This is cool but if you're trying to cater to devs you need to have a simple on demand API model and no subscription. We need to be able to evaluate the cost on our side.

#52This is really cool. I got kind of scared I was about to talk to some random Hassaan haha. Super excited to see where this goes. Incredible MVP.
Haha imagining the website just opening a direct webcam feed to my desk. Appreciate the support!

#53As someone not super familiar with deployment but enough to know that GPUs are difficult to work with due to being costly and sometimes hard to allocate: apart from optimizing the models themselves, what's the trick for handling cloud GPU resources at scale to serve something like this, supporting many realtime connections with low latency? Do you just allocate a GPU per websocket connection? Which would mean keeping a pool of GPU instances allocated in case someone connects, otherwise cold start time would be bad.. but isn't that super expensive? I feel like I'm missing some trick in the cloud space that makes this kind of thing possible and affordable.

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
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 a conversational style of interaction with the vastness of information contained within the LLMs and context under the hood. Whereas, with Google or other search based interactions I'm more point and shoot. I find CVI is more of an experie…
I’m having trouble understanding what CVI means here. Is it the firm Computer Vision Inc. ( https://www.cvi.ai/ )? The firm in the post seems to be called Tavus, and their products either “digital twins” or “Carter.” Not meaning to be pedantic, I’m just wondering whether the “V” in the thing you’ve spoken to indicates more “voice” or “video” conversations.
Hahah that's very valid looking back, it stands for Conversational Video Interface

#55Functionality for a demo launch: 9.5/10 Creepiness: 10/10
I was just about to try it, but the idea of allowing Firefox access to my audio/video to talk to a machine-generated person gave me such a bad feeling, I couldn't go through with it even fuelled by my morbid curiosity.

#56This is funny my name is Simone, pronounced 'see-moh-nay' (Italian male), but both bots kept pronouncing it wrong, either like Simon or the English female version of Simone (Siy-mown). No matter how many times I tried to correct them and asked them to repeat it, they kept making the same mistake. It felt like I was talking to an idiot. I guess it has something to do with how my name is tokenized.

#57This is so amazing. What's the base rate for streaming with the API? Can you add that to the Pricing page please?

#58I would pay cold hard cash if I could easily create an AI avatar of myself that could attend teams meetings and do basic interaction, like give a status update when called on.
This would require the AI to alert you as soon as your colleagues are starting to figure out that they're talking to an AI and start interrogating it, so that you can jump in with your real mic and save the situation. Preferably the AI would repeat whatever you speak into your mic, otherwise there would be noticeable audio changes. Hope they never ask you to sing.

#59Amazing work technically, less than 1 second is very impressive. It quite scary though that I might FaceTime someone one day soon, and they’d won’t be real. What do you think about the societal implications for this? Today we have a bit of a loneliness crisis due to a lack of human connection.
Another nail in the coffin for WFH, too. "They" will be scared we're not actually working even when on calls.
The question is, what'll come first - AI agents that will replace white collar jobs, so you don't even need the employees or companies not trusting WFH employees, thus bringing everyone back to in person?

#60Okay, that was really impressive. Well done!
