Even AI agents need @AndrewYNg for advice. So ours called him.
He happened to be recording a course - this course, which is live today ✨

Backchanneling is a sequence-level behavior, so GRPO feels like a very natural fit here. 👍

New paper: Multi-Faceted Interactivity Alignment in Full-Duplex Speech Models

We use RL to post-train speech models (Moshi and PersonaPlex) to talk more like a human: to know when to respond, when to wait, and when to nod along with “yeah”s and “okay”s when listening.

Voice agents aren't just chatbots—they need to ACT by using tools 🔨. To feel natural, they must handle your "ums", mid-sentence corrections, and call APIs with low latency.

Is the code open source, but the model weights not released?

Full-duplex speech LLMs could be the next AGI interface, not because voice is “cooler,” but because human intelligence operates through continuous, parallel, real-time multimodal signals. Text chat is turn-based and discrete; real interaction is overlapping, expressive, and alive

🚀 Introducing NVIDIA PersonaPlex 🚀
🕷️ With great control comes great naturalness.
PersonaPlex explores the limits of naturalness and controllability in full-duplex conversational AI, and demonstrates that controllability is key to fully leveraging naturalness.
By prompting both voice and role, we can finetune a full-duplex model on real human conversations together with synthetic data in a single stage. This allows the model to learn natural tone and speaking style from real speech while covering a wide range of roles and behaviors from synthetic data, without getting confused. The result is human-level conversational naturalness with emergent generalization to new personas.
