The company recently crossed $600M in annualised revenue and is reportedly in tender-offer talks at a roughly $22B valuation, doubling from $11B seven months earlier. The hire also lands ahead of the EU AI Act's Article 50 deadline of 2 December 2026, which requires synthetic audio outputs to carry a machine-readable mark, with narrower-than-expected exemptions for artistic and satirical works. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
