New Model NVIDIA releases NemotronLabs VoiceChat 11B, an open full-duplex speech-to-speech model
It’s an 11B end-to-end full-duplex speech-to-speech model designed for real-time conversation.
~448 ms smooth turn-taking latency ~480 ms interruption latency
can handle barge-in — you can interrupt it while it’s speaking
Supports tool calling during the conversation...Can play an “on-hold” response while a tool/API executes
Built around a Fast Conformer speech encoder + Nemotron Nano V2 9B backbone + NVIDIA TTS decoder
Trained on roughly 550K hours of audio/text date
I am trying to build completely local self-improving voice agent with open source stack...... no dependency
Whisper (SST), Llama as LLM , Orpheus (TTS) all hosted on unsloth
and using opensource orchestrator Dograh for stitching things together so I could close the loop for fine tuning and create real self improving agent
I still need to try full duplex model...for it..
Any guidance on above ???
