    The response timing in the chart in the blog post shows that even with perfect precision/recall Sparrow-1 also has the fastest true positive response times. The turn taking models …

    You can try Sparrow-1 with any of our PALs, or by signing up for a developer account.

    Try out the PALs: they all use Sparrow-1. You can try Charlie on Tavus.io on the homepage in one of the retro retro-styled windows there.

    This is a very good idea. We currently have a model in our perception system (Raven-1) that performs this partially. It uses audio to understand tone and augment the transcription …

    You should be skeptical, and try it out. I selected 28 long conversations for our evaluation set, all unseen audio. Every turn taking model makes tradeoffs, and I tried to make the…

    That’s great! I also built Sparrow-0, and Sparrow-1 was designed to address Sparrow-0’s shortcomings. 1 is a much better model, both in terms of responsiveness and patience.

    I haven’t tried that one yet, I’ll check it out.

    Maybe infiniband is a bit more than we can handle. That technology is incredible! You are right though, we have been willing to build things we needed that didn’t exist yet, or wer…

    As a dev myself, I see a couple of modes of operation: - push to talk - long form conversation - short form conversation In both conversational approaches the AI can respond with s…

    You could hack this together now with OBS and Tavus.

    We're partnering with GPU infrastructure providers like Replicate. In addition, we have done some engineering to bring down our stack's cold and warm boot times. With sufficient ca…

    We have the ability to send phonetic pronunciations as guidance, and this could be a great addition to our LLM/response generation stack! Adding a check for names and then adding i…

    Thanks for that insight. Brian here, one of the engineers for CVI. I've spoken with CVI so much, and as it has become more natural, I've found myself becoming more comfortable with…

    Checkout Tavus.io for realtime. They have a great API for realtime conversational replicas. You can configure the CVI to do just about anything you want to do with a realtime strea…

    Tavus.io already does this. They have realtime conversational replicas: with a < 1 second response time. Hyper realistic too.
