ElevenLabs announced Realtime v1 Mini and v1 Max on October 20, describing them as speech-to-speech models designed to power voice agents. The company says both support more than 90 languages, with Mini aimed at lower-cost conversations and Max at more complex tasks. [1]

ElevenLabs says Artificial Analysis independently evaluated the models on public benchmarks. In the company’s account, Max scored 98.8% on Big Bench Audio’s spoken-reasoning questions and began speaking in an average of 0.57 seconds. These are benchmark results reported in the company’s announcement; they do not establish performance in real-world deployments. [1]
