Natural language, and in particular voice on glasses, will be a key interface for the future of personal computing. If you're excited about these ideas too, give our preview a try and reach out

Today we're announcing our @sesame iOS app preview, giving you a first look at our collection of personal agents, a new way to explore your curiosity and think out loud.

We’ve come a long way since the Research Preview from last year: new features, new characters, and better capabilities.

Voice is the next great interface shift.

We're partnering with @brendaniribe, @natemitchell, @_apkumar, @2rhb & the @Sesame team to bring computers to life, not just as tools, but as thought partners.

[Sesame @sesame]

We're just getting started: https://t.co/nlmmbzfdf4

[Sesame @sesame]

Maya and Miles are learning new languages!

This week, we deployed a new voice model to our web demo with improved support for Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

Give it a try and let us know what you think: https://t.co/Edp8V8tTr4

We asked @kirstenagreen what she's most excited about in AI.

"Voice. The amount of information people share over voice compared to typing is tenfold."

"We are just in the early stages. @sesame is very exciting."

[Ankit Kumar @_apkumar]

@l4stewar Are u trying to say we should promote more positivity in tech discussions

[Jay Hack @mathemagic1an]

🔊 Excited to announce: @codegen is now GA!! 🎉

2 years ago, we set out to build an agentic developer.

With Claude 3.7, it's now possible like never before - and it's absolutely killer.

Build with @codegen across Slack, Github and Linear. It's transformed how we work. 👇

[Ankit Kumar @_apkumar]

We’re going to grow slowly and carefully, but we are growing. If you’re excited about what we’re building @sesame, reach out!

the core research team behind the sesame voice model is <9 ppl

as @_apkumar walked through in our latest 1.5 hr podcast, talent density beats team size most days

[Ankit Kumar @_apkumar]

We just released a CSM base model variant. It’s powerful, finetunes well, and is a great size for local use.

[Vaibhav (VB) Srivastav @reach_vb]

HOLY SHITT, Sesame Labs just dropped CSM (Conversational Speech Model) - Apache 2.0 licensed! 💥

> Trained on 1 MILLION hours of data 🤯
> Contextually aware, emotionally intelligent speech
> Voice cloning & watermarking
> Ultra fast, real-time synthesis
> Based on llama architecture & Mimi like decoder
> Apache 2.0 licensed
> Weights on the Hub

So cool to see such a strong Speech backbone out in the wild! Kudos @sesame team! 🤗

[Sesame @sesame]

We're excited to be getting all the great feedback. Some of you may have noticed that Maya and Miles have been getting busy these past few hours. Rest assured, we're working to help them answer more calls!

[Ankit Kumar @_apkumar]

@teortaxesTex Glad you liked it. We’re hoping to release weights in 1-2 weeks

[tobi lutke @tobi]

Man, sesame’s voice model is absolutely insane. You have to try this demo. GG @brendaniribe

what comes after smartphones?

AI glasses you actually want to talk to

we @a16z are excited to invest in @sesame’s mission to bring the computer to life:

[Ankit Kumar @_apkumar]

@mohamed17381489 @sesame We’re hoping to update with code and weights in 1-2 weeks

[Brendan Iribe @brendaniribe]

We’re exploring a future where the computer isn’t just a tool—it’s a partner with a truly natural voice and personality. No big claims, just early work we’re excited to share. @sesame

[Ankit Kumar @_apkumar]

Excited to show a bit of what we’ve been building @sesame
