Gradium Tops Voice Arena TTS Latency Benchmarks With 231ms Time-to-First-Audio
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-09-09
Voice Arena has published measured TTS latency results across 10 models — notable because the benchmark independently measures every model and publishes raw numbers, unlike self-reported scores.
Key results:
- Gradium ranked #1 with a p50 time-to-first-audio of just 231ms, the fastest of all tested models
- It also showed the tightest spread across p25/p50/p75, indicating the most consistent latency
The Gradium team notes TTFA is typically the first metric developers measure when evaluating voice models, making this result practically relevant for model selection.
