Read the full description
Eleven Realtime is ElevenLabs’ new family of speech-to-speech models for voice agents. Speech recognition, turn-taking, the LLM and the voice are tuned end-to-end. v1 Mini is built for natural conversation, v1 Max for complex tasks, with 620ms and 570ms to first audio. It supports 90+ languages and works in ElevenAgents or through an OpenAI-compatible Realtime API, so you only change the endpoint and model name.

No The product is a family of speech-to-speech models tuned end-to-end for low latency, which means model research and training at scale rather than application code.
What it would actually take: Building a comparable product means training or fine-tuning a speech-to-speech model that jointly handles ASR, turn-taking, LLM reasoning and voice synthesis, with streaming inference at around 500ms latency. That requires large licensed speech corpora, GPU training clusters, and ML researchers experienced in speech and real-time serving. Wrapping existing ASR, LLM and TTS APIs in a voice agent is feasible, but it would not match the integrated latency or quality.
