Benchmarking 8 "system one" models for voice agent turn-taking — there's a catch
solyarisoftware · x · 2026-10-10
The authors benchmarked 8 "system one" (low-latency) models, letting each control when a voice agent is allowed to speak — i.e., turn-taking decisions — and arrived at a clear answer about which is best for voice agents, though with "a catch" detailed in their thread. The benchmark targets the speed-vs-judgment tradeoff in voice agent scenarios rather than general reasoning ability.
