According to monitoring by Beating, AI voice model startup Cartesia has announced the release of Sonic-3.5 and Ink-2, along with a unified real-time voice intelligence technology stack composed of the two models. Sonic-3.5 is responsible for text-to-speech (TTS), while Ink-2 handles speech-to-text (STT). Sonic-3.5 focuses on real-time low-latency voice generation, reducing the first sound output time to 90 milliseconds. It supports 42 languages out of the box and can pronounce English homographs and alphanumeric terms without preprocessing. The word error rate (WER) of Ink-2 has been reduced to 3.6%, and it introduces native turn-detection and noise processing mechanisms, allowing it to determine whether a user has finished speaking based on sentence meaning and semantic understanding, rather than relying solely on traditional silence duration. Currently, Ink-2 is available only in English, with multilingual versions to be released later. Developers can call both models simultaneously through a single API. Sonic-3.5 and Ink-2 are designed for bidirectional streaming collaboration to reduce transmission delays and system losses caused by 'multi-vendor stitching'.

On June 16, Ventuals announced its official closure and integration into another team within the Hyperliquid ecosystem, marking the end of its 'all-weather on-chain private market' experiment. According to data from BlockBeats, based on DeFiLlama's metrics, Ventuals generated only $124,651 in revenue, while the costs for ticker registration and auctions reached $383,242 (equivalent to 15,031 HYPE), resulting in a net loss of $258,591. Revenue only covered 32.5% of the ticker costs, which were approximately 3.1 times the revenue. If we further account for hidden expenses such as team salaries, market making, and front-end operations, the actual loss would be even greater, with a core conclusion indicating a loss of about $259,000. It is noteworthy that the 500,000 HYPE principal raised through vHYPE crowdfunding and its appreciation are not included in the platform's profits, as holders can redeem HYPE at a 1:1 ratio and earn on-chain staking rewards, thus it cannot be considered a source of platform profitability. In terms of operational results, Ventuals was active for about seven months, achieving over 500,000 HYPE in financing and approximately $650 million in trading volume. The platform aimed to allow users to trade risk exposure to private tech companies like OpenAI and Anthropic before their IPOs. The closure announcement indicated that the final settlement price for the OpenAI market was $1,341.80, and for Anthropic, it was $1,618.90. Trading in commodity and index markets (MAG7, semiconductors, energy, defense, etc.) will cease in batches starting June 18. vHYPE holders can redeem their staked assets and on-chain staking rewards at a 1:1 ratio, with the withdrawal process to be handled in batches starting June 19, taking approximately 7 to 72 hours. Ventuals also confirmed the termination of its points and referral program and clarified that it will not issue tokens. All users must complete fund withdrawals and wallet exports by September 15.
