Services: ElevenLabs Suno
Suno's new Speech feature, now in open beta for web and mobile, generates spoken narration and original background music together as a single cohesive audio track from a short text prompt.
ElevenLabs completed a $300 million employee tender offer led by Wellington and T. Rowe Price that values the company at $22 billion, double its February Series D, on the back of tripling weekly agent conversations and fast-growing enterprise demand.
ElevenLabs introduced Eleven v4 and a low-latency Eleven v4 Turbo variant, adding inline emotion tags, more natural multi-speaker dialogue, 10-second instant voice cloning, and support for 90+ languages across ElevenAgents, ElevenCreative, and the API.
ElevenLabs removed Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro from its Image & Video model picker as OpenAI discontinues the Sora API, and set a November 11 shutdown date for ByteDance's Seedance 1.5 Pro.
ElevenLabs' September 21 changelog gives ElevenAgents parallel tool execution within a single turn, Slack channel alerting alongside PagerDuty and webhooks, and gpt-6-astra as a selectable agent LLM.
Suno updated Studio with faster, more accurate MIDI-to-audio transcription, chat-prompted stem creation from MIDI clips, and a new clip-renaming feature.
ElevenAgents introduced Reception, a voice-AI receptionist that answers business phone lines 24/7, books appointments against real calendars, and requires no technical setup.
ElevenLabs expanded its Model Context Protocol server from agent management to full creative generation, letting Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP clients produce voiceovers, music, images, and lipsynced video without leaving the chat.
ElevenLabs rolled out Music v2.5 as the new default model for prompted and reference generation, citing higher audio quality and a blind-test preference edge across nearly 48,000 sample pairs.
