aigclink · x · 2026-07-30
Alibaba has open-sourced Qwen-Audio-Agent, a real-time voice runtime designed to provide a unified voice front-end for existing AI agent ecosystems.
- Front-end interaction: Features a full-duplex real-time voice layer supporting continuous conversation and natural interruptions, mimicking a phone call experience.
- Back-end execution: Integrates with various agents like OpenCode and Codex to handle deep tasks such as searching, reasoning, writing code, and modifying files.
- Collaboration mode: Complex tasks are delegated to background agents, with execution results streamed back into the voice conversation in real time, enabling seamless speak-and-work human-agent collaboration.
