**[Former MiniMax Technical Partner Raises $6 Million for Voice Agent Startup]** Beating AI News Flash: Yang Bin, former technical partner at MiniMax, has founded the voice AI company BreezeBlue, which has completed a $6 million seed funding round co-led by Yuanjing Capital and Redpoint China. The team currently consists of about 15 members, focusing on real-time voice interaction, with their latest model being Breeze TTS 2. Yang Bin, who previously worked on MiniMax's image and video generation models, has now shifted his entrepreneurial focus to voice. He believes that as AI Agents take on increasingly complex tasks, it becomes difficult for humans to constantly monitor them on screens. Voice interaction allows Agents to actively report progress and confirm issues while working, and humans can intervene and correct them at any time. [Original Article Link]
