Palo Alto, Calif., Jan 15, 2026 - The future of voice has arrived: Eigen AI and Boson AI join forces to power Higgs-Audio v2.5. This high-performance integration eliminates the 'robotic delay', designed to bring human-grade emotional nuance into production environments, and is available through Eigen AI Cloud Platform.
By partnering with Eigen AI, their customers not only have access to Higgs-Audio 2.5 voice model, a more lightweight model architecture that reduces the parameter count from 3 billion to 1 billion, - but also achieve the industry-leading output speeds and maximize hardware utilization via Eigen AI’s EigenInference. The EigenInference utilizes an advanced suite of acceleration techniques to deliver elite throughput and reduced latency. Coupled with EigenInference, the inference engine is designed for resilience across various infrastructures (VPC, on-prem, and edge)
“Our vision is to make communicating with machines as easy, natural, and fun as talking to a human,” says Dr. Smola, Cofounder - Boson AI. “ We’re thrilled to have our best-in-industry Higgs-Audio 2.5 voice model now deployed via Eigen AI for direct inference. We anticipate this partnership will improve the efficiency with the stability required for real-world deployment.”
Eigen AI, a leader in Artificial Efficient Intelligence (AEI), is based in Silicon Valley. Eigen AI’s mission is to deliver high-performance, production-ready AI solutions—moving from "AGI Tomorrow" to "AEI Today" (Artificial Efficient Intelligence). Eigen AI provides Eigen Loop, an end-to-end platform comprising EigenData for data synthesis, EigenTrain for post-training/RL, EigenInference for accelerated serving and reliable deployment. Eigen AI empowers organizations in regulated industries like finance, automotive, and healthcare to run elite, agentic AI with a “Triple-A” standard, Accuracy, Acceleration, and Affordability, designed to turn AI from a cost center into a high-yield asset.
“We’re always looking for the very best voice model to highlight via our EigenInference engine”, says Ryan Wang, EigenAI’s co-founder and CEO. “ Through this partnership with Boson AI, we allow our customers to deploy human-grade voice agents that are remarkably fast and cost-effective, which redefines how enterprises interact with their customers, a very exciting prospect!”
