Amazing to have Modulate 's work with our wonderful client Gun Raiders featured by the The Wall Street Journal. AI isn't "the answer", but a crucial piece of the anti-toxicity puzzle, and we hope these stories help folks understand how to make the most of these tools! wsj.com/articles/ai-bo…

ChatGPT for voice? It's possible -- but is it what you really want? Modulate is a leading AI tech company in voice analytics, and we do more for understanding real human speech than any LLM can do today. Stay tuned for an exciting announcement next week 👀

Humans catch high-quality deepfakes 1 in 4 times. Basically a coin flip. Have you ever fallen for a fake? 💬 Spill the beans.

A finance employee joined a Zoom call with his CFO and senior team. He saw them. Heard them. Trusted them. He wired $25M. Every person on that call was a deepfake. This isn’t the future. It’s already happening. 🧵↓

🎛️ Detecting deepfakes isn’t about hours of audio. It’s about seconds that reveal inconsistencies. A 4-second clip can tell you more than a 4-minute sample ever could. How much of that could your team be missing?

Most deepfake detectors fail 75% of the time on high-quality fakes. Why? Because they were trained on yesterday’s threats. We’re building for today’s AI - and tomorrow’s.

deepfakes are getting faster, cheaper, and harder to catch - especially in real time. proud of what we’ve built at Modulate to change that. #1 on Hugging Face - and designed for the moments that actually matter. Check it out 👇

this is the pattern we’re going to see everywhere: phase 1: “wow it runs itself” phase 2: “wait why is it doing that” phase 3: add constraints, memory, and oversight until it resembles… a well-instrumented system agents aren’t magic. they’re just very fast optimizers with

Everyone wants a bigger model. That’s the wrong direction. We keep getting asked how Modulate compares to LLMs like ChatGPT. Honest answer: we’re solving a different problem. For real-world business use, one giant “black box” model creates more problems than it solves: –

Deepfakes are getting cheaper to create. Detection shouldn’t be 100x more expensive. We just flipped the equation. Stop deepfakes for $0.25/hr - now at cost parity with creation ⚖️
