ElevenLabs raises $500M for telco AI

ElevenLabs raises $500M for telco AI
ElevenLabs raised $500 million in Series D funding at an $11 billion valuation, led by Sequoia Capital with continued participation from Andreessen Horowitz and ICONIQ, and new backing from Lightspeed, Evantic Capital and BOND alongside existing investors. The company says it has surpassed key ARR milestones and reported strong enterprise adoption across sectors through 2025, with telecom emerging as a priority vertical as operators seek to modernize legacy IVR and contact center stacks. Conversational agents can replace keypad IVRs with natural dialogue that recognizes intent, confirms identity, retrieves context and executes actions across channels.

6G Video Coding: Ericsson, Nokia and Fraunhofer HHI Lead Next Standard

6G Video Coding: Ericsson, Nokia and Fraunhofer HHI Lead Next Standard
Ericsson, Nokia, and Fraunhofer HHI jointly demonstrated a proof‑of‑concept codec that delivers meaningfully higher compression than today’s widely deployed standards—H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, and H.266/VVC—without a notable rise in complexity. The partners emphasize energy efficiency and scalability, which are critical for battery‑powered devices, edge compute, and large streaming workloads. Their submission was positively received by the ITU‑T Video Coding Experts Group and ISO/IEC MPEG, the bodies that jointly steward the H.26x/MPEG lineage. The work is positioned as an on‑ramp to the next standardization phase, targeting readiness to support commercial deployment around 2029–2030, in step with 6G timelines.
