Realtime voice, text to speech, and speech to text are all available through the with the same routing, observability, and spend controls as your other models.xAI's audio modelsAI SDK These capabilities are available on the AI SDK 7 release. A voice agent has two pieces: a server route that mints a short-lived token, so your API key never reaches the client, and a browser component that connects with it. Add the token route: this example sets to :modelxai/grok-voic
now supports voice and audio models. You can build realtime voice agents, generate speech from text, and transcribe audio to text. This provides the same observability, spend controls, and bring-your-own-key support as text, image, and video models in AI Gateway, with no markup or platform fees. These capabilities are in beta and available via 7.AI GatewayAI SDK With realtime support, a single model takes audio in and audio out, so a user can talk and hear a reply back in near real time instead
When I first heard about NFTs, I assumed they were just randomly generated JPEG collections—mostly apes and profile pictures that became valuable because of hype. After building one on Solana, I realized an NFT is much more than an image. It's simply a token with a unique set of rules. Coming from a Web2 background, my biggest question was: What actually makes an NFT an NFT? I expected there to be a special NFT object. Instead, I learned that on Solana, an NFT is just a token configured with the
TL;DR: Your README isn't just documentation. It's your project's first user experience. A clear README helps people understand, trust, and start using your project faster. A few years ago, I thought a good project would naturally attract users if the code was solid enough. One of the turning points for me came while contributing to an open-source Python-based project. The project itself was genuinely impressive, with a well-designed codebase and useful API functionality. But when I looked at the

There's a category of bug that only exists if you type Japanese, and it keeps showing up in software built by people who don't. Same shape, different repo, over and over. After a while you stop being surprised and start being able to guess which file it's in before you open the project. The one I hit most: you're typing into a search box, the IME pops up conversion candidates, you press Enter to pick the right kanji, and instead of confirming the word the app runs the search on half-finished tex
