Invincible Voice: How Gradium's Real-Time Voice AI Helps ALS Patients Speak Again
At Gradium, we build real-time voice AI technology designed for real-world impact. Today, we're proud to announce our partnership powering Invincible Voice, an open-source assistive voice AI system led by Kyutai that's transforming communication for people with speech loss.
Assistive Voice AI: Restoring Communication for People with ALS and Speech Loss
Invincible Voice is an assistive voice AI system designed for people who are losing or have lost their ability to speak, including individuals affected by ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a progressive neurodegenerative disease), stroke, or other conditions. It enables users to communicate in real time by seamlessly combining speech recognition, natural language understanding, and voice synthesis into a single, fluid pipeline.
The system is modular, open source (github repo), and built to adapt to each user's unique needs and voice, making assistive communication technology more accessible and personalized.
Real-Time Voice AI Technology: Low-Latency Speech Synthesis and Recognition
Created by the original Kyutai co-founders, Gradium provides the core voice AI API and models that power Invincible Voice. Our real-time voice AI technology enables:
- Real-time speech transcription with industry-leading accuracy for assistive communication
- Natural language understanding (NLU) that captures context and intent
- High-quality voice generation and text-to-speech synthesis that preserves personality and expressiveness
- Low-latency performance for natural, flowing conversation (critical for assistive technology)
- Production-grade reliability and scalable voice AI API for daily, real-world use
This partnership brings together AI research excellence and deployable voice AI infrastructure. Kyutai leads the scientific vision and innovation. Gradium transforms that research into scalable, reliable voice AI API technology that works when it matters most.
Open-Source Voice AI: Transparent and Accessible Technology
Invincible Voice reflects our shared commitment to openness and responsibility in AI development. The project is open-source from the ground up: transparent, auditable, and built to be continuously improved by researchers, developers, and the AI community. At Gradium, we are excited to power the platform with our API.
We believe assistive technology should be accessible, not proprietary. Open development ensures the tools people depend on remain in their hands, while benefiting from the best models.
Human-Centered AI: Building Voice Technology for Real Impact
We're proud to support a project that demonstrates what voice AI can achieve when it's built with human dignity at its core. Not just to optimize products or metrics, but to restore communication, preserve identity, and maintain human connection.
Invincible Voice represents the future we're building at Gradium: AI technology that serves real human needs, deployed with care, and shared openly with the world.
