Fish Audio just dropped Drama 3, an open-source 35B MoE speech model built for complex audio storytelling. It can juggle up to 16 distinct character voices in a single script, add contextual tags like sighs or laughs, and patch incorrect words without re-generating the entire audio track. It's basically a full cast in a single model weights file.
Fish Audio just secured $52M in seed funding and launched S2.1 Pro, a new voice cloning model that requires just five seconds of sample audio. The startup claims it runs twice as fast as Cartesia at one-sixth the cost of ElevenLabs, featuring word-level control over pacing and emotion. Frontier AI firms like HeyGen and LiveKit are already running it in production.
Fish Audio just made its flagship text-to-speech model, S2.1 Pro, completely free for developers. It packs support for 83 languages with zero usage caps, making high-end voice synthesis instantly accessible without worrying about token meter anxiety.
Fish Audio just launched Fish Audio S2, an open-source TTS model trained on over 10 million hours of audio across 80 languages. Instead of tweaking global mood sliders, users can insert plain-language bracket tags like [whispering] anywhere in their script for word-level control. Model weights and fine-tuning code are open on GitHub and Hugging Face.
Fish Audio just publicly launched Fish Audio S1, pitching it as the market's most expressive and natural TTS model. The platform is priced six times cheaper than ElevenLabs, boasting 20,000 active developers, $5 million in ARR, and free voice cloning to get started.
