Hume AI launches Audio Decision API for answering questions about audio
Overview
Hume AI introduces the Audio Decision API, which takes raw audio and a list of questions and returns answers with confidence scores, without a transcript.
Hume says the model replaces more than 10 separate models with one call and was trained on over 10 million human judgments. Santiago says the model can answer from tone, hesitation, and laughter, clues a transcript would miss.
Elvis Saravia and Rohan Paul give the example question "Is the caller frustrated?" and say the API runs in realtime or across hours of recordings. Testing Catalog reports that in initial tests the model matched the panel's average answer 70.7% of the time, versus 56.5% for a single listener. Access is by request.
