ElevenLabs AI Updates: May 1, 2026

1. ElevenMusic Launches as a Listen-and-Remix Platform

ElevenLabs officially launched ElevenMusic, pitching it not as a passive listening app but as a system that connects listening, remixing, and original creation in one product. The service lets businesses, creators, artists, and consumers generate studio-grade music from natural-language prompts, with rights cleared via partnerships with industry rightsholders. The companion iOS app offers seven free songs per day for casual users while paid tiers unlock higher volume and commercial use. Source

2. On-Premise and On-Device Deployment Goes Live

ElevenLabs opened up on-premise and on-device deployment options for its voice models, targeting customers in regulated industries that cannot send audio to a hosted API. The deployment surfaces support the same voice cloning, TTS, and conversational agent endpoints available in the cloud, but run inside customer infrastructure or on local hardware. The move aligns ElevenLabs with broader enterprise demand for sovereign and air-gapped AI inference. Source

3. Agent SDKs Hit v1.0 With Multimodal Conversation Support

ElevenLabs shipped v1.0.0 of its client-side Agent SDKs across @elevenlabs/client, @elevenlabs/react, and @elevenlabs/react-native, a release that includes major breaking changes for callers. The useConversationControls hook now exposes sendMultimodalMessage, and the MultimodalMessageInput type is exported from @elevenlabs/client, making it easier to send images and other modalities into a live agent conversation. The release is paired with a Fern regeneration that adds scoped analysis, test folders, and DTMF input support to the underlying API schema. Source
