语音AI初创公司Smallest.ai宣布完成1300万美元A轮融资，由Seligman Ventures领投，Sierra Ventures和3one4 Capital参投[1]。本轮融资后，公司总融资额超过2100万美元[1]。
公司成立于2024年末[1]，由CEO兼创始人Sudarshan Kamath创办[1]。Smallest.ai致力于开发专用小型语音模型，通过实时处理实现自然流畅的AI对话[1]。Kamath表示："我们希望我们的模型能突破图灵测试。你应该能与我们的模型交谈，却无法区分它是AI还是真人"[1]。该公司的技术支持多种口音和语言，可在嘈杂环境中正常运行[1]。
目前，Smallest.ai已获得RingCentral和Truecaller等客户[1]。
Smallest.ai, a voice AI startup, has secured $13 million in Series A funding, bringing its total capital raised to over $21 million [1]. The round was led by Seligman Ventures, with participation from Sierra Ventures and 3one4 Capital [1].
Founded in late 2024, Smallest.ai develops specialized compact speech models designed to process conversations in real time with zero response latency, enabling AI interactions that sound indistinguishable from human speech [1]. The company already counts RingCentral and Truecaller among its customers [1]. CEO and founder Sudarshan Kamath articulated the company's ambition, stating: "We want our models to break the Turing test. You should speak to our model and not know it's AI or human" [1].
The platform supports multiple accents and languages while maintaining performance in noisy environments [1].
