Have real-time voice conversations with AI avatars of famous personalities
Speak your question naturally and hear the avatar answer aloud in its own character voice, with low-latency turn-taking designed to feel conversational.
Choose from personalities spanning historical figures, coaches, fictional characters, and animals, each with a unique voice and persona.
Switch to a general-purpose voice assistant avatar for open-ended questions when you don't need a themed personality.
The plan includes a set number of talk minutes per month that you can spend across any avatars you like.
High-efficiency open-weight and hosted reasoning AI powered by DeepSeek-V4 and R1 at ultra-low token costs.
Leverages a sparse Mixture-of-Experts architecture (49B active parameters out of 1.6T on V4-Pro) to process up to 1 million tokens with minimal latency and memory overhead.
Pioneered by DeepSeek-R1 and integrated into V3.2 and V4 thinking modes, exposing step-by-step self-verification for complex math, logic, and code debugging.
Drops input token costs to $0.003/1M on Flash and $0.022/1M on V4-Pro for cache hits, with 50% lower rates during off-peak UTC hours.
