Scaling Generalist Speech models

What it does

We're building the next frontier of speech models. Generalist speech models that unlock in-context learning & strong instruction following for speech models alongside unifying existing speech capabilities like speech to text, text to speech, voice cloning, etc.

Kalpa Labs · Towards generalist audio models

Kalpa Labs is an audio research lab working towards generalist audio models. Our first conversational speech models are in open beta: direct multi-speaker scenes in Studio, talk to a model live, or build on the API.
