Researchers have developed BayLing-Duplex, a novel full-duplex speech language model that enables simultaneous listening and speaking without relying on external turn-taking modules. This single autoregressive LLM can manage natural conversational phenomena like interruptions and hesitations. Fine-tuned with a modest dataset, BayLing-Duplex demonstrates high success rates in turn-taking and interruption handling, while maintaining or improving response quality compared to turn-based models.
