkward. Subvocal fixes both
Our glasses give you the speed of speech without you making a sound or touching a keyboard.
It tracks your internal speech muscles with non-contact sensing and decodes silent, almost invisible mouthing into text at more than 200 words/min.
