Hugging Face launches FastRTC to simplify real-time AI voice and video apps


Hugging Face's new FastRTC library enables Python developers to build real-time voice and video AI applications in just a few lines of code, removing a major technical barrier as voice AI investments surge.

Despite being essential for modern voice assistants and video tools, implementing WebRTC has remained a specialized skill set that most machine learning engineers simply don’t possess. Voice AI has attracted enormous attention and capital – ElevenLabs recently secured$180 million in funding, while companies like Kyutai, Alibaba, and Fixie.ai have all released specialized audio models. The most sophisticated AI systems today can process and generate text, images, audio, and video — but deploying these capabilities in responsive, real-time applications has remained challenging.
