What makes Moshi truly stand out is its ability to listen and speak at the same time, with a lightning-fast response time of just 160 milliseconds. That’s faster than a blink of an eye!
Kyutai is even claiming it’s the first “real-time” voice AI assistant out there, potentially beating even OpenAI’s highly anticipated Voice Mode feature.
And the best part? Kyutai is all about sharing the love. They’re planning to open-source their research and model in the coming weeks, meaning anyone can dive in and explore the magic behind Moshi.
You can even try it out right now on Hugging Face.
This is a big deal for the French AI scene, putting them firmly on the map as a serious contender in the global AI race. With Moshi’s unique personality and impressive capabilities, it’s clear that the future of AI is looking bright, and it might just have a charming French accent.
