Audio

“The most undervalued part of this is evaluating your models. Because, like, I think, especially in things like audio. Yeah. There, when we started the benchmarks were pretty non-existent. Even today, I would say the benchmarks are not great.”

“We're, I don't think we'll touch audio for a very long time.”

“I don't think audio. Adds to that. I don't think it pushes us close to AGI. I think it is a necessary modality as you get close to AGI.”

“I think they're gonna get a lot better at audio over the next six to 12 months, especially the likes, you know, the native multimodal models, the speech-to-speech ones.”

“Audio, especially in the enterprise and in a business setting, I think is a hugely underrated domain still. Like, everyone talks about coding. It's all text. But we're talking in audio. A lot of the world's business is done via audio. A lot of services and ope…”

“We all know that the money is in the audio.”

“I think it is probably even more multimodal, multi-format. Like I would certainly expect video to continue to grow. I would certainly expect audio and not just, you know, text with some images to grow.”

“And what's very different about it is it generates audio natively at the same time it generates video.”

“For music, It's very different from text, and I think people will very sloppily look at the world of OpenAI and Anthropic and the hyperscalers and say audio is just a couple years behind, which it is, but that scale is gonna solve all these things. But unlike …”

“We also realized that certainly compared to images and text, audio was really, really far behind, and this was in 2020. And I think that's maybe even more true now, if you just look at everything that's happened in images and text in the last couple of years.”

“So I think very roughly you can think audio is like one to two years behind images and text. And so you kind of have to think today like text was in 20, 22 or something like this.”

“When we think about audio, or images, or video, they're, like, so advanced that we have the concept of color spaces, we have the concept of, like, frequency spectrums, like, you know, we figured out how ears process, like frequencies in mouse spectrum, or what…”

“The three main tasks right now are NLP, so text, right? From like information extraction, text generation, text classification. the second one is text to image and computer vision, right? So object detection, text to image, text image generation. the third o…”

“This company has an asset no one appreciates. Audio is so underappreciated, undervalued. People don't know what it can really do. I do.”

“Audio is something that can solve this problem. And this time zone is not competing with other time zones that we spend on screen. Like, there are other content formats. We can do it on the video. We have to watch the video on the screen. Like, when you consum…”

“And that's why we consume low quality content on YouTube. That's why we consume two sensors. We can consume low quality content. But in case of audio, you are listening with only one sensor. If there is a little bit noise, you will get irritated and you will l…”

“If you look at some of the larger audio kind of Players in this space. They all suck at like audio engagement on Twitter and all these. Rarely do you see, you know, really taking off video is the best way to go.”

“So audio, our understanding is, is going to be one of the largest formats over the next five, 10 years. It's just that our belief also is that right now there hasn't been, or at least when we launched Patlipi FM or when we acquired IBM, it seemed like the dema…”

“I think that if you look at audio as a full category in the U S today, it's about eighteen billion.”

“You know, you're driving to work, whatever. You can't be looking at a screen. So all audio is competing with is other audio or music, basically.”

“Acquiring customers is really hard in audio, and instead of competing with distributors and publishers who are our partners, we'd rather empower them and work with them to create a better user experience and a better distribution for them, so being behind the …”

“Audio is a product that people, once they adopt it, they don't leave it, but the initial adoption isn't as quick as You know, a YouTube video or something like that, but once you get someone, audio builds a really strong habit, as you probably know with your a…”
