Paris-based voice AI startup Gradium emerged from stealth with a $70M seed round, setting a new record for the European voice AI sector. Spun out of the non-profit Kyutai lab, Gradium offers production-ready speech-to-text and text-to-speech models with ultra-low latency and multilingual support for English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German. This substantial investment and focus on European languages signals a significant push towards developing sovereign AI infrastructure and challenging US-centric AI dominance.
