Did xAI just mass-murder the entire voice AI industry? 🤯 Grok just launched two voice APIs. Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech. Built on the same stack powering Tesla cars and Starlink support. And priced at 10x cheaper than ElevenLabs. Speech-to-Text: $0.10/hr batch. $0.20/hr streaming. Text-to-Speech: $4.20 per million characters. 25+ languages. Real-time streaming. Speaker diarization. Already outperforming ElevenLabs, Deepgram, and AssemblyAI on word error rate. TTS ships with expressive tags like [laugh], [sigh], <whisper>, <emphasis>. Voices that don't sound like robots reading a script. ElevenLabs spent years building a voice AI company. xAI built voice AI for cars and satellites.

🚨 X ROLLS OUT “XCHAT” - UNIFIED DMs + ENCRYPTED CHATS IN ONE PLACE X just pushed its biggest messaging upgrade yet: XChat, a single inbox that blends your regular DMs with fully encrypted chats. No more scattered menus. No more hunting for the “encrypted” tab. Everything lives in one clean feed - exactly how Elon’s been teasing the all-in-one X app to work. Encrypted chats now support E2E messages, media, files, and even audio/video calls - Elon calls it “Bitcoin-style encryption,” built for real privacy without breaking functionality. Old messages simply get labeled as unencrypted. Turn on encryption, set your PIN, and you’re in. Simple, not cryptic. It’s a quiet but major step toward X becoming a universal communications hub - part messenger, part phone, part file-share, part everything. What comes next? Maybe smoother cross-device syncing, more super-app features, and tighter integration as XChat becomes the backbone of the platform. And expect critics to complain while users quietly adopt it - because convenience always wins. X just made messaging feel modern again. Source: @X, @cb_doge, TechCrunch, Business Insider
