Google WaveNet
by Google / DeepMind · paid · Last verified 2026-03-17
Google WaveNet is DeepMind's pioneering generative model for raw audio waveforms that dramatically advanced the state of the art in text-to-speech naturalness when published in 2016 and continues to power Google Assistant, Google Cloud TTS, and various Google products at massive scale. Its autoregressive waveform generation approach established the template for neural vocoder research and inspired a generation of TTS architectures.
