From October 24th through October 26th, 2025, Boson AI hosted its first large-scale Higgs Audio Hackathon in partnership with the Master of Science in Applied Computing (MScAC) program at the University of Toronto. With the recent release of our open-sourced Higgs Audio 2 text-to-speech (TTS) and automatic speech recognition (ASR) models, we opened the doors to over 200 innovators and developers, eager to explore, build, and most importantly, break our models.

Announcing Version 2 of Higgs Audio Generation, our latest advancement in audio generation technology with enhanced multi-speaker and dialog capabilities. Now open source.

Since the release of Higgs-Llama-v2, we have received much positive feedback from the community. While we are amazed by the community's creativity in utilizing our model, we realize the importance of providing an automated benchmark to effectively evaluate large language model (LLM)'s roleplaying capability.

At Boson AI, we are working on intelligent agents that can serve as human companions and helpers. Today we are excited to share Higgs-Llama-3-70B-v2, a new model that significantly improves upon its predecessor. It narrows the gap to the very best proprietary models on benchmarks relevant for dialog interaction and understanding.

Since founding Boson AI in 2023, we have dedicated ourselves to empower enterprises with AI technologies, with a mission to transform how stories are told, knowledge is learned, and insights are gathered. We helped customers build intelligent agents to interact with their users by playing various roles, including game characters, language tutors, insurance agents and financial advisors.
