Why it matters
Voice agents fail when they misread the identifiers needed to finish a call. Gradium is moving that normalization work into the model and using customer failures to train the next production release.
Gradium, the voice AI developer led by co-founder and CEO Neil Zeghidour (@neilzegh), opened a public beta on July 30th for a text-to-speech model designed to pronounce the strings that routinely break voice agents, including phone numbers, email addresses, IBANs and time expressions. Gradium announced the release in a post on X and made the model available through its API under the name gradium-tts-beta.
