App: language-learning-t8v2.onrender.com Code: github.com/inworld-ai/lan…

With Inworld's TTS-2 launch yesterday, we now support a ton more languages. I was able to update my language learning app to support Swedish, which I'm starting to learn 🇸🇪 App is free for now if you want to try it out.

I made infinite Jeopardy: bighead.onrender.com Anyone want to play?

coding in 2026 still has its moments of satisfaction

.@inworld_ai launched our new TTS model today! We've made some big improvements in latency, emotionality, and stability, and also added phoneme alignment to support lip sync. Here's a cheeky all-CSS lip sync demo. Does it look like me? github.com/cshape/lipsync

@TechByMarkandey @inworld_ai We have a normalization service which can help with those tricky things you mentioned (plus addresses, dates, etc.). Additionally, we support custom pronunciation for bulletproof pronunciation of important out-of-dictionary words youtube.com/watch?v=IUmwEo…

@inworld_ai How does the system handle proper nouns, acronyms, and rare phonetic patterns?

Inworld TTS-1.5 releases today. The #1 TTS on Artificial Analysis now offers realtime latency under 250ms and optimized expression and stability for user engagement, and costs half a cent per minute. Some voice models are fast, some are expressive, some are affordable. We outperform them all across the board. Production-grade realtime latency: <250ms latency for Max model, <130ms for Mini (P90 first audio) - 4x faster than before. Voice agents now respond before users notice any delay. Engagement-optimized quality: 30% more expressive to serve a wider range of personalities and 40% lower word error rates for fewer hallucinations, word cutoffs, and audio artifacts. Built for consumer-scale: Radically affordable with enhanced multilingual support (15 languages including Hindi) and enhanced voice cloning, now via API. On-prem options now available for enterprises.

@rohanpaul_ai @inworld_ai Thanks! Our on-prem deployment is ready - shoot me a DM or contact us through inworld.ai to get started.

@inworld_ai Fantastic. Congrats on the launch. Is the on-prem deployment available immediately, or is there a waitlist?

. @inworld_ai Runtime and TTS are optimized for realtime, but people have been asking about how to create stuff like audiobooks or long article narration. I created some scripts in Python and JS to help: github.com/inworld-ai/inw… Note: Inworld TTS is still FREE til Dec 31!

This example / demo with @inworld_ai is probably the most fun I've ever had building one. Tabletop-like w/ skill checks, combat, gearing, barter system, XP, all AI generated in realtime. Kept wanting to add more—scope def creeped a lot. Code + key decisions below ...

We're making Inworld TTS free until the end of the year (!) We were feeling in the holiday spirit today, and after seeing the community rate our TTS at #1 on leaderboards and help us grow 100% week on week, we wanted to gift something and give every builder the chance to try what's topping the benchmarks. Merry Christmas, Happy holidays. Inworld TTS is free this month. Look out next week: we're going to redefine what #1 means.

@rpgjs_dev In 2023, I used @rpgjs_dev for an @inworld_ai hackathon project where we made a survivor game with AI players. Looking forward to trying out the new version!

📢 RPGJS Studio is now public — no whitelist! Anyone can jump in, build maps & scenarios, and use pre-made assets. Free users can’t purchase AI credits yet, but can still explore & experiment. 🔗 Article: rpgjs.dev/blog/release-p…

After leaning on LLMs pretty hard to code efficiently at work, it's refreshing to work through Advent of Code in a vibeless fashion. Bless you, Eric Wastl.

We just made state-of-the-art TTS 20x more affordable. $5 per million characters. And we're open sourcing the training and modeling code (built on Llama). Because scaling voice AI shouldn't break your budget. Technical Details → Inworld.ai/blog/introduci… Why and how we did it 🧵

@VVNKer @venturetwins People are working on it! mobile-aloha.github.io

@venturetwins I really like how AI’s singular purpose has been to make our lives worse. It’s never used to, like, clean up the environment or anything. It just makes it easier for creepy men to disguise themselves or easier for nonces to generate content or easier for artists to lose work.

it’s so over

@MetaMaskSupport thanks for your hard work!

@ViewFromTheQ no wait at 1130!

sometimes css is the simplest solution

@AndreiNeagoie Planning on getting through this course in 2020. One of my favourite teachers :)

Machine Learning and Data Science course should be out tomorrow if all things go well!!🤖 In the meantime, here are my favourite top 10 developer articles from 2019. Enjoy! zerotomastery.io/blog/top-10-pr…

If you're thinking of joining a bootcamp, please DM me. I taught myself in 2018-2019 and could give you some tips to save time and money.
