ElevenLabs debuts Eleven Realtime v1 Max and v1 Mini speech-to-speech models
ElevenLabs released two speech-to-speech models under the Eleven Realtime family: v1 Max and v1 Mini. v1 Max reportedly scores 98.8% on the Big Bench Audio benchmark with a 0.57-second response time and targets complex tasks like customer support, while the smaller v1 Mini is optimized for lower-cost, natural conversations and turn-taking detection; both are available via ElevenAgents and an OpenAI-compatible Realtime API with per-minute plus token pricing (ElevenLabs says no model on the Artificial Analysis leaderboard is currently both faster and more accurate).
