Canopy Labs

Canopy Labs is building a foundation model for digital humans—virtual characters that look, move, and sound like real people in real time.

Next-generation digital humans

The team focuses on creating digital humans that can speak naturally, show emotions, and interact with the world around them. The goal is to make digital communication feel more human and believable, so these characters can be used across products, services, and interactive platforms.

Technology approach

Canopy Labs’ research centers on new model architectures, multimodal datasets, and advanced training techniques. One key result is Orpheus, a state-of-the-art speech synthesis system designed to produce a voice that is nearly indistinguishable from a human.

For developers and researchers

Canopy Labs is open to collaboration and invites engineers, researchers, and product teams to help shape the future of digital humans. The website includes project updates, a blog, and open job listings for people working on new ways humans and AI can interact.
