   ElevenLabs launches Eleven Realtime v1 Mini and Max speech-to-speech models

   ElevenLabs released Eleven Realtime, a speech-to-speech model line with v1 Mini for lower-cost natural conversation and v1 Max for customer support and multi-step tasks, on October 20, 2026. Both models are available through the ElevenAgents platform and an OpenAI-compatible Realtime API, priced per minute plus token costs, with Max costing more than Mini. According to Artificial Analysis independent testing reported by 智东西, Max scored 98.8% on Big Bench Audio with a 0.57-second average first-audio response, placing third behind StepAudio 3 Realtime at 99.7% and Qwen Audio 3.0 Realtime Plus at 99.2%, while Mini scored 75.9%; ElevenLabs separately claimed no model on the Artificial Analysis leaderboard is both faster and more accurate, and 智东西's hands-on test of the Architect setup assistant found voice editing convenient but noted a noticeable Chinese accent, long replies and latency.

   CME compute futures delayed as GPU rental becomes a tradable contract

   Economic Observer, republished by 36Kr, reports that two compute futures designed by CME Group and Silicon Data on Nvidia H100 and B200 rental prices were originally slated to list on NYMEX on Oct 5 but were delayed after CFTC flagged the product as novel or complex, extending the review to a Nov 9 completion date, with CME marking the initial listing date as to be announced. Meanwhile ICE and Ornn began publishing Ornn Compute Index reference data, Kalshi already offers GPU compute price prediction contracts and forward curves, and Architect and Nodal Exchange are moving on similar products. Interviews with Chinese compute rental firms, cloud vendors, model companies and AIDC park operators found no mature public compute price index domestically, so firms rely on long-term contracts, prepayments and reserved capacity, while Nanhua Futures unit Henghua International signed a memorandum with Silicon Data.
