Recently, OpenAI made headlines by delaying the launch of ChatGPT’s eagerly awaited voice mode due to technical issues and the need to ensure high-quality performance.
This delay could have been better for many eager to interact with the AI chatbot through voice. However, there is a new contender in the AI chatbot arena. Meet Moshi, an advanced AI voice assistant developed by the French AI company Kyutai.
Moshi is an AI voice assistant designed for lifelike conversations, similar to Amazon’s Alexa or Google Assistant. What sets Moshi apart is its ability to speak in various accents and utilize 70 different emotional and speaking styles. It can even understand the tone of your voice as you talk.
One of its standout features is its capability to handle two audio streams simultaneously, allowing it to listen and respond simultaneously. This impressive new voice assistant recently launched with a live stream and has been making waves in the tech world ever since.
According to a report by Tech Radar, Moshi’s development included an extensive fine-tuning process. This process utilized over 100,000 synthetic dialogues generated through Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology.
Kyutai also worked with a professional voice artist to ensure Moshi’s responses sounded natural and engaging.
