Full Episode
Welcome to ChangeLog and Friends, a weekly talk show about WordPress drama. Big thank you to our friends over at Fly.io. Fly is a public cloud built for developers who ship. Over 3 million apps have launched on Fly, including us. Learn more at Fly.io. Okay, let's talk. What's up, friends? I'm here with a new friend of ours over at Assembly AI, founder and CEO Dylan Fox.
Dylan, tell me about Universal One. This is the newest, most powerful speech AI model to date. You released this recently. Tell me more.
So Universal One is our flagship industry leading model for speech to text and various other speech understanding tasks. So it's about a year long effort. That really is the culmination of like the years that we've spent building infrastructure and tooling at assembly to even train large scale speech AI models.
It was trained on about 12 and a half million hours of voice data, multilingual, super wide range of domains and sources of audio data. So it's super robust model.
We're seeing developers use it for extremely high accuracy, low cost, super fast speech to text and speech understanding tasks within their products, within automations, within workflows that they're building at their companies or within their products.
Very cool. So Dylan, one thing I love is this playground you have. You can go there, assemblyai.com slash playground, and you can just play around with all the things that is assembly. Is this the recommended path? Is this the try before you buy experience? Look people do?
Yeah. So our Playground is a GUI experience over the API that's free. You can just go to it on our website, assemblyai.com slash Playground. You drop in an audio file, you can talk to the Playground. And it's a way to, in a no-code environment, interact with our models, interact with our API to see what our models and what our API can do without having to write any code.
Then once you see what the models can do and you're ready to start building with the API, you can quickly transition to the API docs. start writing code start integrating our sdks into your code to start leveraging our models and all our tech via our sdks instead okay constantly updated speech am models at your fingertips well at your api fingertips that is
A good next step is to go to their playground. You can test out their models for free right there in the browser. Or you can get started with a $50 credit at assemblyai.com slash practical AI. Again, that's assemblyai.com slash practical AI.
