Microsoft has released VibeVoice-Realtime-0.5B, a real time text to speech model that works with streaming text input and long form speech output, aimed at agent style applications and live data narration. The model can start producing audible speech in about 300 ms, which is critical when a language model is still generating the rest of its answer. Where VibeVoice Realtime Fits in the VibeVoice Stack? VibeVoice is a broader framework that focuses on next token diffusion over continuous […]
Author(s): Carlos Eduardo Favini Originally published on Towards AI. By Carlos Eduardo Favini Industrial AI — Image by Author 1. The Semantic Ceiling: Why Industrial AI Stalls After two decades of investment, roughly 70% of digital transformation initiatives fail to scale beyond pilot stages (McKinsey, 2023). Industry 4.0 delivered connectivity — sensors, networks, data lakes — but not cognition. The result: dashboards that monitor but don’t decide, models that predict but don’t understand, and automation that breaks when […]
At this point, Google and OpenAI are battling it out neck to neck in terms of AI models. Earlier today, we reported that Google is finalizing an affordable image generation model that offers somewhat similar image quality as the Nano Banana Pro model. Here, the image generation model in question is the Nano Banana 2 Flash, and it will reportedly be powered by Gemini 3 Flash. OpenAI is reportedly testing a new AI image model Now, OpenAI appears […]
Machine-learning models can speed up the discovery of new materials by making predictions and suggesting experiments. But most models today only consider a few specific types of data or variables. Compare that with human scientists, who work in a collaborative environment and consider experimental results, the broader scientific literature, imaging and structural analysis, personal experience or intuition, and input from colleagues and peer reviewers. Now, MIT researchers have developed a method for optimizing materials recipes and planning experiments […]
As AI systems begin handling more complex, multi-stage tasks, understanding agentic design is becoming essential. This article outlines seven practical steps to build reliable, effective AI agents.
Port offers a proprietary alternative to Spotify’s popular devtool catalog Backstage, but with a valuable addition: it can be used to manage AI agents, too.
The latest is Microsoft’s largest investment in Asia.
