I care a lot about 1) latency, and 2) good benchmarks.

The voice models from @GradiumAI occupy in the top spot on the @covaldev voice AI benchmark leaderboard, which tests both latency and accuracy.

We've made the Gradium models the default in our open source, massively multi-player, LLM game. You play the game by talking to your "ship AI."

Of course, humans aren't the only talkers in the universe, these days. So @chadbailey59 has been building OpenClaw bots that play the game, too!

Here's a video of an OpenClaw agent playing the game by talking to the agent's ship AI. Chad created specific personalities for both the OpenClaw bot and the ship AI, here. Gradium's voice models are very emotive, and they support voice cloning and customization.

I love how morose and pessimistic the ship AI is, and how excitable and cheerful the OpenClaw bot is.

This is not scripted at all. These are two voice AI agents just doing their thing.
