NVIDIA releases NemotronLabs VoiceChat 11B for real-time, full-duplex AI conversations

NVIDIA has launched NemotronLabs VoiceChat 11B, an open-source, full-duplex speech-to-speech model designed for real-time conversational AI. This unified model integrates speech recognition, language understanding, and speech synthesis, achieving a turn-taking latency of approximately 448 ms. A key feature is its ability to perform tool calling concurrently with ongoing conversation, allowing for seamless integration of external functions without interrupting the dialogue. AI

IMPACT Enables more natural and responsive voice interactions by reducing latency and allowing concurrent tool use in conversational AI applications.
