Google's Chirp 3 enhances voice capabilities in AI

Google has announced the addition of its HD voice model, Chirp 3, to the Vertex AI platform, starting next week. This model will feature eight new voices in 31 languages, aimed at applications like voice assistants and audiobooks. Chirp 3 will have usage restrictions to prevent misuse, as confirmed by Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian. This development comes as other companies, like Sesame, also advance their voice AI technologies. Vertex AI, launched in 2021, allows developers to create machine learning services. Google is enhancing this platform to compete with Microsoft and Amazon in the generative AI space.
