 go-to-market.\nThe tech: a high-level look at how Nuance builds one model 
 for real-time audiovisual conversation.\nWho should come:\nSeattle founder

 hang Ma (CEO) and Edward Zhang (CTO) worked side by side on applied resear
 ch at Apple\, building core technology and prototyping new experiences acr
 oss iPhone\, Vision Pro and Apple Intelligence. Fangchang holds a PhD in r
 obotics from MIT. Edward holds a PhD in graphics and vision from the Unive
 rsity of Washington. They started Nuance on a simple premise: the next lea
 p in AI won't come from what models say\, but from how they say it.\nAbout
  Nuance Labs:\nNuance Labs is a Seattle-based research lab building a foun
 dation model for audiovisual conversation: AI you can see and hear\, that 
 listens\, reacts and responds in real time. Rather than putting a face on 
 top of a text exchange\, Nuance models the full dynamics of human interact
 ion\, including timing\, backchannels\, facial expression and gaze. In Sep
 tember the company raised a $50 million Series A round led by Lightspeed\,
  with participation from Accel\, South Park Commons\, NVIDIA and Define Ve
 ntures.
