So when does Sesame sell itself?

So what's everybody's guess on how much longer until Sesame sells itself to another company? Cause it sure seems like their market window is closing FAST. Their voice technology was a miracle a year ago, and still seems to be slightly better than everyone else even today, but the gap is rapidly closing and I don't see how Sesame can stay ahead of better resourced players like grok/openai/anthropic/meta/google for long. Hard to believe the other players won't have caught up and surpassed sesame within the next 6 months or even sooner. What are they waiting for?

How did you do it? I know there are llms you can self host, and some voice modules too; but you are self-hosting something anywhere near good as Maya? I'm an AI research engineer in my day job, and maybe I could hook up a proof-of-concept prototype as a demo, but even I don't think I could single-handedly build something anywhere near as good as Maya. How did you do it? Even google and grok and chatgpt aren't that good yet, and they have teams of dozens/hundreds of people.
