Congratulations @moinnadeem @phonic_co for dropping the #1 speech-to-speech model!
Speech-to-speech models have traditionally sacrificed intelligence. Phonic-1 from @phonic_co is the most advanced speech-to-speech model for agentic tasks, running highly challenging calls across six continents.
Trained and served on Together AI. Congrats to the Phonic team!

:) love seeing the community adoption of Phonic-1!
@amos_gyamfi, would you be open to adding a iOS/SwiftUI example to our examples repo?

If you need a speech-to-speech model for your app/project, Phonic-1 is the best alternative to GPT-Live-1, Gemini 3.8 Live, and Grok Voice 3. I tried it for iOS/SwiftUI in this demo with 41 natural-sounding AI voices in 50 languages. 👇

I agree with others. I think B300s/B200s are way overprovisioned. Honestly, other people should just stop buying them, especially if you're one of my competitors.
Separately, I'm spending 7 figures on B200s. if you know anyone, can you put me in touch?

@moinnadeem I must say, Phonic is excellent. Adding it to our list of integrations. I heard similar sentiment from others that compared it with GPT Live and Grok based integrations we've done so far.

every day i think about how lucky i am to work at phonic. the word i've used to describe working here is "utopian." speaks to the caliber of our team and product
our team has been heads down building for years and I'm just so grateful for the response to Phonic-1's launch yesterday
I love my team. they built a model that's..
#1 on AA's speech-to-speech index
#1 on AA's 𝜏-Voice (agentic performance)
#1 on Sierra's τ³-Voice
#1 on Cekura's s2s benchmark
#1 on Veris's VAmoS Pro Bench
#2 on Bluejay's MIVAS s2s benchmark
we literally just dropped seven figures on a new compute cluster to support the load
we can't wait to continue pushing the frontier for our customers!! try it out and let me know what you think

ICYMI, a new speech-to-speech model from @phonic_co is topping benchmarks
✅ VAmoS Bench, @veris_ai
✅ s2s index, @ArtificialAnlys
✅ T^2-Voice, @SierraPlatform
✅ s2s, @cekuraAi
today we report the turn latency from VAmoS Bench
phonic-1 mogs the Pareto 🔥

There's two reasons why Phonic has stuck with @modal the entire time:
a) Their platform is just good. Why? They sweat the details on things like sticky routing: modal.com/blog/serverles…
b) They care. When we had issues, @dshaar_ stayed up until 2 in the morning to understand why.

Congrats to @phonic_co on the model launch. The demo is super compelling and sadly relatable given my recent struggle with hotel bookings lol.
One of my earlier (and fonder) @modal memories was staying up late on the phone with @moinnadeem to solve some infra problems together (more on that in thread). Great to see the products growing together too!

10 people! Go @phonic_co 🔥🔥
OpenAI just got beaten at voice by 10 people.
Not a lab with 1,000 researchers. 10.
Phonic-1 took #1 on the speech-to-speech benchmarks, ahead of gpt-live-1. And it's $0.06/min.
The voice agent shortlist just changed.

We won’t be the cheapest voice experience, we will be the highest quality voice experience
@moinnadeem @phonic_co @firstround @Lux_Capital @felicis Too expensive. 3 cents an hour is required to compete

Thanks for your support @TobennaA! It means a ton.
@bznotes @moinnadeemh@phonic_coWhen our previous voice vendor was getting acquired, we needed to find an alternative system asap, @moinnadeem and team moved so fa@moinnadeemressed us so much that my cofounders and I did something we rarely do - decided to not just be customers but also asked to write personal checks into the company. 🙏🏾

Even if I didn't care about deep learning, I'd be happy about this because Moin is a great guy. But this is also a very strong release on its own, let alone accomplished by a team of only ten people. Big up to the @phonic_co!

Pretty insane to see Phonic so good on the agentic performance side while also having such low latency
Phonic's Phonic 1 (High) is the new leading Speech to Speech model, debuting at #1 on the Artificial Analysis Speech to Speech Index at 87.1, while also leading on agentic performance and being competitive on latency
Phonic 1 is @phonic_co 's Speech to Speech model, available at $0.07 per minute. We evaluated Phonic 1 at its high intelligence level through the Phonic API.
Key takeaways:
➤ Speech to Speech Index: #1 of 22 at 87.1, ahead of Grok Voice 3.0 (86.9) by a very small margin. The Index averages Speech Reasoning (Big Bench Audio), Agentic Performance (Tau Voice), Arena Preference and Task Success Rate
➤ Speech Agent Arena: #8 of 30 on preference (Elo 1012) and #4 on Task Success Rate (92.3%)
➤ Tau Voice: #1 at 79.9%, a clear lead of 5.4 points over the next model
➤ Big Bench Audio: #3 at 98.9%, behind StepAudio 3 Realtime (99.7%) and Qwen Audio 3.0 Realtime Plus (99.2%)
➤ Speed: #4 on Time to First Audio at 0.61s, and the fastest of the top 5 models in the Index
➤ Cost: $4.20 per hour of input audio
Congrats to the @phonic_co team 🚀
