HONG KONG, June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of global leading technology company Tencent, today announced a strategic partnership with Inworld AI, a leading voice AI research lab and developer platform for real-time, human-level voice experiences.
Through the collaboration, Inworld's top-ranked text-to-speech (TTS) models will be deeply integrated with Tencent Cloud's enterprise-grade global realtime communication infrastructure. Developers can directly select Inworld TTS in the Tencent Real-Time Communication (Tencent RTC) console and SDK to build AI applications with emotionally intelligent, real-time voice experiences delivered over Tencent RTC's low-latency global network.
Tencent RTC and Inworld AI Power Enterprise-Grade Realtime Voice AI for Global Customers
Inworld AI is widely recognized for powering highly expressive voice AI — for companions, enterprise agents, interactive entertainment, and more — where emotional nuance, timing, and non-verbal cues matter as much as the words themselves. Inworld's TTS stack delivers ultra-realistic, context-aware speech and precise voice cloning with performance ranked #1 by users on the Artificial Analysis Speech Arena.
Inworld TTS delivers sub-130ms first-chunk latency, supports over 100 languages, and enables instant cross-lingual conversion within a single generation while preserving a consistent speaker voice. Developers can easily clone voices, design custom voices, control vocal style, and stream natural voice responses.
By integrating Tencent RTC technology, developers gain access to an enterprise-grade realtime communication backbone featuring more than 3,200 global nodes, sub-300ms worldwide latency. Advanced capabilities, such as AI noise suppression and weak-network resilience, ensure conversational AI applications run seamlessly across regions, especially in some markets where connectivity and latency challenges are common.
As part of this partnership, Tencent RTC and Inworld AI have jointly launched a Conversational AI Demo, showcasing the seamless integration of Inworld TTS with Tencent RTC's real-time communication infrastructure. The demo also features a curated selection of recommended voices tailored to different languages and application scenarios, allowing developers to experience them firsthand. Interested developers and enterprises can experience the demo here: https://trtc.io/demo/homepage/#/inworld
Wison Xie, Head of Tencent RTC Product at Tencent Cloud, said, "Production-grade voice AI requires both a capable model and a capable network — neither side can deliver it alone. Inworld has set a new bar for expressive, controllable TTS, and we are proud to bring those voices into Tencent RTC's global real-time communication backbone. This partnership is part of a long-term commitment to give developers a one-stop path from prototype to production, so they can focus on the experience they want to create, not the underlying infrastructure."
Kylan Gibbs, CEO at Inworld AI, said, "Tencent Cloud gives developers a powerful platform for integrating enterprise-grade conversational AI into any application. Now, with access to Inworld TTS through Tencent RTC, developers can leverage state-of-the-art tech in their full cloud stack. We're excited to partner with Tencent to push the boundaries of high-quality, broadly accessible voice AI."

Tencent Cloud and Inworld AI Announce Strategic Partnership to Deliver a One-Stop, Lifelike, Realtime Voice AI Solution

The company's revolutionary, patented bipolar electrode-to-pack technology increases the battery energy and power densities; reducing weight, volume, and cost
DALLAS, June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Solidion Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: STI), an advanced battery technology solutions provider, today unveiled their patented bipolar electrode-to-pack (BEEP) battery technology, engineered to power electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, drones, robots, AI data centers, space infrastructure and devices.
Rather than making individual cells and modules, Solidion's AI-assisted designed BEEP technology entails directly stacking and connecting bipolar electrodes and solid electrolyte layers in series and in parallel to produce a solid-state battery pack that delivers exceptional power and energy densities.
Solid-state batteries are expected to revolutionize the electric vehicle and space industries with their inherent safety, fast charging, significantly extended driving or flying range on a single battery charge. However, two major issues have prevented the wide-spread commercialization of solid-state lithium batteries:
- the difficulty and high cost of manufacturing solid-state batteries and
- the limited space and payload weight available in an EV for ground, sea, air, or space transportation to accommodate a bulky and heavy battery system. Current battery pack designs devote much of that space to fire mitigation, a large number of connectors between cells or modules, and large volumes of protective housing materials.
Solidion's BEEP technology solves both this design issue and reduces the manufacturing challenges, while contributing to reduced battery weight, volume and cost. This is accomplished owing to the BEEP pack requiring only one casing and a small number of connectors – instead of the hundreds of housings and connectors in today's batteries. The bipolar electrode stacking procedure is intrinsically simpler and easier when compared to making individual cells and using external cables to connect multiple pre-fabricated cells.
Jaymes Winters, Chief Executive Officer of Solidion Technology, stated:
"BEEP represents a fundamental rethinking of how battery packs are built. By eliminating the redundant housings, connectors, and fire mitigation systems that burden conventional designs, we've created a pathway to batteries that are lighter, smaller, safer, and less expensive to manufacture — precisely the attributes demanded by next-generation eVTOL, space, and AI infrastructure applications. We believe this technology positions Solidion at the forefront of the solid-state battery revolution."
