Groq and PlayAI bring ultra-fast, emotional voice AI to GroqCloud
Groq just partnered with PlayAI to deploy its Dialog text-to-speech model on GroqCloud, featuring English and native Arabic support. Using PlayAI's adaptive contextualizer alongside Groq's LPUs, the model responds with conversation-aware emotion at up to 140 characters per second—roughly 10x faster than real time. Why it matters: developers can now build voice agents with near-zero latency and convincing prosody directly on a single inference platform.
