Resemble AI has released Chatterbox, a free open-source voice cloning model that runs locally and supports emotional tone control like "dramatic" or "monotone." It clones voices using just a few seconds of audio and responds in under 200 milliseconds. The tool works on Windows, Mac, and Linux with 5–6 GB of video memory. All generated speech includes a faint watermark, "PerTh," to identify it as AI-made. According to Resemble AI, it performed better than ElevenLabs in blind tests. Currently, it only supports English.

A new website called "The OpenAI Files" launched on June 18, 2025, compiles internal documents and criticism of OpenAI's leadership, strategy, and corporate culture. It raises concerns about whether the company is moving away from its original non-profit goals to serve investor interests. The platform includes reports from former staff, analyses of restructuring plans, and scrutiny of CEO Sam Altman's role. The groups Tech Oversight and The Midas Project of the site say the goal is to spark public discussion about transparency, safety, and oversight in OpenAI's development of powerful AI systems.

OpenAI has launched "ChatGPT Record", a feature in the macOS desktop app that lets Pro, Team, Enterprise, and Edu users record, transcribe, and summarize audio. Each session allows up to 120 minutes, with recordings automatically turned into structured summaries. OpenAI says the tool works best in English, deletes audio after transcription, and does not use it for training. Enterprise and Edu users can access the feature through the Compliance API. The feature was introduced in early June.

Bloomberg reports that Elon Musk's AI startup xAI is currently burning through about $1 billion every month. The main drivers are steep infrastructure and chip costs for building its Grok chatbot. According to Bloomberg's sources, xAI expects to lose $13 billion in 2025 while bringing in just $500 million in revenue. The company is aiming for profitability by 2027. To keep operations running, xAI is planning a $4.3 billion capital raise and is also seeking $5 billion in debt. In total, the company wants to bring in $9.3 billion, with more than half of that expected to be spent within the next three months. At the start of the year, xAI still had about $4 billion in cash. Compared to competitors like OpenAI, which expects around $12.7 billion in revenue for 2025, xAI is lagging far behind in monetization.
