Google AI Launches Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS: A New Benchmark in Expressive and Controllable AI Voice

Google has introduced Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS, a preview text-to-speech model focused on improving speech quality, expressive control, and multilingual generation. Unlike previous iterations that prioritized simple conversion, this release emphasizes natural-language audio tags, native support for more than 70 languages, and native multi-speaker dialogue. This release signals a shift from ‘black-box’ audio generation toward […]

TinyFish AI Releases Full Web Infrastructure Platform for AI Agents: Search, Fetch, Browser, and Agent Under One API Key

AI agents struggle with tasks that require interacting with the live web — fetching a competitor’s pricing page, extracting structured data from a JavaScript-heavy dashboard, or automating a multi-step workflow on a real site. The tooling has been fragmented, requiring teams to stitch together separate providers for search, browser automation, and content retrieval. TinyFish, a

NVIDIA and the University of Maryland Researchers Released Audio Flamingo Next (AF-Next): A Super Powerful and Open Large Audio-Language Model

Understanding audio has always been the multimodal frontier that lags behind vision. While image-language models have rapidly scaled toward real-world deployment, building open models that robustly reason over speech, environmental sounds, and music — especially at length — has remained quite hard. NVIDIA and the University of Maryland researchers are now taking a direct swing

Google AI Research Proposes Vantage: An LLM-Based Protocol for Measuring Collaboration, Creativity, and Critical Thinking

Standardized tests can tell you whether a student knows calculus or can parse a passage of text. What they cannot reliably tell you is whether that student can resolve a disagreement with a teammate, generate genuinely original ideas under pressure, or critically dismantle a flawed argument. These are the so-called durable skills — collaboration, creativity,
