“The voice AI lab shipped Eleven v4 and v4 Turbo, its fastest speech models yet. Turbo hits a median 150 ms time-to-first-speech, making the awkward pause virtually vanish for callers. It starts streaming audio back before your LLM even finishes generating the sentence, built for real-time agent loops. You get support f”

“The AI lab tested Chinese GLM-5.3 and found that it can build working cyber-attacks almost as well as Claude Mythos Preview. Keep in mind, Mythos is the frontier model that Anthropic locked down over safety risks as compared to the open-source Chinese model that anyone can use right now. In testing, it dug up zero-day”
