Cartesia was founded by the researchers who created state space models, the S4 and Mamba architectures from their academic work. Every Sonic generation is a state space model rather than a Transformer, which is the architectural basis of the latency claims the family is known for.

Four Sonic generations sit on the Humanness Index™, from the May 2024 debut model to the current Sonic 3.5 flagship. Since Sonic 3 the platform has carried SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and PCI Level 1 compliance, aimed at regulated phone work.
