Introducing Eleven Realtime, a new class of Speech to Speech models.
Voice agents usually make you choose between quick replies or precise answers.
Eleven Realtime gives you both. It starts talking in half a second and gets spoken reasoning questions right.

Eleven Realtime v1 mini is optimized for natural conversations at low cost.
It handles the things that make a voice agent feel human, like knowing when you’ve finished speaking, recovering when you interrupt, and not stopping when you say “mm-hmm.”
This model is great for AI assistants, educational tutors, and interactive characters.

Eleven Realtime is also available via the Realtime API. It’s OpenAI-compatible, so all you need to do is swap the endpoint and model name.
