Reddit’s AI is turning posts into podcasts and short videos

The Verge 2 months ago 50 ● 2 sources

Reddit is testing a feature that converts some text posts into audio/video summaries with AI voices reading the main post and comments. One example is an r/boardgames post from eight years ago that was turned into a three-minute video. This changes viewing from scrolling a text thread to watching a short AI-voiced clip labeled as voiced by AI.

Launch HN: Speko (YC S26) – OpenRouter for Voice AI

speko.ai 2 months ago 48

Speko, a YC S26 startup, launched an API-based router that benchmarks and selects speech-to-text, LLM, and text-to-speech models for voice AI stacks under user constraints. It charges for the hosted router and managed keys and said that since starting its batch in late June, external usage grew about 25% per week on average. Teams can switch voice models via a dashboard/API instead of re-integrating, and Speko publishes benchmark results while opening its MIT-licensed gateway for BYOK deployments.
