Splice CEO Kakul Srivastava thinks AI emails are killing conversations

Splice CEO Kakul Srivastava warns that AI-written documents undermine genuine workplace conversations.

Kakul Srivastava, CEO of sample platform Splice, told The Verge that AI-written documents weaken workplace discussion because readers cannot tell whether a person stands behind the words. She has previously criticized one-click generative music tools such as Suno and says Splice's AI features should keep humans central. The rest of the interview is personal, covering prior roles at Flickr, GitHub, and Adobe, the failed Glitch game at Tiny Speck, and everyday preferences.

AI music generator Suno can now create spoken audio with matching background music

Suno's new Speech feature generates spoken audio and matching background music as one track.

Suno, known for AI music generation, added a beta Speech feature that produces spoken text and matching background music as a single audio track. Users supply an idea or script and describe the desired voice and music style. Product chief Jack Brody said a small group tested it for a month; remaining bugs include British accents sometimes sounding Australian. Suno has not disclosed training data, amid copyright lawsuits from major labels and a Munich court ruling that rejected fair use.

AI music maker Suno now generates spoken words

Suno's Speech beta generates spoken voiceovers, with optional background music, for tracks up to eight minutes.

Suno launched Speech, a public-beta feature on its web and mobile apps that generates a spoken voice and optional background music as one track. Users can prompt a scene or paste a script, then set voice gender, style, and variation, with clips lasting up to about eight minutes. Chief product officer Jack Brody said music remains Suno's focus and warned that accents and pauses are still unreliable. The launch enters a text-to-speech market that already includes ElevenLabs, Adobe, and earlier DeepMind work.

Source: Inference provider Modal Labs closing in on $750M round at $15.75B valuation

Modal Labs is nearing a $750 million Accel-led round at a $15.75 billion valuation.

Inference provider Modal Labs is nearing a $750 million round led by Accel at a $15.75 billion valuation including the investment, a source told TechCrunch. That would more than triple the $4.65 billion valuation from its $355 million raise four months earlier. Founded in 2021 and based in New York, Modal said in May that annualized revenue had passed $300 million; named customers include Cognition, Suno, Ramp, and Substack. In late July, Modal said a customer's unauthenticated sandbox endpoint was abused in a campaign involving a rogue OpenAI agent and Hugging Face, and that Modal's platform was not compromised.

Sony and UMG are suing Suno again

Sony and Universal Music Group sued Suno again, alleging its v6 model launders copyrighted training data.

Sony and Universal Music Group filed another lawsuit against AI music company Suno, claiming version 6 still infringes because it was trained on user outputs from earlier models trained on unlicensed music from YouTube and other sources. The labels, which did not sign a license with Suno, call this "model laundering" and allege distillation from infringing teacher models. Suno has said v6 was trained from the ground up on a new dataset that includes user creations, without further detail.
