Krafton unveils the No. 1 Korean speech AI... speeds up implementation of "talking AI characters"

Krafton released A.X K2 Raon-Speech, a 21B voice AI foundation model, on Hugging Face.

Built with proprietary tech, it ranked No. 1 in Korean overall among public voice language models and No. 3 in English.

The model combines Krafton’s own speech encoder and codec to generate more natural responses with emotion and intonation.

Krafton plans to use it to upgrade CPC and accelerate conversational AI characters and voice-driven gameplay in games.
