Today, we’re releasing Octave: the first LLM built for text-to-speech.
🎨Design any voice with a prompt
🎬 Give acting instructions to control emotion and delivery (sarcasm, whispering, etc.)
🛠️Produce long-form content on our Creator Studio
Unlike traditional TTS that just “reads” words aloud, Octave understands how meaning affects delivery to generate emotional, human-like speech.
Turns out parenting is hard. Just when you think you’ve figured it out… surprise—your kid enters a new phase. Congrats @GoodInside launching the new app! It’s like adding a new set of tools to the parenting tool belt, helping us raise strong, confident, and resilient kids.
For the past year, I’ve been working with Dr. Becky and the fantastic team at @GoodInside on something new. It’s a completely novel approach to supporting the most difficult job that no one teaches you how to do: parenting.

Alexis Ohanian's new VC firm Seven Seven Six has closed its $150 million first fund.
