Boson AI unveils Higgs Realtime Duplex, a 45B MoE full-duplex multimodal model

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Boson AI has released Higgs Realtime Duplex, a 45 billion parameter Mixture-of-Experts model capable of simultaneous audio and video processing, alongside text generation and tool use. This full-duplex system processes information in 160ms chunks, allowing for continuous background work such as thinking, tool delegation, and response generation even while speaking. The model can be zero-shot configured with reference audio and images for voice and face, and has demonstrated strong performance across several benchmarks, though it does not offer open weights. AI

IMPACT Sets a new bar for real-time multimodal interaction, potentially accelerating the development of more natural and responsive AI agents.
