Gradium
TTS optimized for live voice agents + cloning

About
Gradium extends its seed funding to $100 million, welcoming new investors including NVIDIA, and opens a San Francisco Bay Area office to scale its real-time voice AI.
Our latest Text-to-Speech model takes under 50ms for the first audio chunk to arrive. Choosing a fast model does not have to come with cutting corners for model robustness: it improves naturalness and expressivity while retaining our strengths on hard cases like phone numbers and alphanumeric text.
