voice cloning

OpenAI acquired Weights.gg, a startup known for creating celebrity voice imitations and voice cloning technology. This acquisition strengthens OpenAI's audio capabilities and could accelerate development of more sophisticated voice synthesis products in the AI market.

xAI's new Custom Voices feature can create a usable voice clone from just one minute of speech input. This capability could accelerate adoption of voice AI applications and reduce barriers to custom voice synthesis deployment.
