AI overview

Hume AI has released the Audio Decision API, which can directly ask questions about audio clips and return the probability of each custom answer without the need for transcription first. The API incorporates sighs, laughter, hesitation, overlapping speech, and background sounds into the model input, and can process in real time or analyze hours of recordings; the company says work that previously required more than 10 models can now be done with a single call. Rohan Paul relayed that one can ask "Is this caller angry?" and get a direct answer with a confidence score. Testing Catalog reported that in preliminary tests, the model's agreement rate with the review panel's average answer was 70.7%, compared with 56.5% for a single human listener.

    Hume AI releases the Hume Decision API, using an audio-native model to answer questions about recordings

    Hume AI launches the Hume Decision API, an audio-native model that can directly analyze the recording itself to answer questions about the recording. Users can customize questions and options, for example, determining whether a caller appears frustrated, and obtain an estimate of how human listeners would answer. In preliminary tests, the model's agreement rate with the review panel's average answers was 70.7%, compared with 56.5% for an individual human listener.

    Hume launches Audio Decision API, answering emotion and speaker questions directly from audio

    Hume AI has released the Audio Decision API, which can answer questions directly about audio clips without prior transcription and returns a probability for each custom answer. The API incorporates sighs, laughter, hesitation, overlapping speech, and background sounds into the model input, and can process in real time or analyze hours of recordings; the company says work that previously required more than 10 models can now be done in a single call. Rohan Paul relays that one can ask "Is this caller angry?" and get a direct answer with a confidence level, and sarcastic tone will not be misjudged as positive emotion.
