Smallest.ai raises $13M to build ultra-fast voice AI that sounds genuinely human

Smallest.ai is a startup developing ultra-fast voice AI models that simulate human-like conversations, having recently raised $13M to fund its operations.

Smallest.ai focuses on reducing response latency to under 500ms, making it faster than most existing solutions, while also improving naturalness to pass the Turing test.

It could be beneficial for call centers and government services dealing with Arabic and local dialects, but language support and integration costs should be evaluated first.
