EVI 3: Understand and generate any voice

EVI 3 is a new speech-language model made by Hume. It is built to add more expressiveness, realism, and emotional understanding to voice AI. Unlike older models, EVI 3 can speak with any voice and personality. This makes it very versatile and personalized. This model listens to user speech and creates natural, expressive speech and language responses. This ensures high-quality talks at normal conversation speeds. EVI 3 offers several key benefits. It can quickly make new voices and personalities. This lets users talk to many custom voices. Each voice has a personality, so EVI 3 can respond with many emotions or styles, either on its own or when asked. This model also talks to reasoning models and web search systems. This lets it think and respond smartly in real-time. EVI 3''s ability to understand and change emotional tones and speaking styles makes it special in conversational AI. EVI 3 can be used in many places where natural and expressive voice talks are important. It is great for customer service chatbots, virtual assistants, and any AI-driven platform that needs human-like conversations. For example, EVI 3 can make customer support systems better by giving empathetic and expressive responses. This makes talks more engaging and satisfying. It can also be used in educational tools, entertainment, and any place where personalized voice talks are helpful. In tests with other leading models like OpenAI''s GPT-4o, EVI 3 was rated higher in empathy, expressiveness, naturalness, interruption quality, response speed, and audio quality. People in the tests found EVI 3 to be better at changing emotional tones and speaking styles during real-time talks. This model''s ability to understand and respond to the user''s tone of voice was also praised, making it a top choice for advanced voice AI talks. EVI 3''s creation involved new research on speech-language models. Hume''s team used a special training method to teach the model to capture the full range of human voices and speaking styles. This model''s streaming approach ensures it can respond at normal conversation speeds, making talks smooth and natural. EVI 3''s voice-to-voice token generation mechanics allow it to process both text and voice tokens. This enables advanced search, reasoning, and tool use.
