A billion-parameter voice AI is now open source 😳

Sesame AI dropped CSM-1B - the billion-parameter engine powering the viral assistant Maya.

Sesame AI dropped CSM-1B - the billion-parameter engine powering the viral assistant Maya.

This isn't your typical tech release:

• 1 billion parameters
• Hollywood-level realism
• Instant use - zero fine-tuning
• Completely FREE for commercial use

No paywalls. No permissions. Apache 2.0 license.

In simple terms:

Every startup just got handed the keys to Google's and Meta’s top-secret voice tech.

Just think about it:

→ AI phone reps indistinguishable from humans. → Personalized assistants for every creator. → Indie devs going head-to-head with ElevenLabs - with zero budget.

Sesame just said:

“Here’s the model. Build whatever you want.”

No APIs. No subscription traps. No corporate gatekeepers.

Voice is the next frontier - and now it's FREE for all.
