Move over GPUs: CAMB.AI and Kompact AI partner to unlock Speech and Localization models on server-grade CPUs

CAMB.AI and Kompact AI partner to make advanced multilingual voice and LLM technology run efficiently on server-grade CPUs, democratizing enterprise access to AI.

San Francisco and Bengalaru, December 10, 2025 — CAMB.AI, the global leader in AI-powered multilingual voice translation and content localization, today announced a strategic partnership with Kompact AI by Ziroh Labs, the pioneering CPU-first AI platform that enables large language models to run efficiently on server-grade CPUs without compromising performance. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in democratizing enterprise AI access, combining CAMB.AI's industry-leading voice synthesis technology with Kompact AI's groundbreaking runtime to optimize LLMs for CPUs with no degradation in throughput and output quality.

The CAMB.AI-Kompact AI partnership represents more than a technical integration, it embodies a shared commitment to democratizing access to advanced AI capabilities. By combining proven voice synthesis technology with revolutionary CPU optimization, the partnership enables organizations worldwide to deploy sophisticated multilingual communication systems without traditional infrastructure barriers.

Strategic Alignment: Shared Vision for Accessible AI

Both companies believe advanced AI should be accessible beyond big-budget enterprises, continuing their legacy of disrupting industry norms:

  • CAMB.AI pioneered emotionally authentic multilingual dubbing for live sports with brands like NASCAR, Major League Soccer, YES Network, Australian Open, FanCode and Comcast NBCUniversal.
  • Kompact AI proved large language models can deliver top performance on optimized CPU infrastructure, challenging the GPU-centric model.

Transforming Enterprise AI Deployment: From GPU Dependence to CPU Freedom

This partnership represents a paradigm shift in how enterprises deploy and scale AI applications. While the industry has been locked into expensive GPU infrastructure for AI workloads, Kompact AI's revolutionary CPU-first approach delivers 50% cost reduction in AI inferencing while maintaining full model quality, eliminating the need for quantization or distillation that traditionally compromises accuracy.

"Just as we've democratized multilingual communication by making voice translation accessible across 150+ languages, this partnership with Kompact AI democratizes access to powerful AI infrastructure. Enterprises no longer need to choose between performance and accessibility. They can now deploy our MARS8 and BOLI models on standard CPU infrastructure while achieving broadcast-quality results," said Akshat Prakash, Co-Founder and CTO of CAMB.AI.
Speaking about the partnership Hrishikesh Dewan, Co-Founder & CEO at Ziroh Labs said, “We are excited to enter into a partnership with CAMB.AI. This strategic alliance will create unprecedented opportunities for enterprises to deploy sophisticated AI via Kompact AI without traditional barriers, another step towards facilitating accessibility in an effort to democratize AI. CAMB.AI has a proven track record of delivering broadcast-quality voice synthesis at scale and combined with our CPU-first optimization runtime, this promises to be a gamechanger when deploying multilingual AI models across industries from sports to education to healthcare.”

Technical Excellence: Where Voice AI Meets CPU Innovation

The integration uses Kompact AI’s advanced CPU optimizations and hybrid architecture to run CAMB.AI’s models with exceptional efficiency on server-grade CPU hardware, solving key enterprise challenges:

  • Infrastructure Democratization: Deploy voice translation without costly GPU clusters or cloud GPUs.
  • Edge Capability: Enable real-time multilingual translation on edge devices, even offline.
  • Scalable Simplicity: Scale voice AI workloads linearly without rising infrastructure costs.

Real-World Impact: From Sports Stadiums to Healthcare Facilities

The CAMB.AI-Kompact AI integration enables transformative use cases across industries:

Live Sports and Broadcasting

Sports venues can now deploy real-time multilingual commentary systems on local hardware, eliminating cloud dependency and API costs while maintaining the emotional authenticity that has made CAMB.AI the choice of Major League Soccer, Australian Open, and Eurovision Sports.

Healthcare and Compliance

Hospitals and healthcare providers can run patient communication systems entirely on-premises, ensuring HIPAA compliance while breaking language barriers in critical care scenarios, all without expensive GPU infrastructure.

Education and Research

Educational institutions can deploy multilingual learning systems on campus infrastructure, making quality education accessible in students' native languages without cloud dependencies.

Enterprise Global Communication

Multinational corporations can implement real-time translation in conference rooms and customer service centers using existing IT infrastructure, dramatically reducing deployment costs and complexity.

Technical Deep Dive: Optimized Performance Architecture

The integration employs Kompact AI's proprietary optimization framework that operates at multiple computational levels:

Model-Level Optimizations

  • Hybrid Modular Architecture: Parallel deployment of specialized smaller models that collectively deliver superior performance compared to monolithic approaches
  • Dynamic Resource Allocation: Intelligent workload distribution across CPU cores based on real-time processing demands
  • Memory Hierarchy Optimization: Advanced caching strategies that minimize memory latency for voice processing workloads

System-Level Integration

  • Custom Kernel Optimizations: LLVM-level tuning specifically designed for voice synthesis and translation workloads
  • Pipeline Parallelization: Concurrent processing of CAMB.AI's BOLI (translation) and MARS (voice synthesis) models
  • Thermal Management: Intelligent CPU utilization that maintains consistent performance while managing thermal constraints

Industry Validation

The partnership arrives as industry leaders increasingly recognize the limitations of GPU-dependent AI infrastructure:

  • Cost Sustainability: GPU infrastructure costs have become prohibitive for many organizations, limiting AI adoption
  • Supply Chain Resilience: CPU-based deployment reduces dependency on scarce GPU supply chains
  • Environmental Impact: CPU-based AI significantly reduces power consumption compared to GPU farms

Competitive Differentiation: Beyond Traditional Trade-offs

Unlike traditional AI deployment strategies that force enterprises to choose between performance, cost, and accessibility, the CAMB.AI-Kompact AI partnership eliminates these trade-offs:

  • Performance Without Compromise: Full model quality without quantization or distillation
  • Cost Efficiency: Up to 50% reduction in operational costs compared to GPU-based deployments
  • Infrastructure Flexibility: Deployment on existing enterprise hardware or cloud CPU instances
  • Regulatory Compliance: On-premises deployment capability for regulated industries
