Show Notes
For years, AI has been forced to "read" speech through inaccurate text transcriptions, losing the nuance of tone, emotion, and environment. This episode explores the shift to native multimodality with Google’s Gemini 1.5 Flash, a model that processes raw audio waveforms directly. We break down the technical breakthroughs of the "Audio Haystack" test, the massive million-token context window, and how $0.15 can now buy hours of forensic-level audio insights.
