ElevenLabs just released Eleven v4 alongside Eleven v4 Turbo, its most expressive text-to-speech models yet. The update lets creators direct emotion and sound effects using inline tags, cuts voice cloning audio requirements to just 10 seconds, and supports over 90 languages. With median inference latency clocked at roughly 100ms, Turbo enables natural, expressive voice agents that respond without awkward conversational pauses.
ElevenLabs just launched a student tier offering college students in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and the EU three months of free access to its creative suite, agents platform, and APIs, alongside a free year of ElevenReader Ultra. The move aims to put professional-grade voice AI into the hands of young builders and researchers, with broader international rollout planned next.
ElevenLabs just made its Eleven v3 Conversational speech model generally available via ElevenAgents and its API. The real-time model covers 70+ languages and 11,000+ voices, adding audio tags that let developers cue emotions like whispering, laughing, or sarcasm. Starting at $0.05 per 1,000 characters, it brings humanlike nuance to voice agents.
ElevenLabs just rolled out the first insurance policy for AI voice agents, backed by the AIUC-1 security certification. After passing over 5,000 adversarial tests, companies can now insure their bots against hallucinations and prompt injection attacks. Why it matters: over 95% of enterprise AI pilots stall over legal and security fears, and financial underwriting might be the exact safety net businesses need.
ElevenLabs just launched a unified enterprise AI voice platform split into two engines: ElevenAgents for customer-facing bots and ElevenCreative for high-fidelity audio production. It integrates out of the box with tools like Salesforce and Zendesk, giving companies an easy path to deploy voice agents at scale.
