Voice AI got a price war today as Murf AI took direct aim at OpenAI and ElevenLabs, while Google widened its education play with free AI subscriptions for college students. On the enterprise side, Harvey rolled out persistent memory for legal agents and Zephyr shipped a full multi-agent workspace — plus a fresh $90M seed round for a world-model startup led by a former Nvidia researcher.
Today's Top Stories
Murf AI Launches Falcon 2, Undercutting OpenAI and ElevenLabs on Price
Bengaluru-based Murf AI released Falcon 2, a text-to-speech model priced at $0.01 per generated minute — a fifth of the cost of ElevenLabs' Turbo and Flash models. The model ranks ahead of OpenAI's Realtime API on naturalness in independent Artificial Analysis benchmarks, responds in under 100ms, and supports 150+ voices across 35+ languages. Murf is eyeing a Series B later this year.
Google Gives College Students a Free Year of AI Pro
Sundar Pichai announced free 12-month access to Google AI Pro for eligible U.S. college students, plus a new Gemini Student Hub for study notebooks, flashcards, and quizzes built from lecture materials. The push comes as Google's Gemini 3.1 Pro still trails Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 on major benchmarks — making student adoption a key growth lever.
Harvey Launches Persistent Memory for Legal AI Agents
Legal AI vendor Harvey introduced Harvey II, an agent architecture that carries matter context and a lawyer's formatting preferences across tasks instead of starting cold each time. The launch pairs with Harvey Tenet, the company's first model post-trained specifically for legal reasoning. Cross-matter confidentiality safeguards remain largely unaddressed in the announcement.
Zephyr Ships The AI Platform, a Multi-Agent Team Workspace
After five months in early access, Zephyr's "The AI Platform" reached general availability — a Slack-style workspace where human teams collaborate with reusable AI "specialists" in shared channels. A provider-agnostic Model Router spans OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and self-hosted models, with paid mini-apps distributed through a built-in marketplace.
Veeda AI Raises $90M Seed for World Models
Veeda AI, led by former Nvidia researcher Sanja Fidler, raised a $90M seed round co-led by Khosla Ventures and Radical Ventures — just three months after founding. The startup is building multimodal "wo htmlrld models" to simulate physical environments, joining a crowded field that includes World Labs and Decart.ai.
