Deepgram acquires Daily and its open-source Pipecat voice agent framework, combining real-time communications infrastructure with speech models and orchestration to build an integrated production voice AI platform. Pipecat remains open-source under BSD V2 licence, with a new independent foundation established to maintain vendor-neutral architecture.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
The stack for production voice agents just got integrated by a company with 5,000 paying customers. If you're building voice features, you now have one vendor offering latency, speech models, orchestration and global routing together—and Deepgram is keeping the orchestration layer open so you're not locked in. Call your customers this week: they can now prototype faster and deploy without choosing between vendor lock-in and building the networking plumbing yourself.
