OpenAI provides specialized models for speech-to-text and text-to-speech conversion, recognized for their performance and cost-efficiency. Spring AI integrates these capabilities via Voice-to-Text and Text-to-Speech (TTS).

The new Audio Generation feature (gpt-4o-audio-preview) goes further, enabling mixed input and output modalities. Audio inputs can contain richer data than text alone. Audio can convey nuanced information like tone and inflection, and together with the audio outputs it enables asynchronous speech-to-speech interactions. Additionally, this new multimodality opens up possibilities for innovative applications, such as structured data extraction.

The 2024.1 release enhances your ability to extend a repository with custom functionality making it easier than ever for anyone to create extensions that can be shared across different projects.

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's the first week of December and I am in the amazing city of Perth, Australia. Perth, for those of you who don't know, is amazing. And well worth the journey. But it is quite the journey! 27 hours, door-to-door, from San Francisco to Perth! Insanity.

I'm super happy to be here, though, talking to amazing folks before I begin my journey from Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney, Australia for the epic YOW! conference. It's going to be a ton of fun.

Dear Spring Community,

This post serves to announce the sunset of two legacy public repositories dating all the way back to SpringSource and early VMware days. Both have been well out of support for over a decade now.

Hi, Spring fans! Happy Thanksgiving to my American listeners! and happy Thursday to the everyone! In today's episode I talk to PostgreSQL and PostgreSQL JDBC contributor Dave Cramer. #postgresql #jdbc #sql #java
