Groq and Playai announced today’s partnership to bring Dialog, a advanced model from the text to words, to market through the high -speed inference platform in Groq.
The partnership combines Playai’s experience in Voice Ai with the infrastructure for the specialized treatment of GROQ, creating what companies claim to be one of the most text systems to natural speech and response.
“Groq provides a full and low system for automatic speech (ASR), Genai and Text-To-Tintech, all in one place,” said Ian Andrews, the chief revenue employee in GROQ, in an exclusive interview with Venturebeat. “With a dialogue now working on GroqCloud, this means that customers will not have to use many service providers for one use – GROQ is one solution.”

Groq PowerSt Arivic Voice Ai, and expanding the existence of the Middle East technology
The dialogue is noticeable to provide both the English and Arabic, as the Arabic version is the first AI voice specially designed for the Middle East. The inclusion of the Arabic language as one of the initial offers was a strategy for both companies.
Andrews told Venturebeat: “The Arabic language is the fourth most particed in the world – through partnership with Playai to present the Arabic TTS model, Groq opens a major global market and enables the broader access to AI’s fast inference,” Andrews told Venturebeat.
Companies claim that their solution addresses major shortcomings in current audio techniques, especially about natural speech patterns and response speed. According to the standard test by Podonos by the evaluation of an external party, users preferred a 10: 1 dialogue against ElevenLabs V2.5 Turbo and more than 3: 1 compared to ElevenLabs Multipalual V2.0.
“The context of innovative adaptive speech” turns the artificial intelligence conversation
What distinguishes dialogue is his sophisticated approach to context. Instead of dealing with each sound as an isolated event, the system maintains awareness of the entire conversation flow.
“We have built a new structure that we call” the context of adaptive speech “(ASC), which allows the model to use the context and the full date of the conversation.” “This means that every response is not just an independent output; it is fertilized for the appropriate abortion, the tone and the emotion that reflects the conversation flow.”
For institutions looking to implement the artificial intelligence of the conversation, the cumin – the delay between demand and response – was a continuous challenge. It seems that the Groq Language Units (LPUS) seem to provide a great advantage in this field.
“Based on the initial internal test, GROQ offers up to 140 characters per second in the Playai Dialogue style, a large boost compared to the same model that works on graphics processing units in 86 characters per second,” Andrews explained. “This means that the dialogue generates a text up to 10 times faster than the actual time.”
Groq gets a $ 1.5 billion Saudi investment to build artificial intelligence infrastructure on a global level
The partnership comes at a large expansion time for GROQ, who recently received a $ 1.5 billion commitment from Saudi Arabia to finance additional infrastructure. The company has established a DAMMAM data center, which it describes as “the largest conclusion group in the region.”
Felfel said: “The partnership with Groq was irrational. It is a leader in industry in the advanced infrastructure of the spontaneous organization.” “With TTS and agents, low cumin is the key. We have already improved dialogue for these applications in actual time, but partnership with GROQ allows us to provide the lowest cumin voice model in the market.”
The Voice AI market has witnessed a rapid growth as companies are looking to automate customer interactions while maintaining a human -like experience. Applications range from customer service and sales automation to audio processes and accessories for visual weakness.
The Foundation’s applications extend beyond cases of traditional customer service use
Andrews said: “Besides the customer service, cases of the use of other institutions include automating sales and dates, assistants on board, their personal assistants, creating audio amounts for the current content, translating the content of the English audio and video into Arabic, and increasing access to fixed content from visual impairment, and more.”
For Playai, founded by entrepreneurs from the Middle East and North Africa, the inclusion of Arabic language capabilities was particularly meaningful.
“In our capacity as the founders of the Middle East and North Africa, we know that the region is invested extensively in the capabilities of artificial intelligence and infrastructure as shown in investments such as Groq, but also the pioneering adoption of the world.” “The Arabic language is a global work language and that we grew up in speaking, so it was a natural choice as one of our basic languages.”
Companies have provided dialogue technology through the graded service model in Groqcloud, which includes free and paid options. This approach allows developers technology experience before adhering to the larger applications.
“Groqcloud offers both free and paid plans. Anyone can create an account and create a free API code,” Andrews explained. “Our paid developer is self -services, which means that anyone with a credit card can subscribe to himself.”
Since the sound becomes an increasingly important interface for artificial intelligence systems, this partnership puts two companies to take advantage of the increasing demand for natural conversation experiences and response. By facing the technical challenges of cumin and natural speech patterns, Groq and Playai may have removed large barriers to AI Voice’s dependence on institutions settings.
