🤝IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ELEVEN LABS
The best voice models, now across all channels
Most CX platforms do not own the voice. They orchestrate a workflow, then call a third party for speech and transcription. Every hop adds latency, cost, and another vendor to manage.
ElevenAgents is the opposite. They make the voice models the market builds on, and ElevenAgents puts full orchestration on top. Voice, transcription, text-based chat, and reasoning run in one vertically integrated pipeline, so responses come back in <400 milliseconds and sound human, not synthetic.
Plus, you keep full control. Plug in any LLM, integrate tools, webhooks, and MCP servers, and ground responses in your knowledge base. Get an agent live in minutes, then A/B test with Experiments, enforce Guardrails, and version every change.
The payoff: more human conversations, lower latency, and far less time stitching infrastructure together. You build on the models you already trust. Pricing is transparent and flat at $0.08 per minute.

Anthropic's Model Hardware Standard Lets AI Agents Operate Lab Instruments Directly
Intelligence: Anthropic is opening early access to a new standard that lets AI agents operate lab and manufacturing equipment directly, from microscopes to robotic arms. The project started with a research campus and now has hardware makers across biotech, robotics, and quantum computing lining up to test it.

The standard works with any device that has a programmable interface and isn't tied to one AI model.
Partners testing it span biotech, robotics, quantum computing, and industrial automation, including AWS, Danaher, and Hugging Face.
Devices can hand off routine steps to code so agents don't have to reason through every single action.
In one test, Claude adjusted a laser, watched the result through a camera, and turned what it learned into a repeatable script on its own.

Gemini Omni 1.1 Adds Scene Extension, 4K Upscaling, and Faster Preview Rendering
Intelligence: Google rolled out Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash with a set of video tools built for actual production work, including scene extension, keyframe control, and 4K upscaling. The update is meant to take generative video from a novelty demo to something developers can build real workflows around.
Scene extension can now reference up to 10 seconds of prior footage instead of just the final second.
Videos can be extended in 10-second increments up to a total of 40 seconds.
Developers can set specific first and last frames to control transitions and camera movement.
Draft previews in 360p render up to 60% faster and cost a third as much as standard resolution.
Final output can be upscaled all the way to 4K, ready for professional use straight out of the API.
