Deepgram just launched Flux TTS, a text-to-speech model built specifically for live conversations. It delivers latency as low as 80ms and handles interruptions, order changes, and rapid numbers mid-call. Instead of flashy demos, it is built for real production deployments, and it is free for developers until September 12th.
Deepgram just launched Saga, a voice-powered operating system designed to embed directly into coding environments like Cursor and Windsurf. Developers can speak out ideas to generate prompts or manage Jira and Slack tickets without touching the keyboard. Why it matters: It turns speech into the primary interface for software development, killing the quiet productivity tax of constant tab-switching.
Deepgram just launched Aura, a real-time text-to-speech API designed to help conversational AI agents speak without awkward pauses. It renders realistic voices in under half a second—often under 0.3 seconds—at $0.015 per 1,000 characters, making natural phone-based customer service bots much cheaper and faster.
