Researchers have developed a novel technique called conversational infill to address the trade-off between responsiveness and capability in voice agents. This method employs a small, real-time "talker" model that immediately generates responses while simultaneously integrating delayed outputs from a more powerful "reasoner" model. A synthetic dataset of over 290,000 examples was created to train seven different small language models, demonstrating that this approach can achieve millisecond-level response times while maintaining near-frontier model accuracy.
