Mamamiaaaaa it's buzzzzzing!!!! Get back to it when you have some quiet time:

.@blocks just released Dessa, a voice model that learned to talk without ever reading a word.
Most speech-to-speech models start from a text LLM and add audio on top. Dessa was trained from scratch on recordings of human conversation only. No text, no pretrained model.
What Block shared:
↳ full-duplex: it listens and talks at the same time
↳ backchannels, laughs, finishes your sentence when you blank
↳ trained on a single NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 rack
↳ runs locally on a MacBook Pro M4 Max, faster than real time
What's missing: no benchmarks, no model size, no API, no weights. Research preview with a waitlist, early access for AI safety researchers.
For teams building cascaded voice agents, it's a direct challenge to the speech-to-text step, where tone and timing get lost.
