AssemblyAI plans to launch a universal speech model
AssemblyAI recently secured $50 million in funding, led by Accel, bringing its total capital raised to $115 million. The company aims to provide advanced and user-friendly speech-focused AI models, with plans to launch a "universal speech model" later this year and expand its workforce by 50% to 75%.
AssemblyAI's CEO, Dylan Fox, envisions creating cutting-edge AI models accessible through a simple API, allowing developers and product teams to focus on building vertical applications and workflows. With substantial funding and growing demand, AssemblyAI is poised to play a significant role in the evolving AI landscape.
