The wildest company pitch I've ever heard? 🤔. I told @katelin_cruse it's gotta be an app that allows us to communicate with babies before they can talk. or even dolphins 👶🐬. And someday, we might actually get there thanks to AI ↓

Apoorva on how to evaluate businesses as a founder:. "The things that I'm looking at are sort of threefold. Number one, is it a good business? Obvious to say as an investor, but you'd be surprised. Number two, is it going to be something I'm going to enjoy doing? I'm going to.

Tested translating an English article to Spanish and had it blindly evaluated by a professional translator. Results:.- Google Translate: 70/100.- GPT-4: 85/100.- Zeebra: 95/100 🏆. The key takeaway: Zeebra excels in capturing formality, grammatical gender, cultural references,.

This aligns with my experience in translating from English to Japanese. For instance, translating culturally specific references, such as "Hot Vax Summer," poses a significant challenge for machine translation models. 👇

Here's a quick test of OpenAI vs. Elevenlabs TTS:.- In English, Eleven sounds more animated and has studio quality (44.1kHz vs. 24kHz); however, OpenAI is also very good and would make sense for many use cases, especially given its 10x cheaper price point. - In Japanese, OpenAI

The cost of a realistic text-to-speech API (with premade voices) has decreased 10x with the launch of OpenAI's TTS service:.- OpenAI: $0.015-$0.03 per 1,000 characters.- Other startups: $0.18-$0.20 per 1,000 characters. This makes freemium/consumer apps feasible that uses TTS.
