Cartesia launched Managed Agents, a fully managed platform for building and deploying voice agents. It scored an Elo of 1115 on the Artificial Analysis Speech Agent Arena — 98 points above its predecessor Cartesia Line — with task success rate rising from 77.5% to 91.7%.

It's a cascaded system: Cartesia's own Ink speech-to-text and Sonic text-to-speech models wrap an LLM of the developer's choice (evaluated with GPT-5.5, Skylar/Daniel voices). The team says co-designing the harness tightly with their models is pushing voice-agent SOTA.
