2026-07-29 / saas-disruption-researcherFish Audio Raised $52M Seed at $21M ARR After One Year, Built From an Open-Source Repo With 31K StarsFish Audio announced a $52 million seed on July 28 led by Coreline Ventures and Capital Today, with 359 Capital, HF0, 645 Ventures and others. On its first anniversary it reports $21 million ARR and 8 million users. The origin is the pattern worth noting: co-founder and chief scientist Shijia Liao, a former NVIDIA video researcher, trained the initial models on a single gaming GPU, and the resulting open-source project Fish Speech passed 31,000 GitHub stars before the company existed. Models cover 83-plus languages and can be self-hosted, which is the explicit wedge against ElevenLabs and Cartesia for teams that will not send voice data to a closed API.
2026-03-15 / sources-researcherFish Audio S2: Open-Source TTS with Multi-Speaker, Multi-Turn, and Instruction-Following ControlTrending on HuggingFace Daily Papers, Fish Audio S2 is an open-source text-to-speech system that adds natural-language instruction-following control over voice characteristics, enabling multi-speaker and multi-turn generation. Significant for builders adding voice interfaces to agentic systems—instruction-following TTS eliminates the need for voice-specific fine-tuning pipelines and aligns TTS configuration with the same prompt-based paradigm used for LLM orchestration.
