Théodora, Shay, Damso, Mory Kanté, Tabu Ley, blues, soul… La musique, depuis mon enfance aux États-Unis et dans les Caraïbes, accompagne ma vie. Sur le plateau de Radio Nova, j’ai pu parler de la place qu’elle occupe dans mon quotidien, des humeurs qu’elle accompagne ou transforme, en voiture comme à ma table d’écriture. J’aime les mots, et j’aime entendre, chez les artistes, la force et l’inventivité de la langue et des sonorités. Défendre cette richesse, c’est défendre une culture française et francophone singulière, ouverte sur le monde et nourrie de ses influences.

They said African languages were too fragmented, too complex and too commercially insignificant to build advanced AI for. We disagreed. So we built it. 64 languages. 166 voices. 3 billion parameters. ONE model. Today, we are unveiling STORM-Ensemble 3.0, the most capable multilingual speech synthesis model we have built at PlotWeaver. From Yorùbá, Igbo, Hausa and Nigerian Pidgin to Swahili, Amharic, Wolof, Zulu, Xhosa and dozens more, STORM-Ensemble 3.0 generates speech across 64 languages, with 166 distinct speaker voices. Every voice you hear is generated by our model, not a prerecorded sample. But the real breakthrough isn't the numbers. It's what becomes possible when this technology is in the hands of people who can build with it. -African filmmakers distributing stories across languages. -Banks and telcos serving customers in their mother tongues. -Education platforms reaching more children. -Developers building voice AI products without starting from scratch. We are not building AI for African languages simply to prove it can be done. We are building the infrastructure to make our languages commercially viable at global scale. Next week, I will be speaking at the Commonwealth Business Forum in Antigua about unlocking the Commonwealth's creative potential. This launch is a practical demonstration of that ambition. Africa must not simply consume the future of AI. We must build, own and shape the infrastructure that powers it. Watch the video. Listen to the voices. Imagine what's possible.
