Bringing Human Emotion to AI Voice – at the Speed of Innovation
Every day, billions of people hear voices that aren’t human, yet sound like they could be. Behind this revolution in generative voice lies Resemble AI, a pioneering company building ultra-realistic text-to-speech models in 23 languages. From movie studios to gaming platforms to AI agents that interact in real time, Resemble AI helps creators and enterprises bring lifelike voice to digital experiences.
As CEO and Co-founder, Zoho EMTT explains, “Roughly 60% of the internet’s content today is generated by AI, and that’s expected to reach 90% by the end of 2026. We’re not only creating AI voices—we’re also building technology that can tell if content is human or AI-made.”
The Challenge: Turning Massive Voice Datasets into Market-Ready AI Models
Training frontier AI models in voice requires enormous computational power and massive data throughput. Resemble AI’s datasets span hundreds of terabytes and are processed across multi-GPU systems for distributed training.
Yet, before adopting Google Cloud Managed Lustre, built by DDN’s data intelligence technology, Resemble’s GPU clusters were severely underutilized—running at only 30–40% efficiency due to I/O bottlenecks. It could take three days just to prepare infrastructure before meaningful training could begin.
For a fast-scaling AI innovator, that kind of delay meant losing valuable time in a race where speed equals competitive advantage.
The Solution: Google Cloud Managed Lustre with DDN – Unleashing 100% GPU Utilization
With DDN first-party Google Cloud Managed Lustre, Resemble AI transformed its data pipeline. Now, the company’s GPUs run at full 100% utilization, with no idle cycles waiting on data.
“With Managed Lustre, we’re able to achieve 100% GPU utilization. The GPUs are no longer bottlenecked on read speeds, and we can get models to market much faster,” said EMTT.
That increase in efficiency has enabled Resemble AI to accelerate model development, shorten iteration cycles, and rapidly bring next-generation generative voice solutions to market.
The Outcome: Infinite Scalability, Zero Compromise
Beyond raw performance, Resemble AI now enjoys the flexibility to scale seamlessly — expanding from 200 TB to 500 TB of storage in moments, without downtime or reconfiguration.
By uniting Google Cloud’s AI infrastructure and DDN’s intelligent data platform, Resemble AI gained the ability to move at the speed of its imagination — training more sophisticated models, faster than ever before.
