A Reddit user demos Dessa, a full-duplex speech-to-speech model that reportedly sounds impressively realistic and runs locally on consumer GPUs.
The poster calls it a "GPT-3 moment for speech" — full-duplex means the model can listen and talk simultaneously with natural interruptions, rather than the turn-based flow of traditional voice assistants.
