Tyger model enables open-weights full-duplex voice agent turn-control

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new open-weights model named Tyger has been released, designed for full-duplex turn-control in voice agents. It operates by analyzing audio from both the user and the agent's playback to determine the appropriate response state, such as answering, stopping, or chiming in. The Tyger model, built upon NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 ASR Streaming 0.6B, can be integrated into a larger system like tyger-s2s, which combines it with Gemma 4 E4B FP8 and VoxCPM2 for tool calls and concurrent conversations, achieving approximately 0.7-second replies on an RTX 5090.
