Good news for Indian tech companies who use Google Maps APIs.

Google announces "India specific pricing" for Maps APIs, with up to 70% lower prices on most APIs.

In my 5 years at Swiggy, I never saw Google Maps drop their prices. Maps API billing moved in only one direction - up.

It's great to see competition drive prices lower for consumers. Kudos to @MapmyIndia
and @Krutrim for shaking up this monopoly.

When companies compete, consumers benefit.

🤯 Human-like TTS is now ~11x cheaper(no pun)

Text to Speech was an entirely new one in OpenAI DevDay, adding directly to their multi-modal stack

Sharing some samples - 6 voices, multiple languages, cheaper, streamable and very human like

The proposed training procedure results in large improvements in localization error, detection metrics, and tracking capabilities. Code available here: https://t.co/hYAoUY1J3y

We further formulate the popular tracking-based metrics of CLEAR-MOT as a differential objective function and optimise the multi source localizer directly on it.
