Telnyx has launched LiveKit on Telnyx, a fully hosted platform for deploying voice AI agents with reduced costs and ultra-low latency. The platform allows developers to run existing LiveKit agents on Telnyx-owned infrastructure without code changes. By owning the entire infrastructure stack—carrier network, GPU clusters and telephony—Telnyx offers 50% lower speech-to-text and text-to-speech costs compared to LiveKit Cloud. The company is waiving session fees during the beta period, eliminating the current $0.01 per minute charge LiveKit customers typically pay. The platform achieves sub-200ms round-trip time by hosting speech models on colocated GPU infrastructure across 18 global points of presence. It includes enterprise telephony features and compliance standards including HIPAA, PCI and SOC 2. LiveKit on Telnyx is now available in beta.
Telnyx launches "LiveKit on Telnyx" for deploying Voice AI agents with lower cost and ultra-low latency. Apr. 6, 2026, 01:00 PM AUSTIN, Texas, April 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Telnyx, the trusted Voice AI infrastructure platform, today announced the launch of LiveKit on Telnyx, a fully hosted platform that runs LiveKit agents on Telnyx-owned infrastructure with dramatically lower costs, ultra-low latency, and enterprise telephony built in. LiveKit on Telnyx enables developers to deploy existing LiveKit agents without changing their code. Customers package their agent with a Dockerfile, deploy via API, and go live on Telnyx infrastructure. No servers to provision. No third-party vendors to manage. Infrastructure Ownership Changes the Economics Most voice AI platforms resell third-party APIs for speech and telephony, stacking margins at each layer. Telnyx owns the infrastructure at each level of the stack: carrier network, GPU clusters, and telephony. Telnyx allows LiveKit customers to deploy agents on Telnyx infrastructure, delivering savings on costs, as well as enhanced performance and reliability. Telnyx offers 50% lower speech-to-text (STT) and text-to-speech (TTS) costs vs. LiveKit Cloud on equivalent models, and promises no session fees during the beta period of LiveKit on Telnyx, which currently costs LiveKit customers $0.01/min per active session. Ultra-Low Latency Through Colocated Inference Telnyx hosts STT and TTS models on owned GPU infrastructure, colocated with global telephony points of presence. Audio never leaves the Telnyx network, eliminating the variable latency that comes from routing through external APIs. The result is sub-200ms round-trip time for conversations that feel natural. This dedicated compute layer ensures consistent performance at scale while maintaining the security and compliance standards that enterprise deployments demand. "Voice AI is moving from prototype to production," said David Casem, CEO and co-founder of Telnyx. "That transition demands infrastructure built for enterprise reliability and compliance. LiveKit on Telnyx gives developers the framework they know with the carrier-grade foundation that enterprise production deployments require." Carrier-Grade Telephony Built In Enterprise voice AI applications require sophisticated SIP capabilities including AMR-WB codec support, call recording, call transfers, and custom trunk configurations, with Telnyx, these capabilities are native, not integrated from third parties. "LiveKit created an excellent agent framework," said Jon Scalet, Technical Product Manager at Telnyx. "LiveKit on Telnyx extends it with the telephony infrastructure that enterprise deployments require, carrier-grade SIP, verified identity, and compliance built into every call." Availability LiveKit on Telnyx is available now in beta. Session fees are waived during the beta period. Existing LiveKit developers migrate in minutes, the agent code stays the same. About Telnyx Telnyx is the trust infrastructure powering the Voice AI economy. Telnyx owns its carrier network, holds telecom licenses in 30+ countries, and operates 18 global points of presence with colocated GPU infrastructure for edge inference. This single operational domain delivers sub-200ms round-trip time, A-level STIR/SHAKEN authentication, and enterprise compliance including HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2, and GDPR, ensuring AI agents are not just deployed, but answered and trusted.

A cybercrime group linked to the Trivy supply-chain attack has compromised Telnyx's Python SDK on PyPI, planting credential-stealing malware on developers' systems. Security firm Ox Security identified the attackers as TeamPCP, the same crew behind recent malicious LiteLLM packages. The compromised Telnyx versions (4.87.1 and 4.87.2) downloaded malware disguised as a .wav file that was decoded and executed on target machines. Telnyx, which sees over 34,000 weekly PyPI downloads, confirmed only its Python package was affected and has resolved the issue. The company recommends treating any environment running the affected versions as compromised and rotating exposed credentials. None of Telnyx's infrastructure, networking or other services were impacted.
Telnyx has introduced ClawdTalk, a technical demonstration that enables AI agents to operate over voice calls by connecting them to the public phone network. Built on top of OpenClaw, ClawdTalk addresses real-time execution challenges that AI agents face during live voice interactions, including sub-second latency requirements and interruptions. The demonstration adds voice as an interface to existing AI agents without altering their core logic, memory or tools. According to CEO David Casem, the infrastructure gap, rather than intelligence limitations, prevents AI agents from operating reliably in production environments. ClawdTalk serves as a proof point for Telnyx's broader strategy of enabling AI agents to function in real conversations under real-world conditions. Telnyx operates as a full-stack platform combining carrier-grade telephony, global regulatory compliance and edge GPUs for conversational AI deployment.
