Introducing Eleven Realtime, a new class of Speech to Speech models.
Voice agents usually make you choose between quick replies or precise answers.
Eleven Realtime gives you both. It starts talking in half a second and gets spoken reasoning questions right.
Excited about this one! New features just launched in our Video to Music API. Send in your content, get back music and sfx that match that moment.
This unlocks new ways to build with music that was not possible before. Teams building generative experiences can now match content with the right sound for each user.
Start building and let us know what you think.
s/o @tadaspetra for creating this video!
Hiring for some really exciting product roles at @ElevenLabs!
Alongside setting direction and turning big ideas into something we can ship, PMs here do whatever the product needs to succeed.
On a given week, that might mean building creative evals, setting up pricing and growth experiments, running a launch end-to-end, negotiating with a model partner, or running research so we stay close to our users.
We’re looking for PMs with strong product judgment and a high bar for quality, who are excited about building AI-native products in a space that changes every week. You’re technical enough to go deep with engineers on tradeoffs and biased toward shipping and learning fast.
You’d work with product-driven engineers who care about outcomes as much as the code, building agentic products for creators, marketers and some of the largest media and enterprise teams in the world.
Due to volume of requests, I usually can't respond to all messages, so please apply directly. elevenlabs.io/careers

ElevenLabs is officially launching in Singapore 🇸🇬
Our new Southeast Asia hub is open, and we're already working with businesses like Funding Societies and Atome.
I'm here all week. If you're interested in building with us, get in touch!
elevenlabs.io/blog/elevenlab…
One key, access to all of ElevenLabs to make your product come to life. Excited to work with more developers building in voice!
ElevenLabs is officially on OpenRouter.
You can now call 9 Text to Speech models, with up to 90+ languages, and 2 Speech to Text models with speaker labels and word-level timestamps.
All @ElevenLabs models are 50% off, only on OpenRouter, through October 19, 8am PT.
What a lineup, best stack to start building voice agents!
Really excited to share what I've been working on since I started at Anthropic. It's been an incredible team effort to bring this to life.
There's never been both a better and harder time to be a founder. So we asked founders what would help most. We heard three things: 1) tokens to build with 2) time with our team, and 3) support and connection while they get started.
Here's what's in the expanded Claude Startups program:
1. A free year of Claude Team to build your next idea
2. $1,000 in API credits
3. Up to $45K in offers from companies building with Claude (@linear, @Lovable , @ElevenLabs, @meetgranola, @hexanalytics and more)
4. Office hours with our Applied AI team
According to @karpathy
“The output format I am most bullish on is fully custom / bespoke explainer videos generated on any arbitrary topic. Use my @ElevenLabs API key for audio narration".
We'll be spending a lot more time trying to understand the outputs of language models. A few thoughts, tips & tricks:
Writing. Something I've had success with: Ask your LLM to explain something in ASD-STE100, it's a controlled language specification originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. LLMs well-versed in this language and it comes with heavy constraints on clean writing style that I often find a lot more readable. Sometimes I've tried to soften it a bit e.g. ask for "80% of the way to ASD-STE100" because the spec is quite stringent. But even better:
Diagrams / images. Instead of writing, ask your LLM to create a diagram. These can be a lot easier to process, parse, and understand. But even better:
Web pages. Ask for output "in HTML" to get a beautiful, interactive webpage. LLMs are getting really good at frontend and can create beautiful experiences, animations, etc. But even better:
Explainer videos. The output format I am most bullish on is fully custom / bespoke explainer videos generated on any arbitrary topic. Experiment with things like "Create a 3b1b style video explainer on X. Use my ElevenLabs API key for audio narration". (you'd need an API key for the latter or you can ask your LLM to find you decent free alternatives that use your local compute). This is actually starting to work!
In summary:
- As LLMs get better, they will do more and more of the legwork autonomously, and a lot more of our work will rise up the abstractions into oversight and understanding.
- Luckily, LLMs can help here too because as intelligence and code are increasingly abundant, you can ask for large, custom, discardable software artifacts (e.g. web apps, video explainers) that would have never made sense to create before. Push the boundaries here and you'll be surprised.

A couple of things that make Eleven v4 special:
- Extremely low latency (100 ms p50 TTFB for Turbo)
- By far the best voice similarity
- Outstanding quality (#1 on Artificial Analysis and on our own benchmarks)
It achieves all of this while being extremely reliable. Eleven v4 uses our new post-training stack and a surprising recent research discovery that we hope will greatly accelerate our future model development.
By the end of the year, we expect delivery of new compute that will increase our training capacity almost 10x. Very excited for what's ahead!
Congratulations to the team!
Introducing Eleven v4 and Eleven v4 Turbo, our fastest and most emotive voice models yet.
Ranked #1 by Artificial Analysis.
Eleven v4 is here! Our fastest and most expressive model, truly blown away by this one.

Meet Eliane and Alberto.
Eliane lost her voice in childhood and Alberto lost his sight at 46. The two met in São Paulo in 2024, found their own way to communicate, and ultimately fell in love.
We worked with Eliane to give her a voice that sounds like her family. For the first time in her life, she has a voice which carries her identity to communicate with the person she loves.

We opened a store where everything runs on voice.
Two weeks ago in NYC, we launched an @ElevenLabs pop-up where you could order coffee, listen to books with iconic voices, order items by talking to AI agents or even haggle for a better price :)
Where should we pop up next?
