Cons
  • Primarily for developers, not end users

  • Advanced features aimed at enterprise scale
  • Self-hosting requires infrastructure
  • Voice realism varies by model tier
  • Newer and less battle-tested than global incumbents for general tasks
  • Per-token pricing has reportedly changed, so costs need re-checking

  • No consumer mobile app or browser extension
  • English/global-benchmark performance is not its focus or selling point
