What stands out

What its maker marketed at launch, and what people found later, each with its source.

  • Open full-duplex spoken dialogue

    7B temporal transformer modelling user and Moshi audio streams simultaneously with an ‘inner monologue’ text stream; 160 ms theoretical / ~200 ms practical latency on an L4; Mimi codec (24 kHz, 12.5 Hz, 1.1 kbps).

  • Hibiki-Zero simultaneous speech translation

    3B model (2026-02-12) translating French, Spanish, Portuguese and German speech to English in real time with voice transfer, trained without aligned data.

  • MoshiRAG

    Asynchronous knowledge retrieval via a text LLM for full-duplex speech models (2026-04-30); RL post-training for interactivity (2026-06-10).

Notes

Moshi (announced July 2024, weights + paper Sept 2024) is widely cited as the first real-time full-duplex open spoken dialogue model; NVIDIA PersonaPlex-7B (Jan 2026) is fine-tuned from Moshiko weights. Variants: moshiko (male)/moshika (female) in PyTorch bf16/int8, MLX int4/int8/bf16, Rust/Candle. Code MIT/Apache, weights CC-BY-4.0.
