Josh Talks launches first full-duplex Hindi conversational AI model

Researchers have developed the first open and reproducible full-duplex spoken dialogue system for the Hindi language. This system, named Human-1, adapts the Moshi architecture and was trained on over 26,000 hours of real conversations from nearly 15,000 speakers. The model is designed to handle natural conversational elements like interruptions and overlaps, aiming to enable more natural real-time spoken interactions in Hindi and potentially other Indian languages. AI

IMPACT Enables more natural, real-time spoken dialogue systems for Hindi and other Indian languages.
